    You could post 101 photos and even change your first name to Barney. You wouldn't know old school from squat. Aren't you the clown that said Shane Mosley's lightweight run craps on Azumah Nelson's career? Even Elie Sechbach laughed when he heard that. You're a ****ing joke.

          I think you should contact leading researchers in the field. You've stumbled across something quite significant here.
          Species apparently evolve noticeably within years, not hundreds of thousands as previously thought.

          If athletes are better today than in the 50s it has NOTHING to do with gene evolution. It's about better techniques/approach in training, steroids and nutrition.

          How does training differ from previous eras as it comes to boxing? How does Floyd Mayweather eat differently from Duran?
          Because i could see many reasons for past eras fighters being better. Noticeably the sport attracting MORE and BETTER athletes than today and the fact that the competitive standards were higher. Iron sharpens iron etc.

                You know what's amazing? How many times have you seen an old fighter take a youngin to school only to have his age fail him? Who remembers how much trouble Evander Holyfield had with Larry Holmes? And realizing (seeing an old HW king versus a new one) that the old HW king had skills fighters could only dream of? The difference today isn't in the skill. It's in the athleticism.

                  If you actually watch Pac vs Marquez 3 in b&w you'll see Pac easily won that fight.

                    LOL I think we're talking to Larry's son.

                    But I'm sure father and son are at the same wavelength anyways, with the father trying to catch up with the kid, so it's all good.

                      it would be interesting to see how past greats would be in this era where sports and science and medicine are all intertwined
