Roy Jones JR: Manny at least top 3 or 4 on GOAT LIST

[qwerty07]

jrosales13 are you saying Athletes today aren't AT LEAST physically bigger and stronger than athletes of 50 years ago? If so, you're ****ing ****** and need to get into a science class.

That is cool I said I give you HW. But, not from Flyweight to LHW.

Think about this 100 years ago Jimmy Wilde weight 100 pounds he KO'd 20 guys who weigh over 200 pounds. Do you think somebody like Roman Gonzalez could KO guys that weeigh over 200 pounds?

Because those ****ing guys ******.

Every professional today is at least a decent boxer, there are so many people vying to be pro athletes today that only the best of the best get up there. And I'm not just talking about boxing, I'm talking about all sports. 50-100 years ago, anyone off the street could get a match with SRR!

I am saying fighters from Flyweight to LHW are not physically bigger not would I say that they're stronger either. I give you HW's. I give you football and basketball players. But, not boxers from Flyweight to Light Heavyweight.

You name any top 10 guys from all the weight classes he fought in.

For welterweight, pac, may cotto, marg, clottey etc would all beat SRR

Middleweight, williams, martinez, pavlik, etc would all beat SRR


Now, what makes SRR greater than them is that he was GREAT is his era. Are those guys great in their era. You decide.

I'll say one thing, I've always thought it was ****** to compare fighters of different eras because everything is so different. Why are they different? Look at my earlier post.

You should be shot for this.

Like I already said, they can fit more muscle mass into a smaller frame, cut fat all the way to the body minimum. Overdevelop fast-twitch fibers which attribute to speed, agility, and quickness. Learn from trainers with 50 years of experience, etc.

And all these things are possible because of advances in NUTRITION, TECHNOLOGY, AND TECHNIQUE.

Don't be an idiot. If you want to talk about era's then in the 80's you could put Holyfield, JCC, and Whitaker to the list I already have. Neither MAB, DLH, EM or JMM are as Salvador not as skilled and not as great as Salvador. Neither one of them is as great as JCC either.

Neither is Cotto is as skilled or as great as Wilfredo Gomez or Wilfredo Benitez.

Hopkins is not as great as Marvin Hagler. Maybe not even as skilled. A fight between them could of been a war that would of went either way.

Hatton? hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha GTFOH I shutter to think what Aaron Pryor would of done to Hatton at 140.

Mosley not as skilled or as great as Alexis Arguello nor even as great as Hearns

Pac would not hang with Duran,

Leonard>Floyd at WW.

Barbados Joe Walcott 5'2 147 pounds P-Will 6'1 147 pounds.

So since Walcott has the smaller frame he fit more muscle mass then P-Will?

So a whole bunch of people on this board thinks boxing is the only stagnant sports where nothing ever changes. They think fighters from 30, 40, 50 years ago can compete with fighters today who not only are bigger and stronger, but have experienced trainers, nutritionist, consultants, advisers so that all the fighter has to worry about is the actual fighting.

These people have stayed in boxing forums too long.
