..Byrd would beat them both...although he would never be considered as great as those 2, he has better wins on his resume.
I talked to my trainer years ok about old fighters and todays fighters he said that the top fighters of today r better than the regular fighters of yesterday but the great ones like Louis Robisonson Ali Armstrong ect. where years ahead of their time therefore they would do just as good now as they did then
Would have to disagree with the tread starter. I see Louis as the first proper heavyweight to come along who would hold his own in any era. I wouldn't say that about anybody before him.
Thanks!:good When the sane members are offline I try and do my best to keep the inmates from taking over the asylum.
yes, he or OR because of max who basically was boxing hitler at the time. i think he would get he's ass wooped against ali,fraizer,foreman,holmes,holy, tyson, lewis even vitaly and certainly i have forgotten a few. but americans are americans
your rating him against fighter who were not even thought of when he was fighting .. He was simply the best in his time, and he set the precedence and excellence for all HVWy after him ,, thats all you need to know ...
