F*** it, someone had to say it... Past Boxing Era OVERRATED!!

Dumb thread!

 

because without the knowledge, training of today,diet,fitness, footage to find other fighters weakness's/style they still went out there and did 15 rounds of masterclass and they took bigger hits with a body less trained than todays that take less punishment?

 

Imagine Ali trying to land a punch on Arreola, Chris would look like Sweat Pea in there, who himself would be KO'd in three rounds by the great Antonio DeMarco.

 

come on man you get guys like ortiz and mikey garcia quitting with broken bones back then they would fight with their eyes hanging out until they went down

im not saying todays fighters are pussys hell they would **** me up but compared to the past those guys were tough as nails

in a fantasy world give them the training of today ect and they would show just as much class facing todays fighters as they did in their era

 

The Pacman would definitely dominate Joe Louis.

 

look how slow Leonard is compared to modern day fighters with their supplements and modern training techniques. I doubt he could even beat Guerrero

Although i disagree with the tone of the thread and the way it has been made to provoke a negative reaction i cannot help but agree with the notion that too many people view past era's with rose tinted glasses, and that those people should perhaps start enjoying some of the talent we have on display today.

 

cool for being open to other opinions but these fighters of today were put in a gym most likely at 5/6/7/8 years old and given the right basics from that age to fight back then alot of fighters made their own way into the sport and only then improving when there was a coach with the knowledge to train their talent what im saying is todays fighters have all the head starts they need

im not saying todays fighters are not better because i really dont think you can compare

look at formula one the cars where dog**** in the 50's basically like driving buses where as today they are like rockets...you can have all the talent you want but can only work within the limits of that sport at the time like basketball methods equipment, better balls make alot of difference over a career...imagine a gym in the past eras compared to now targeting specific muscles, reactions, the list goes on

you only have to look at sprinting and how the times have fallen i dont think its humans that have evolved so much just methods to get the best out of a sportsman are so much better

 

Imagine if 70's heavyweights had the fitness, diet and access to the advanced training methods that Arreola has benefited from
