but floyd perfected it....but then again..its just a fantasy we gonna imagine...
i just dont belive floyd can beat SRR if he was born earlier, same for SRR

Honestly all the elite fighters today would be great in those older era's and all those elite fighters from the past would be just as great now.

I mean look at how huge and athletic guys like Leonard and Hearns were for WW.

The Klitschkos would be elite in any era
Floyd and Manny would be elite in any era
Bhop would be elite in any era
and I could go on and on

As far as legends, Robinson, Villa, and others would be elite but the one thing I will say is that if some of those HW were here to day, cruiserwieght would be the hottest division in boxing right now. Guys like Dempsey, Tunney, Louis, Johnson, Marciano, Patterson, Langford just to name a few. Either that or with the strength and conditioning, combined with better nutritional programs, would have these guys bigger and faster than ever fighter at HW.

this right here..................

james toney and hopkins can shoulder roll with the best of them....floyd was to small for srr..remember srr fought for the light heavyweight title and was knocking out middleweights with one punch

[ModernTalking]

seriously..lets stop our fantasy on comparing decade and modern boxers

lets make an example on PBF and SRR:
if PBF was born on SRR's era his ass will get handled easily
if SRR was born on PBF's era his ass will probably handled easily as well

real talk!

Mayweather...yes

Pacquiao...no LOLLLL
