    Can you imagine 45 old Kownacki winning a world title?

    No, you can`t. But it happened in 90s. Kownacki = old Foreman.

      All I know is Fury/Wilder/Joshua would not be holding titles in either the 70’s or 90’s. They’d be second tier at best. Fury would have the best chance due to his boxing and mental game but he’d get his fat body worked & punched to pieces by Shavers/Foreman/Vander/Tyson/Bowe/Mercer/Frazier/Holmes. Forget Lewis & Ali who make him their butler.

        But you people say Usyk can`t beat Joshua or Fury because he is too small, even though he has elite skills.

        Hoy could even smaller men from the past do that?

            But head to head matchups 90s guys would win more

                Im not one of these guys that let nostalgia get in the way of common sense.
                As I said Lewis resume is the best heavyweight of his era and would be a difficult fight for Ali.
                I love Ali and he was great but that was a different era and things evolve
                Why do you people always say nostalgia its called crazy anybody with good vision can see the 90s had way more advanced skills and were more heavy only crazy idiots pick a outdated era over more advanced

I just feel like there was a significant evolution between the 70s and the 90s when it came to s&c stuff and well....PEDs. The 90s crew match up well in terms of raw physical attributes with the current crop, but they were also in the same ballpark of actual boxing skills as the 70s guys.
                  Wrong liar the 70s wasn't close to 90s skills you need to watch matches anybody with good vision can see 90s had way more skills

                    usyk was the same size as Larry holmes back in the early 80’s which kinda shows you he is as good or even better than them....usyk would play with foreman and people need to start understanding just how good this kid is.......he’s a nightmare for anybody
