I've had this discussion a million times and I still disagree. Equipment and playing conditions have changed and advance to favor todays athletes in most sports. Boxing is no different. Less rounds, less fights, day before weigh ins, more divisions, more belts, better mouth pieces, heavier and better padded gloves, quicker stoppages. all these things make it easier for fighters today. It doesn't make them better.Comment

yeah lil boi. I might but when it comes to Pep I dnt count any records of sports, may it be boxing, tennis, basketball, baseball, bowling, or water polo before the civil rights movement. F**k all over-glorified white boys before 1960.Comment

But you only got to see the results to see they are better today the fights are available to see , Im not applying the ifs but the actuals , its not easier today its more F1 mentality which is actually harder , more explosive precision where as the old school is more work sergent mentality they trained hard not smart or scientific like they do today , if the old timers trained by todays standards they would have todays conditioning but in comparing them in a topic like this you must keep their style intact and in that I say the modern greats are better stylistic fighters better craftsmen .
As far as how styles match up.......that is a matter of opinion since we have no way to reasonably compare the two unless actually matched head to head.Comment
