Jack Johnson couldnt win today.

[Roadblock]

No way could he win a HW title, I think a lot of the 6 rd HWs with some potential would beat the sht out of him, he actually reminds me of Connors boxing for some reason maybe the weird foot work or something do know what it its.

Ive seen guys saying Jack would beat Ali , no fkn way , to me looking at Johnson shows how far boxing has come.

[CasperUK]

That robocop style would see him get smashed very quickly.

[W1LL]

Yea bro, but he 100+ years old, so he gets an automatic pass. He'd smash anyone today Cruiser and Heavy, take them 53 rounds into deep water, running in military boots and chit, didn't need any "modern science"!

[Earl-Hickey]

People love getting their rose tinted glasses out.

You see casuals saying Tyson could beat Joshua, Wilder, Fury in one round or even that he could beat them TODAY.

same level of ridiculous to the crew saying Johnson or Dempsey would be champ today

These guys wouldn't beat a Usyk who was observing the cruiserweight limit, in fact they'd get stood on their heads.

These modern heavyweights could not fight 15 rounds. They can barely fight for 6.

Which would be far less rounds needed to knock the old timers clean out....

That's cool because Jack Johnson wouldn't last 3

It’s very hard to compare eras when they are so far apart, but Jack Johnson with modern day facilities, supplements, diet, training and techniques would likely do very well. He would likely be fighting at Light Heavyweight though.

He wouldn’t beat Ali...

Good point.

Even roided up some of these guys gas after 4 rounds.

[KingOfGlory]

Of course. All sports evolve and the talent becomes better as time goes on. Only in boxing does globalizing a sport make it less competitive according to those blinded by nostalgia.

Saying Ali would beat the heavyweights of the 2010's is just as ridiculous as saying Gene Tunney would beat the heavyweights of the 1970's.
