Fighters of the past like Hearns and Leonard didn't really master the art of angles and in and out movements like modern fighters like Jones or Mayweather or Pacquiao. So I would say that some fighters of today would outbox fighters of the past due to the natural evolution of the sport and fighters having more tricks up their sleeves and utilizing angles and footwork to create distance deception in order to control range, compared to older fighters who had to set up punches by other punches. Also fighters of today are more athletic which helps a lot if u r a boxer.

You're on a different planet.

Finally, i was waiting for some casual to bring that up.

He wasnt outboxed, he got tired and was knocked out. Losing =/= outboxed.

I'm not a casual. Buster managed to do what no one else could and that was keep Tyson at bay most of the night until the uppercut. Tyson was tired because he got beat up and that stiff jab and combinations cracked him all night. So no losing does not mean out boxed but in this case it did.

You can add Lara to that list.

hell no, sloppy runner that barely sc****s by opponents. dude is basically miguel vazquez with power. his "skills" are overrated around here.

Both Klitchko's are the hardest to outbox compared with any era or weight class, although they did utilise height and weight advantage over their opponents as well as skill and athleticism.

Nobody really even compares including Lennox Lewis and Tyson who although dominant, still found some difficulties at times.

Either Klitschko was barely lost a round in their entire careers!

Ismail is right..

Today's fighters are completely superior to Hearns and co with regard to skills.

No boxer prior to the 80's could even box properly as we would today describe it.

Look at Ali, he got his head boxed off all the time even by absolute bums!

Untrue. I distinctly recall him being outboxed a fat dude until he finally caught him mid fight and knocked him out. I think his name was Mathis. I'll see if I can look it up

You might be thinking of francis botha

I wasn't. However Botha is another case in point. I just recall Mathis much more because my disbelief of how bad tyson looked.
