      So since Wlad and Ali both fought fatasses, do they both suck?
      And since Wlad fought guys with physiques that didn't even exist in the 1970s like Haye, does that make him the best?

      Endless, pointless circle with this guy.
      Difference is I have never claimed "evolution" has made the "modern" game better. Quite frankly, to think that the human species would evolvle dramatically over a period of 40 years is easily one of the most far-fetched things I've ever heard.

      Another difference is that guys like Foreman, Lyle, Norton, Liston, Shavers, Williams, Folley and all the other top contenders Ali fought and beat, were all in top condition and looked like brick houses.

      Am I dis*****g that there was a dud in amongst these guys? Absolutely not. But today's heavyweight contenders look like they eat fastfood when in training - yet you still want to pass them off as being better than they were in the past. Which they simply aren't.

        You forgot to add "Lacedup is a tea drinking sissy" option. Actually wait, that's not necessary because we already that's the case.

        So

          I don't even talk about Haye no more. Couldn't care less about a retired fighter.

          You seem to talk about him all the time though.

            I'm pretty sure when people say athletes have "evolved" siince the '70s they're talking about scientific training and nutrition, not Darwin's theory of evolution.

            Jesus man, anything else you need help with?

                Look how this poor guy is getting his ass handed to him in his own silly thread. My oh my

                He is getting cornered completely and still tries to just laugh it off! He must be sweating like a swine behind his screen right now. Pathetic


                Almost as bad as LacedUps tattoo

                Why didn't LU get this tattooed on him?

                  They most certainly are not.

                  And if they did, why are they referring to the actual size of the people fighting today? Even though that theory has been well and truly shot down as well.

                  Also, when looking at today's average contender - what has "scientific training and nutrition" done for them?

                      This is the cycle we go through. You call modern fighters fat, slow, pathetic, I say that's really not the case, you in turn accuse me of "slandering the legends of the sport", right? Because if I refuse to pretend modern fighters all suck, that's equivalent to peeing on Frazier's grave in your mind.

                      It boils down to you having some sort of non-boxing objection to Wladimir. Why else would you pretend this league of morbidly obese untrained loser heavyweights exists when it doesn't outside of 1 or 2 guys?

                      Interestingly, even though modern heavyweights have an obvious advantage in physique, I'm not the one who keeps bringing it up, you are.
                      50 pounds of extra muscles are not an advantage in boxing, rather the contrary. It is not a body building contest, I think Wladimir himself said so in one occasion.

                      As for "modern heavyweights" , I personally don't care much about their looks, if only they could fight.

                      Pianeta might look better than Frazier , he's a cuter guy, I'll give you that, but he'd get demolished in a boxing ring.

                      Back to topic.
                      They are pretty much the same imo , both act respectfully although they can be rather ****y sometimes.
                      Wlad is probably the better actor, in his face off with Haye he really looked homicidal.
