    Mark, this has been done to death for nearly 40 years.

    What is YOUR question or comment about it?

    Fouts has stated on this study that fighters back then were better because they were faster and they warmed up before fights which fighters don`t now nobody else has been that specific.

    What? Fighters don't warm up today? I wouldn't listen to a word if he actually said that.

    You never see their bodies oiled up like Ray`s was v Duran, they come in a bit cold.

    I grew watching Ray and the other fab four, loved boxing back then, they did seem quicker and more vicious to me, there probably won`t be anoter Hearns in terms of being an amazing box/puncher, great memories.
