Pac would destroy Henry Armstrong and Harry Greb

Haven't you heard?

Boxers actually jump rope, hit the heavy bag, and run now.

And they have good diets now too. Consisting of Vegetables and ****!!

New boxers>Old boxers.....Just because!

I get it that in some sports athletes are bigger and strong now. And, you know what that could hold true in boxing for maybe the HW division(not really) but I will give people that division.

However, for WW's. if both fighters weigh 147 naturally, how is one bigger and stronger than the other?

stop nut hugging old fighters. yeah they were amazing and were very good back in the days. every records in every record books were broken because athletes get better. everyone get stronger and faster. you are ****** if u guys dont believe it. the proof were EVERYWHERE. FACTS

[FerdinandMarcos]

Fighters today, hit harder,move faster,have better nutrition,Access to better training.All around fighters today are better than the fighters of the past.To dispute this is pretty ******.I'm not going to hold fighters from the past to a unfair high standard that can never be passed,when its pretty obvious they don't move as fast or hit as hard as fighters today.Its like comparing a model t to a corvette.

roy jones jr in his prime would destroy robinson.

Typical ignorant *******.

another idiot who think only boxing is the only sport that athletes never improved. but all others are...you still think armstrong and greb were faster and stronger than Pac? Pac annihilate those guys. i dont care if they can box..Pac annihilate every boxers that can box..

It was actually a good read , but I think he neglects the biggest issue that will always undermine Manny , he did not win his biggest wins fairly they were made to order ,,, the people that rate Pac so highly are only rating the on paper accomplishments , they are not looking at the fights and paper titles involved .

Forget Pacquiao I'am just talking in general.

Pac would get murdered by a prime De La Hoya and a prime Mosley... But who's greater? Same here. I think Pac would beat Pep too, but who's greater?

Simple answer;

They aren't.

I admit I was being ignorant at times in this thread and I apologize. But come on now its ridiculous to think the game hasnt changed.

Barry McGuigan is full of ****. You're telling me training and fighters had evolved from the Ken Buchanan days(lets say the 70's) to the McGuigan days(80's)? Really a lot had changed from those 2 decades? Did the same happen from the 90's to now? Do fighters now don't run as fast or go as hard in training as they did back in the 90s?

Look at this link.

You know boxing as much as you know women....and that ain't ****.

Armstrong could fight on the inside and didn't need catchweights.

He was also HARDER TO HIT than Pac.

Manny success is due to 2 things:

1.Careful matchmaking.
2.Public ignorance of boxing.
