Are Boxers Today Punching Much Harder Than Past?

[Lenharvey]

PEDs. Nutrition. Natural supplements. Better training techniques. Every other sport has improved. Full time jobs. /THREAD

NO! Fighters today have AWFUL Fundamentals especially Defensively

A lot of guys just don't move their F^cking Head anymore

****ing thread over. Y'all just kicking a dead horse after this post.

Man, people were dying. Have you seen Griffith - Paret 3 from 1962? This is dangerous sport, it always was, so I don`t understand the thread.

We can disagree because there’s no definitive measurement for boxing

But across the board in the sporting world, facts are on my side that athletes are way better.

Fury out of condition ? Yet never gassed like other fighters do. You fall in to the trap of looking at bodies.

Even when he fought Wlad, Wlad was exhausted at the end and Fury was singing Aerosmith lol

You sound like a real casual to be honest. No wonder your date of registering was about the same time as AJ’s rise in popularity

Those two dudes are so low IQ. They took ONE example and used it to generalize and entire generation of athletes 😂😂😂😂😂

Checkmate they say! Lmfaooo

Yes... they do hit harder.

Better nutrition, training, sports science, medical technology, etc.

We're creating an army of super athletes and breaking records in all sports.

Wrong

You’re born with power it’s not something you can pick up yes you can improve punching technique etc but power you can’t.

If that was the case guys like Maliganni would have “ improved” in the power department years ago.

It was a blanket question, are boxers punching harder, are tennis players serving faster on average, has the speed of baseball increased are they hitting the ball further, are they kicking a ball further, are swimmers clocking faster times on average, a people running faster on average.

Off course they are, the key is on average, you will always have the very elite that wont change much over many generations, but the rest of the group will continue to rise with better teaching nutrition and scientific training.

As for boxing the "average" across them all will punch harder faster are more explosive and have better technique , a great puncher today will be no different to a great puncher many years ago, but I bet over a 1000 fighters from then to a 1000 now the average is better everywhere.

This post is the TRUTH

I believe that current fighters have lower bone density.
Humanity is devolving in my opinion.

Youre right in bone density is lessoning in the modern human, the cause is less activity, it will apply to a general population of couch lizards but not athletes.

With dogs I can raise two brothers and feed them different and give one hard work the other none, the bone density will be different in both dogs.

The average being less today is not genetics, its life style.

Im right into all this stuff Ive bred performance dogs for 50 yrs.

yet people are growing taller all over the world.

Greater mass does not necessarily imply greater density.
