"Now, give the fighter from the 50's all todays training methods, boxing knowledge and styles gathered over the years, advanced diet and conditioning knowledge etc. etc. and then it would be a different story of course"..............
today's training methods............tell me about the methods of today compared to then.
boxing knowledge? their were more styles utilized in the 40's & 50's than there is now. Dozens of fighters fought out of the Philly shell long before Mayweather.
The thought that the fighters and trainers are more versed today compared to someone like Mr. Blackburn is a joke!
Todays boxing is an off shoot from the 70's amateur boxing era. No one fights inside, no one follows up on combination punching and no one has a powered two hand attack.
You can take Sugar Ray Robinson out of the 40's & fifties and would be the welter & middle champ just as he was then. He also had Maxim beat at light heavy and you can't tell me that Koval beats him, he would stop Koval.
learn the history of the men who were true ATG's especially the true TBE p4p King.
