Are the past Eras overrated or the new generation just not that good?

    Wilder would have been a huge punching HW, but one who would have been vulnerable due to a poor overall skill set.

    Just like today.

    We’ve literally seen him struggle with B and C level HW’s.

    If he can’t land his power, he’s extremely vulnerable.

    Yes, he’d have been an anomaly in the 70’s.

    However, look at some of the stylistic match ups that he’d have been faced with.

    He would have had some success.

    He couldn’t have beaten every HW of the 70’s though.

    What was a waste of my time was that long rambling assertion that didn’t even provide a single counter argument to anything I said lol

    Again, a rambling assertion with not a single point made. I assert that the newer list beats the old one, but I have the rationale and reasoning (argument) behind that assertion unlike you. In addition to the overwhelming converging evidence from other sports, you want to claim boxing is some extreme outlier for some inexplicable and unstated reason. So you can keep crying all you want, until you can provide extraordinary evidence for your extraordinary claims it’s an easy W for me here. Thanks for playing

    Rambling assertion. I’m not reading or replying to anymore of your nonsense. If any of your subsequent responses contain an argument with some evidence then copy and paste, then post again. If you just want to cry some more then please don’t respond, you’re wasting my time here. Thanks and have a nice day.

    Wilder would be the old timers mythical figure of brilliance, unbeaten and viewed as a god. Think of 200lb Frazier and the difference with 6’7 Wilder landing punches on Ali lol.

    1. Boxing was a much more popular sport in the past.
    2. The best fought the best.
    3. They fought much more frequently.

    Today some teen idol red headed wingnut saves his zero by paying off judges, using peds, avoiding dangerous fights, just so he can make big money fights, not for legacy.

    I told you my stance, and have since given you detailed, logical posts. So either come back to try and refute them, or you’ll look like a fool who’s been beaten down.

    Great list. Great shout on Kov and JMM.

    Kov is one of the best LHW's you will see in his prime, IMHO.

    Look at how pathetic you are.

    A rambling assertion?

    Not a single point made?

    SMH.

    I have given you a logical breakdown and have done a comparison.

    Everybody reading this can clearly see that.

    I have given you two lists to look at and contrast.

    I have made plenty of relevant points.

    I have not rambled.

    I have made clear and concise points in every post, providing logic and and showing you different perspectives.

    If you can’t counter these points, then don’t keep continuing to post.

    Making claims and then not engaging someone who’s challenged you will just humiliate you even further.

    So either come back and meet the challenge, or STFU and go and watch some tennis.
