    that depends how far back u go. guys like dempsey, jack johnson, langford, greb, benny leonard, joe gans etc.. all greats in their time but if they acctually fought modern fighters they would lose badly imo.

    but a guy like ray leonard who fought in the 80's? hell no. fighters today dont hold any advantages over fighters back then, or infact they do.. but its the wrong type of advantage that only makes them softer rather than better.

    leonard is better than both mayweather and pacquiao, so is hearns, benitez, hagler, duran, mccallum and some other fighters from that era. then again that was the best era for those weights, and not the best weight for floyd and pac. but still.
    fighters of today have a size advantage being that they dont do same day weigh ins anymore

      They might've layed foundations for the boxers but what I'm saying is boxers have took it to another level.

        Nothing compared to the "black murderers row". If Ray Robinson side swiped them, what does that tell you?

        I doubt any one of them had knock out power, so what was the reason then?

        What I've seen in that video easily matches up to modern day technicians

        You say they just laid the foundations, but I believe they had already mastered the sweet science.
