You do have a few exceptions that could actually fight like Gene Tunney for example but most of these B&W ATGs are so overrated if they was around today they would even get a job holding a spitbucket.
Way to skip over the parts where I say I've made this argument dozens of times and that they have beaten fighters who do what Floyd and Manny do just as well as them.
Take Brandon Rios without him cutting weight & bung him in with todays middleweights, record it in B&W and you have a true ATG, the second coming of Jake LaMotta.

yes,yes now gene tunney had skills and was very technical
Alot of the oldies are overrated....especially the heavyweights pre-Louis Era.....before 1930 the techniques and style of boxing went through alot of changes....Less clinching, more infighting, less brawling, more footwork head movement, better use of the jab and counters...some were ahead of their time though like Benny Leonard, Canzoneri, Kid Chocolate, and Gene Tunney....
People do underrate most fighters after 1980....Like Hopkins who'd definitely beat Tony Zale, LaMotta, etc...Floyd Mayweather would beat most the guys people put above him...same goes with Pacquaio
