Humans today are more evolved than ones of SRR' era

[Benny Leonard]

3/4ths of the people on here never saw SRR fight....But its only obvious humans are more evolved now then they were back then

Or if they have I notice some have only seen him towards the tail end of his career which is why they like to bring up his losses

Agreed?
There was nobody as fast as Floyd Mayweather back then... Ray would be in all sorts of trouble against Money.

Your joking right? Humans have evolved in that short amount of time? More like certain fighters recognized that they have strengths and focused on making those strenghts even better....(Floyd's mittwork / routines are pretty dam good) but with time, effort and focus...i'm pretty sure anyone with decent speed can get that routine down......

Now Usain Bolt....he's a different story....

LOL, Robinson was faster than Mayweather, threw better combinations, hit harder, had a better chin not to mention a killer instinct. Wake up people, there's no comparison. Robinson was the best.

Evolution takes thousands even millions of years, Not 40. However, the sport has evolved. From training, nutrition, number of fights per year and recoup time, competition has risen etc... Athletes of every sport have gone through some sort of evolution process, not as humans but as athletes. Much has been learnt from sports stars of past. People emulate greatness.

Yeah, what he said...

[Davros?]

What about a guy like Floyd Patterson? he had amazingly fast hands for his size. When you watch Louis through those quick combos not many people could match his speed and that was from the 30's
