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!
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.
good post i agree. shame cruiserweight division cant have some of the boxers you mentioned
read this thread..this is how a good intelegant boxing discussion goes...
We all know you're the smartest one here LOL. Floyd is not even the greatest in 1 decade.

Mayweather...yes
Pacquiao...no LOLLLL
naw it really was..i forgot the fighters name but he was a philly fighter..but i saw footage of him not to long ago on here..shoulder roll is nothing new
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
if floyd is born in the early days...those shoulder roll defense is not yet born...yea seriously
that's not quite true the shoulder roll is more of a classic style. It's been around longer than you mihgt think...
its really not..both are phenominal athletes and dominated their era..both are atg's..floyds career isnt finished(not saying he's greater than srr)but in those days you got payed less and had to fight more..if floyd were forced to fight more for less we'd see more of his potential and that goes for alot of modern day fighters...its all about money
that's a good point, I see were you're coming from...

still I yesterday footage of SSR in action. He was a monster, but what stood out to me was the level of comp did seem like a challenge and he threw alot of punches from arond the hip area. Speaking from this day and time, I don't know if he fair as well now...
agreed...but like i said...its a fantasy that we gonna imagine for our whole life
Agreed. I think it just makes for interesting discussion though, as long as stans are outrageous with there comments.

Crack head is probably a pactard which is rare . a crackhead pactard.
Be serious and don't bring your hate in here.
I think the TS is just saying, it's sensless to compare fighters like floyd and SSR.
id pay to see those 2 teams play....would be a hell of a series to be honest...
and im a diehard no holds bar jordan fan to the heart
yea but its pretty sad we wont be able to see that...tsk..tsk

not true.srr had a modern style and would be competive in any era..and floyd has a throwback style with a modern swag and would be compettive in any era..thats what being great means..no matter the era they would be on the top of the sport..there were dedicated and talented
ur like saying the chicago bulls "jordan"era vs the lakers "kobe's" era...tsk..tsk..tsk...whos gonna win?
