                    Fought perhaps the greatest round in boxing history. Just marvelous! Must have watched the Hearns fight at least 10 times.

                      Golden age of boxing along with the nearing end of the heavyweight division even with Tyson on the way. Hearns, Hagler, Leonard, Camacho, Duran along with Ali, Spinks, Foreman, Frazier, Holmes and I am surely forgetting some key names.

                        I always think of the golden age of boxing as Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano, Sugar Ray Robinson, when it had a significant following.

                          WhY - because people told you it was? Yes I've heard the same but sorry for me it's impossible to compare to the overall talent, depth and rivalries of the 80's and 90's.

                            The late 60s through the 70s would have to be considered. The '76 Olympic boxing was fantastic stuff.

                              No, because if you watch old movies there's always a boxing scene, regardless of class, and now it's a fringe sport like wrestling.

                              Boxing is like the horses. It's vestigial.

                              As far as comparing ages, you basically just said Ruth and Gehrig sucked because you never saw them. That is silliness.

                              Serious question: why was there never a color line in boxing?

                                Well...there was a color line in boxing. It just broke a generation or two before the other major sports. I am trying to remember the name of the PBS documentary, but it followed Jack Johnson, and then also discussed about how when Johnson finally, somewhat, broke the color line, he actually refused to fight black boxers. Very interesting.
