      There is nothing factual about depth.

          Because you choose to remain blind does not mean there is no factual evidence. Of course it is all in books and you seem to have an aversion to books if there is no video to support it. Capaedia has given an excellent link which talks about it, you should read it..

            Cy Young had about 750 complete games. I'll be happy to blow my brains out if anyone ever even approaches that record.

But how would Sam Langford go in a fight with SpineOSaurus (for those of you who don't know,... Spineosaurus is the greatest land predator to ever roam the earth, it is the No. 1 Big Daddy of them all, bigger and better than the No. 2 Big Daddy, Giganotosaurus, which could DEVOUR the one time No. 1 but now No. 3,...... I ain't just a boxing fan !!!!!),.... well this mean bugger with the over a foot long claws and teeth.......... well Y'all get my drift, dont'cha,..... this one critter would slaughter every single HW in history in about an hour or so,............................................... ...........AND Mark this "Golden Age Bashers" ---- The Old Timers WERE SPINEOSAURUS !!!! to today's guys ( I still think a handfull or so of todays fighters could be great in most era's,... But only a handfull...................... Oops. I forgot to "lol"
                Spinosaurus was a fish eater, compare its thin jaw like that of a gharial to thats of a saltwater crocodile (T-rex) T-rex had the most powerful jaws ever & longest teeth plus its brain was twice the size of gigantosaurus so to be honest its T-rex >>>>>>> Spinosaurus & giganto

                  I hate to agree because I believe the depth of competition today is far inferior than what it used to be, but depth is not factual. If you are comparing the talents of boxers from different eras it is ALWAYS subjective, no matter how obviously true it may appear to be.

                    Giganotosaurus would have eaten T. Rex,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Rex is yesterdays HERO,...... T.Rex came tens of millions of tears after and it may have been evolved but I don't think it was no. 1, there is some doubt about T. Rex's capability,.... SPINO ??/ you must have watched different shows than me, it's hands were the best killing weapon ever on land, they tested the sickle claws and they could slice anything almost half in two, the claws could make a single cut of about 8 feet long,... And don't knock the Fish and sea creatures, they were more wicked than anything ever seen on the land. There is not a single land creature that could stand up to those Disembowelers,,.... there is a lot of conflicting opinions,.... One things for sure T. Rex was maybe the most DISGUSTING creature that ever lived, AND lt preferred to scavenge dead things,.. or steal a kill,..... and the thing must have stunk like a Giant skunk, but far worse,

                      BUT you are obviously a very smart guy, I am led to believe that GNTOSRS had longer teeth, it's head was quite a bit bigger. When more of the GIGO's are found (there's a lot of Rex's out there) I think some of the specimens will be truly awesome, every thing on that continent was Supersized, the Vegetarians were the biggest Sauropods ever, it stands to reason that unlike Rex who wanted to kill with one bite, these big buggers aren't gonna be killed quickly. The Gigo's teeth were like steak knives and 6 or 8 slasshes would be all it needs to bleed it's prey to death,........ Bigger prey equals bigger predator,. simple really.
