why do people automatically think fighters from old would beat modern day fighters?

[a-force]

fair enough, theres exceptions to this, but theres this consensus that "oh well so 'n so from the 60's would wipe the floor with the bums these days" its utter crap, the sport has developed over the years and so has the level of fighter. people only chose the old timers for nostalgic reasons and it pisses me right off.

Simple..same reason current fighters get no respect..no 1 recongnizes what you truley did till you step away from the sport...like the old saying goes"you dont appreiciate what you had till its gone"

Well, this is IMO.

Fighters nowadays are spoiled. They fight only 12 rounds, they have technoglogy and advanced gym equipment. Most dont have much heart or desire cause the world they live in is now spoiled. The only ones who have that true fire are ones who are born and raised in hard times aka ******s. Fighters back then fought 15 tough rounds. They literally trained in blood and sweat cause in order to make money they had to win. they didnt have the advance in technology as we do or the gy equipments or even the medicines we have today. its like there were a tough sculpted rock compared to the "just rocks" of fighters today. why you think the heavyweight division is **** nowadays? people are spoiled into easier things now to make money.
