Are all modern fighters bigger?

[Danieltapia]

People give too much credit to evolution and not enough to what's created in some laboratory. Sports science's greatest achievement is not some super athlete. It is performance enhancing drugs and a way to avoid it's detection.
Therein lays the bigger more advanced modern athlete. All else is denial.

Who is struggling?

half the fighters out there....... I have said everything I wanted to say already, this subject is boring, there are two camps when it comes to this question, those that think the old timers were better and those who think todays fighters are better without a single shred of real evidence to back them up.

Yes which isn't natural and which makes virtually everybody at the top level CHEATS, I do not have any tolerance for anyone who would cheat by using performance enhancing drugs (which by the way NEVER, EVER improve skills), this is a sport where athletes die so anyone fighting today under drugs when their opponent dies IS A MURDERER. It wasn't always murder, yes it was always tragic but to think some guys will get on roids and other garbage in a sport where people get badly hurt is way beyond a disgrace... they should be locked up in fact.

[McGoorty]

Yeah, which brings up a very important point too...

The entire reason that the cruiser division was developed was to PROTECT the smaller fighters from the ever growing size of the boxers in the unlimited division.

It was NOT to isolate the "fatties" who couldn't be bothered bloody training! LOL

As an intersting aside, the nut bags like yourself took a hard whack on the chin after your discovery that HW boxing partricipation was at a historical high (which is obvious to all non-nut-bags)..

But what most don't consider is that when comparing to pre-professional times, it's even WORSE for the nut bags because to assess participation fairly you'd have to compare past-eras heavyweight to modern eras heavy AND cruiser combined! As they were then the same!

The nut bag community, from Loaded Wraps, to Billeau to Anthony and many many more, have sunk to an all time low lately.

To quote a few of the most intelligent men to ever live with my own little twist...


It is almost as if the nut bag community has suffered some self-inflicting brain surgery, lobotomising itself... Elroy and Carl Sagan.

The nut bag mythology, is one of the most persistent and powerful myths ever devised, and it serves as the soil from which other myths can flourish... Elroy and Peter Joseph.

LOL

Oh you really have lost the plot.... calling everyone with a different opinion nut jobs just makes you look like an idiot and a troll then you come out and talk about when boxing was Pre- Professional.... so when was that exactly ??.. LOL, Boxing has been professional since Bob Fitzsimmons was a boy, hell Jim Figg made a LOT of money and that was way back in 1707 -the 1720's...... so when are you talking about ???? the days of King James the First ?

[McGoorty]

Well if that's not the pot calling the kettle black. Sounds like you're a member of the douchebag community. Say hi to Sonny for us while you're there.

This Elroy is a ****tard mate, I never heard of this troll before but yeah he is certainly a member of the douchebag community and he should also say hi to that SCrotansjabby dude or whatever the **** his name was.

Boxing became a professional sport circa 1980's.

Prior to that time, it's athletes had not applied any science to their sport or it's conditioning.

Punch-baggery was rife, with boxers unable to properly defend themselves.

And conditioning was pathetic, these guys sometimes didn't even train full time!

Post 1980's the sport began to look radically different. Before that time it was basically unwatchable.

For an insight, watch the HBO program online for Spinks vs Holmes 1, a very interesting look.

Greater talent pool?

Just STOP. You absolute idiot!

What's wrong with that??

You are a bloody idiot, you are talking a load of crap and basically lying or you actuaally believe what crap you say. Boxing has always been professional, you don't even understand the definition of the word profssional..... did boxers get paid good money before the 80's or not ? yes they did. Then you try and suggest old time trainers didn't know how to teach guys how to fight and the fighters couldn't fight, hell they knew more back then than we do now..... now toddle off you are boring me............. zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

If you cant name any ,you are simply not really watching the fights and really giving uneducated opinions on the topic .
