        You can give respect to the OGs without being deluded about their capabilities in the ring.

        Heard of the phrase "standing on the shoulders of giants"?

        Newton and Leibniz invented calculus, yet the average high school graduate today is taught more than they ever knew.

        This will make you upset: Tyson would have KO'd Ali inside 3 rounds.
        I guess Pythagoras and Archimedes couldn't even teach first grade math today.

            So you admit they were inferior boxers? Because that is precisely the topic of discussion.

            The "they were so much tougher back in the day" rhetoric is cringeworthy, regardless of its veracity, which I am skeptical of.

              That phrase is a lie to how were they tougher i know for a fact if they had to face people from the 70s-90s who hit with way better tech they would be destroyed

                Todays "supps" and training methods are head and shoulders above those from the past. But as i pointed out, most of todays fighters are pansies compared to yesteryear. Thats not debatable. These entitled diva fighters dont have the heart or drive of the OGs.

                  Cherrypicking a few hard men from prior eras that come to mind is nothing more than a confirmation bias.

                  Modern fighters have their styles constantly scrutinised for weaknesses on film while needing to overcome far more athletically and technically advanced opponents than those of yesteryear.

                  Surely that requires vast amounts more toughness than rocking up to a club show to beat the brakes off some part-time liquor store worker who has no formal boxing education or pedigree?

                      So many fighters from before the days of cameras have essentially become tall tale heroes.

                      The ONLY reason fighters like Harry Greb are held in such high regard is because there's no footage of them, so we just have to take people's word on how good they were.
