The argument that todays boxers are "more evolved"

[ShatteredGlass]

I think this argument is a load of old bollocks.

Take a look at this classic Ali fight.



And now compare that to one of the current Ring H/W champions best performances.



I don't want to bash Klitschko, but, who looks the better athlete of the two?

and just place a a top 3 ATG in with a klitschko, great way to win an argument

That's one example, but, I generally agree. I think boxers today, in general are less skilled. But, we do have a few current fighters who I think would do well in any eras. Can't say the same for Floyd Jr. though, I'm serious too. Yes, on paper, Floyd has every bit of skill and talent that some of the past great fighters had, maybe even more, but Floyd's lack of you know what is what's gonna get him killed.

Actually, forget that, Floyd would find a way to slither out of having to face the likes of Leonard, Duran, etc..

I'm not saying today's guys are less evolved.

I think they are the same evolved.
