Modern day boxers are standing on the shoulders of giants. Slating old school fighters for not being as strong, fit or technically proficient rather misses the point.
It's like claiming that Jesse Owens ain't **** 'cause he never ran as fast as Olusoji Fasuba or that Roger Bannister's a punk 'cause plenty of people have run a sub four minute mile.
