Why Are Older Boxers Over-Rated?

[Manboyeatme]

Really? Have you watched Ali or Louis compared to todays heavies? Armstrong ot Ross compared to todays welters? Diran or Benny Leonard compared to todays lightweights? I can go on and on.

I dont understand the counter argument here.. I said more punches in more rounds!!! thats impossible!!!

Thats the thing man its not a even playing field to the old guys because they didnt have the technology. Human beings have not changed since.. just science and that is why athletes today are superior sorry to break the news to you.

Hate to break it to you, but that doesn't make the person better, only his circumstances.

Its a crappy post because it doesn't take into consideration field improvements, advances in equipment or PED's. None of which make any athlete better on an even playing field.

of course it makes them a better athlete.

If you matched up a special forces soldier from 1960 vs a special forces soldier today, who has the advantage?

its the special forces in today's time. they have advancement in weaponry & strategy.

Our athletes advantage is our better training, better equipment, better fields etc...

jab, you cant have it both ways. You cant say older is better then use the reason well if we had today's equipment training,

YOU DONT. OLD ATHLETES DONT.

THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE. THAT'S THE ARGUMENT.

Its impossible to throw a higher average of punches over more rounds? Lol, do you even watch boxing?

Active fighters are even more overrated - for instance, Pacquiao's record is rife with shot Mexicans, steroid abusers, cheaters, payed off Africans, fighters on the slide and an accumulation of paper titles along the way to his fictitious '8 division titles', but you often read his name being thrown around with the likes of Armstrong or Hagler.

Disgraceful, is the word to describe it.

First post.....

hahahahahaha

Where exactly is the better training? Fighters fought longer, more often and more rounds in earlier era's. They did it with less weight classes,less titles and inferior equipment. Where is the better training?
