    Nothing personal. You just falls between the chairs. I havent put you on ignore and I dont consider you to be a psycho either.

    I just want to discuss with thinking people on this board. It drains the energy and lust of following the noble art of selfdefense by always encounter just some more of this disgusting madness.

    Evidence does not suggest otherwise, opinion does, eye test does. There's no evidence whatsoever to suggest an exceptionally talented, extremely fast 210 lbs guy can't beat an 250 lbs, skillful SHW.

    U have to remember that time s have changed. Training methods are different as is the proteins, that's why heavyweight s are a lot bigger now. This era heavy weight s would easily beat fighters from say fifty years ago. Not saying those old guys were no good, just that they wouldn't defeat modern era.

    I think he made a mistake, and did not check it. Maybe something to do with creatine. Guess we will find out.

    My general gist is that modern day athletes are bigger faster and stronger. That is down to the food they eat and training methods. Modern day fighters are nine times out of ten better than say fifty sixty years ago. U couldn't have dempsey or Johnson defeating a Holmes or tyson. Just no way so modern is better.

    Ok maybe I phrased that wrong. What I meant is accessibility to protein food compared to yesteryear. A more balanced diet, more vitamins,. That's why athletes are generally more muscular.

    Like so many have said marciano would be a cruiserweight now. Look at dempsey, look at Henry Cooper. There so much bigger cos of nutrition now a days

    H2H is literally unfair,today's hw would crush the old timers but the die hard fans of the old timers refuse to accept reality. There are exceptions to every rule but with this there are no available rule s to break.

    Now going off career wise it's simply impossible for any modern fighter to reach the level of the d timers especially once we strongly consider the longer a fighter is retired the more great he becomes..

    Takes at least a decade then every passing year they somehow become greater than the previous years. I haven't yet learned how they actually become "better" but they do, almost to inhuman levels.

    I couldn't imagine Aj being in the ring with anyone from yesterday's generations. Hell, the size and athletic ability is simply too much for such inferior talents that are so much smaller and the ones comparable were far too clumsy and not remotely close talent wise.

    A fat 40 year old Middle weight handled Sam Peter a lot easier than Wladimir Klitschko.
