Have boxing skills progressed, or have they regressed?

It is not your place to make a judgment about whether you will “tolerate” another persons opinions.

The whole point of having a forum is that some people will hold radically different opinions to you.

 

One thing that there can be absolutely no doubt about, is that Louis would go after the heavyweight title if he were around today. His mentality as a fighter as much as his ability was one in a million.

The best way to visualise what Louis was in modern terms, would be to imagine a former cruiserweight with the all round punching arsenal and mentality of Evander Holyfield, but with the power of David Haye. Such a beast would have been able to dismantle Riddick Bowe, and would very likely have turned the trick against Lewis.

When a fighter has that kind of destructive ability, being big just makes you a bigger target.

 

Joe Louis...I watched a wee fat guy called tony galento knock Louis down. Now this wee fat guy looked like Danny divito.

So you honestly think Danny divito could take on lennox....
Clown

 

That wee fat guy probably punched harder than Hasim Rahman.

Just puting nit out there...............

 

Imagine what butterbeen would do to Louis

 

Drown him in his blood?

Prime Ali???....i don't believe he'd win but maybe if he hat been fed properly from birth he would have been a few inches taleer and heavier and stronger..

MW: I used them for arguments sake..I think the 3 mentioned would be the best at mw-lhw..

As for Floyd..i think he's the goat in terms of skill and technical ability.
Do you not think Floyd has learned from past fighters? Obviously he has..he's also been trained by people who fought the best...
:bbb
Calzaghe...his father wasn't a boxer but learned from past fighters and installed it in joe..




Don't want to talk about LMW or WW cause we all know Hearns destroys every1
