What fighters today would be able to last in the bare knuckle days?

[bare knuckle]

The ones i think are kind of old school themselves, James Toney,Evander Holyfield. Today's fighters are rather soft and most can't even go 12 damn rounds.Now back in the day you had to fight until someone was knocked out or quit and there were no gloves.

larry

go to bed

if you arent larry:

if you put pioneer type boxers (lets say pre jack johnson,) in with more modern fighters they'd get the trash kicked out of them

I don't think any fighter alive today could last with a guy who fought in B&W.

You also have to take into consideration that they wore leggings & fought on grass embankments which automatically makes them an ATG & a HOFer

But what if they had no gloves on,that is the question

They had no air condition,no color on the tv,no gloves and no endorsements.they fought for milk money they should be appreciated for the true warriors they are.

I actually think Prince Naseem was this bare knuckle boxer in another life..

I'll bite;
Hopkins
Marquez
Guererro
Chisora
Margarito

That's not a favorites list, just a few guys I think are gritty enough to do it.
