Will people ever STOP OVERRATING old primitive era boxers with little skill?

While there are past greats, I agree that most of it is just nostalgic BS. The best of today are better than the best of the past, and that applies to pretty much all sports.

Fighters of today are absolutely more skilled but its because of the fighters in the past and the advancement in nutrition, and health.

Those guys crawled so that today's fighters could run so to speak, so you have to give past fighters respect.

So Deontay Wilder would KO Ali like he was Audley Harrison?

The reason American boxing trainers are better than the British ones is because of the techniques and methods passed down from the old days.

Hell, Floyd Mayweather Jr's defense was taught to him by his dad...who learned it in the 1960s from a coach who was 70 years old at the time.

In boxing the old school is the best school. We had true masters back then.

Just because that might apply to the Romans doesn't mean it applies to everything.

What new boxing technique has been invented since the old days? New age fans creamed their pants over Golovkin doing "shifting" but that has been around forever.

Look up the Fitzsimmons Shift. Or Dempsey's double shift.

Tyson Fury would outbox and KO Ali.

Hopefully easier than he did Cunningham or Wallin

A 38 year old washed up version. So yes, fury would also beat that version of Ali too as well as povetkin.
