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

Some say they fought so much back then and that why they're better as a result. But most black and white day footage hitting bags they don't look so good.
Plus I doubt they could be fighting great opponents so regularly as their careers might not last. Lots of bums on record

Yea shyt for brains, its really hard grasping the concept that a guy who fought in the 1920s @ 190 pounds with CLEARLY NO SKILL, would lose to a guy 240 pound C+ fighter who fought in the 90s.

There's not an athlete AN ANY SPORT who did something in the 1920s 30s or 40s, would would be legit in the 90s.

Jack Dempsey was fking horrible and so were his opponents.

Its not just the 90s its 70s and 80s to goes for tvs to no TV from 90s can compete with any hd TV same with any other outdated electronic so why these crazy trolls say boxers that outdated could is just that crazy

So Ryan Garcia bets the LW version of Hank Armstrong?

you idiots need to stop doing that it never made since your the same type of idiot that will say Douglas was trash off of name only and say how he beat mike boxing or no sport works that way off of name only when its a way people fight and style the name doesn't matter

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.

Its not nostalgic its crazy and odd and pretend to be blind

Yes, Dempsey would be too small for todays heavyweights, but he would be the top guy in whatever division he fought in today. Calling him no a no talent fighter who would get beat by an amateur middleweight just shows youre an idiot.

No it shows your a idiot you crazy person the man never would make pro in 70s-now he was way to sloopy and wild in his tech and missing stuff they had and have he would he destroyed so stop trolling anybody can see his tech was trash compared

Boxing is not only about skills. Heart, endurance, ability to adjust etc are traits that has to be considered.

Not to say that the fighters from back in the day were better but they did fight 15 rounds, same day weight ins, fought more frequently, etc.

The topic is only focusing on skill only the other stuff doesn't matter for the topic

That's fact they had to fight that much to pay the bills and those dudes were trash compared no wonder they could fight so much no way could these fighters from 70s until now fight back to back like that they would be in the hospital
