    It's easier to look at the world in such a simplistic way, isn't it?

    Yeah, that's pretty far fetched, huh. I try not to take such drivel seriously.

    True, but there really isn't much non-PED, non-creatine stuff that they can give modern people.

    For a *clean* athlete, nutritionists might be giving them:

    * Organic food, which presumably Schmeling got anyway

    * Creatine

    * Multivitamin (most important if the fighter isn't getting adequate nutrition otherwise.)

    * Maybe something for joints, like glucosamine/chondroitin.

    ...Plus perhaps also balancing the diet a little better. Assuming the athlete follows it. Even then, the nutritionist will probably make modifications to the diet based on what the athlete likes to eat. So if Schmeling (say) was working with a modern nutritionist, you might see less white chicken and more lean beef and potatoes, or whatever Germans ate back then.

    Source: My memory of reading the book written by Teri Tom, nutritionist to Manny Pacquiao and Andrei Arlovski.

    Also: Do we have evidence that Bent was employing a nutritionist at all? Those guys ain't cheap, and Bent fought Morrison a long time ago.

    What advances in movement?

    I'm providing a link to the official USA Boxing training manual:

    https://www.teamusa.org/-/media/USA_Boxing/Annemarie/Grassroots-Manual.pdf

    Can you please point out, with page numbers, which movement skills fighters from Joe Louis's era didn't know?

    no I didnt my quote is always they didnt have advanced movement or advances for short

    I would have to link a vid and break it down cause me saying it you just will say words of which you say on how you remember a person fighting where it could be like they like to do and act like the person fought a way they never showed

    you never seem to act blind like those or act like I said they do but I still dont trust easy here

    Ok.

    So they did have basic movement skills. Just not some "advanced" skills. Which ones? If you can post a video of the advanced skills people didn't know back then, it would be great, and I'm sure it would help people understand what you're saying.
