im sorry but pacquiao would wipe the floor with henry armstrong...

[KILLA RIGHT]

I think alot of fighters today would beat alot of old school fighters. Nostalgia for whatever reason trumps any arguement to some.

Alot of it due to the advantages of fighters having new training methods, techniques that were developed over the course of many years.

This goes for other sports as well, football, baseball, basketball, etc.

If the same fighter were born in the same era as the athletes of today that'd be another story.

I think this is true in most sports and even boxing. But out of all sports i think boxers from back then compare more to todays fighters better then basketball players,football players but certain athletes can compare to any era

NO THEY DONT..

THE ****ty position, defence and attack of the old school boxer leaves him open to ALOTTTTTT.



old school was bull****... the comparison is CLEAR

Eg, Usain Bolt, if you notice over the many years the record has been broken through new technology, diets, supllements, and "modern" training techniques.

sorry that doesnt work for boxing because of weight classes....usain bolt runs 9 seconds not 12 rounds...guys like willie pep and ray robinson would still be fast today....

and joe louis knocked out a ****in 6'7 280lb man so how the hell would wlad destroy him with just his size....

also someone "modern" with lateral movement would EASILY keep the old school boxer off balance, someone like Hatton digging body punches then switching angles...

see my point?

[$partacus]

youtube some armstrong fights, do yall seriously think he beats manpac? or are you saying he cleaned up divisions unlike manny.....thats a fair point, but no way in hell he would beat manny....all he does is the same thing moves forward and never jabs and bends down and pushes you rinse and repeat....it would be a tough fight but pac would drop him in the 8th....plus no one mentions armstrong lost 2 times at 126 to a guy named arizmandi he beat later one time.....

****** thread, the longer something is around the better it gets. It's like comparing a 1940's car to modern day one.

Henry would laugh at manny's punches. Compare gloves and rounds then also. We can argue all day about todays era vs back in the day's. But when your 60 you will tell your kids it was better back in the early 2000's and your kid will laugh at u. This trend will go on forever

im comparing something which is measurable.. Usain Bolt proves that technology and modern day techniques WIN hands down.

as for Joe Lois, i cant comment as i dont know the LEVEL of the giant you speak of.. what was his record?
