        can would destroy them you would know this if you watched after 40s so you called yourself dumb i just watched Jake vs Eugene last night and looks just the same as Ezzard and rock as I described looks really slow very easy to read and sloopy and basic

          Okay, I disagree for two reasons. One, I’m not one of the people who thinks that everything necessarily gets better with time. Things can also devolve, and that includes the quality of sports. Two, you say he was 190, Wilder is not much heavier than that and is still knocking out most everyone fifty pounds heavier than him. Dempsey, Marciano, Johnson, and others very well could have successfully gained fifteen to twenty pounds and done the same to the heavyweights of today. Prime Mike Tyson was a tiny heavyweight and would have probably destroyed every heavyweight today. And as for “holding and circling”, some fighters may have a “boring” style and yet are skilled enough with that style to beat most anyone. Haney gets a lot of criticism on this forum for his fighting style, and yet no one has been able to beat him up to this point.

          So for these reasons, I strongly disagree with your logic.

            Also, don’t forget that the old fighters your thinking of didn’t have access in many cases to good nutrition and recovery methods that exist today. Had they fought now they would have likely been even greater due to access to modern medical treatments.

                  It sounds to me more like you have a bias issue of some sort than any sort of a clear or coherent argument.

                    To all the disrespectful numbskulls on here. I have changed my avatar, now you have to stare up at the face of the great Jack Johnson every time I post. Hahahahaha… no one will get away with disrespect the past as long as I’m here.

                      JACK JOHNSON would have ****ing DESTROYED most heavyweights from the 70s through today. Only Ali and Tyson and Lewis would have likely defeated him.
