Yesterdays athletes did not have access to today's training methods and nutrition, fact.
That does not mean that an old school boxer could not compete today.
who would his trainer be today? would he be on his old school methods with today's advances at his disposal?
What exactly are you trying to argue here?
if you were great then you would be great in any era. those who understood the science then would understand it in 2050.
Those who had heart then, would have the heart of a lion today and tommorrow. These things are not exclusive to our generation.
Ali was a mastermind, a pioneer.
boxer's today can take what he brought to boxing and apply it and yes, bring it to new levels, perfect it. but Ali was still the creator, and inventor of his styles. Boxing has come along way just as all the other sports as we evolve into faster and stronger human beings. But to say that a great boxer of yesterday could not compete with a modern boxer is foolish.
that's any great fighter from yesterday. Let alone legends like Ali. People like Ali and Jordan or Joe Montana only come around every few decades or more. They are not ordinary athletes they are something more.
A class aside if you will.
