Could a 19th century fighter realistically have beaten prime Tyson or Anthony Joshua

Joshua was throwing at mostly fresh air on a guy with maybe half the skill set of Johnson. What Joshua Takam fight did you watch, mac?

 

OK troll.. Whatever you say.

 

Wilder wouldn't have to be ashamed to have fought Jason Gavern in his 32 th pro fight because Gavern would be the GOAT in the 19 th century, that's how "weak" the division was, compared to today. Did they even lift?

 

thanks! a while back, i started a thread on the same idea of old time fighters with modern training regimens and was shot down.

 

Jack Dempsey would beat the **** out of AJ.

 

Athletes today have better stamina by massive amounts than athletes had 200 and even 100 years ago.

 

A crude and undersized Jack Dempsey wouldn't even be ranked inside the top 50 Heavyweights today:

He would get destroyed at today's LHW and CW. AJ wouldn't even bother to do sparring with Jack as the disparity in skill and size is way too large.

 

LOL.. Sarcasm?

 

He is head butting the heavybag LOL

 

Quite to the contrary. He's an ATG and the best of his era. A legend. Of *HIS* era. He can't possibly compete against modern day era athletes just like a Ford T doesn't compete with a modern day Mercedes.

 

Maybe a toy 1:18 scale racing car.
