The top 3 most important changes in 20th century boxing?

[SBleeder]

For those who want to "separate the champions from the contenders" , why not make a 1 15 or 24 minutes round , or something like that , without a break (closer to a real fight) to really separate the fighters from the runners ?

Top 3 changes.

1. Boxing has gone global. Aint no Pac or Klitschko's back at the turn of the century.

2. Video tape and science has allowed boxers and trainers to study proper technique. you would be shocked to learn how much technique has been studied in other sports where youd think "not much has changed". Michael Phelps in a surfboard bathing suit broke the 1960 world record in every event...in one afternoon. Video tape and scietific tests have allowed trainers to see what punch is hardest, what stroke pulls more water, how to lower your hittable range etc...

3. Proper diet, nutrition, training not based on old wives tales, the ability to get surgery and not just you leg amputated etc... Medical science has allowed for healthier fighters. Vitali Klitschko tears a rotator cuff in 1930, he leaves the sport after the Byrd fight. Today he just gets a simple surgery etc...
