Guys seriously stop glorifying the oldies...
YES!!! Greb was the best of his time but H2H with RJJ? SOD OFF!!!
RJJ would spark Greb and anyone else of that era easily.
C'MON GUYS!!! Be serious.... Have you seen these guys fight?
LOOKS THE SAME TO ME!!!!!!!!
HAHA another typical NSB thread...
Boxers fought far more often, and experience is one of the key factors which determines proficiency in boxing.
There are so many tricks and techniques that have been lost...
Fighters were tougher, far far more heart.
As well conditioned if not better.
Even if you think Pac would beat Greb H2H for example, Greb simply achieved so so much more than Pac ever will. He beat 21 HOFers. Pacquiao has beaten about 3 or 4, most of whom were shot to sh1t.
Sure, in Head to Head most of the modern guys would tool fighters from the first 50 years of the 1900s.
But most of them can't hold a candle to what Greb had accomplished in his career. In fact, only about 3 fighters ever actually can.

Agreed. Training and nutrition has come a long way since then. Even with boxing being behind all of the other major sports it still is much more improved from the olden days.
But be warned people get really offended on this topic.
nutrition maybe... rice or chicken back in the day for some unknown reason may have less carbo or protein compared to the rice and chicken today...:)
but training? a lot of the old-skool fighters had more "boxing tricks" in the bag so to speak...
a lot of fighters today (save PBF and hopkins) doesnt even have a good "inside game" if u know what i mean...
i cant lie that sparring clip was terrible.looked like 2 retards wailing at each other..but hey we have come along way.look at some clips of Jack Johnson and you will laugh at that as well
