    I think what has changed is the size of the opponents now, the most dominant hws recently have been 6'5"+ and 240lbs, I think america has only really produced one exceptional boxer this size, riddick bowe.

    your list proves my point a useless lot! Man, top 50 cab you name 50 fulltime fighters today? the 23-4 "boxers" (a term i use lightly) all of which would eat up and spit out in anytime frame . . . skilless and/or talentless bums (except for the bros and Adamek . . . who has great potential)

    Jack johnson era ****? with Johnson and Langford alone more double the skill and talent of the top 10 of this garbage era!

    are you actually suggesting a 5'6" 185lb boxer who started boxing at lightweight from 100 years ago would be capable of beating a top modern heavyweight?

    Fact is that the Johnson era was not that bad . . . two ATG (real ATG) in the same era! cannot be that weak

    the klitschkos will, sam langford is an ATG but only because he was boxing in a time when heavyweights were a lot worse than they are now.
    Do you think sam langford would beat the top heavyweights of today?

    Johnsons technique was abysmal, if he fought for a title today no doubt 90% of this board would call him one of the worst title challengers ever.

    Even here against a semi pro farmer he looks like ****, and people think that was a golden era?

    :rofl


    Here is his biggest montage video out there.

    Imagine the abuse someone like even Haye would get for fighting someone this poor, nevermind a title holder.

    if you really think that is true, there is no sense in talking to you because you do not know **** about boxing! Sam is rank by many as top 5 ATG and you think the bros will reach that status . . . . hahahahaha

    HAHAHAH, JJ was known to be one of the great defensive fighters of all time and one of te best technitions ever . . . Manning get the **** out of here with you BS! its impossible to tell from those crappy grainy videos.

    what is crystal clear is "the man" of this era can dominate with a basic 1-2 . . . pathetic.
