Do you think boxing isn't good as it used to be?

Mayweather Sr said in an interview that back in sugar ray leonards time there were better boxers than there are now, what do you think?

Yes and Mayweather Sr. could not have picked a better boxer than Sugar Ray Leonard. Leonard fought all the best fighters in his time including Wilfred Benitez, Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns and Marvin Hagler with no promotional outfits or networks squabbling for the right to make and promote those fights.Fans grew up virtually knowing every fighters that matter in those days; no mysterious upstarts. There were only two major world boxing sanctioning and rating bodies.. There were none or very few mismatches or big time upsets because of those, The fans virtually got the fights that we wanted and more. The fights were mostly on free TV. How much better can that get?

the only reason why i'd agree with mayweather sr is because the best pugilists aren't fighting each other e.g mayweather jr and pacquaio

I agree 100% I know that the fighters are not as good because I am around them every day.

It depends .
