    You are deliberately misrepresenting what people are telling you.

    I’m done. I have no inclination to have any sort of debate with someone who lacks the necessary decency to do so in good faith.

    You’re a troll. Don’t bother responding. I’m out.

    The only thing obvious is this:

    You’re either trolling, or you have a very limited knowledge of the sport.


    Today’s mobile HW’s can’t even rule THIS era. And they’ve all either struggled with, or lost to, guys who were absolutely inferior to many of the guys of the past.

    He was about the same size as Andy Ruiz, but with a much bigger reach.

    If you had any boxing knowledge, you’d realise the following:

    1. He’d have had mixed results, simply depending on who he’d fought and how they’d have matched up stylistically.

    2. Even in the modern era, we’ve had plenty of guys who’ve had success, who were the same size, as well as being even smaller.

    Larry Holmes
    Ali
    Foreman
    Tyson

    Yet they can’t beat a guy of Ali’s dimensions.

    A guy who you claim couldn’t compete today.


    You’re a troll.


    I just refuse to believe that there’s anyone ignorant/stupid enough, to genuinely believe that Ali couldn’t have competed today.

    It’s obvious?


    Joseph Parker could barely beat Hughie Fury.

    And he couldn’t beat the likes of Joe Joyce.


    That is a stone cold FACT.


    So then why would it be obvious, that he could have beaten Larry Holmes, Ken Norton and George Foreman etc??


    You are a troll.

    For a start, how on earth are you comparing a rugby match, to two guys pitting their styles together in a boxing ring??


    Boxing is an anomaly.

    It can’t be compared to any other sport. And especially not a team sport.


    In boxing:

    The biggest, strongest guy doesn’t always win.

    The most athletic guy doesn’t always win.

    Even the most skilled fighter doesn’t always win.


    The fights are always determined by how the two fighters match up on the night stylistically.

    He’s contradicted himself numerous times.

    It’s embarrassing.

    Micheal Moorer was a top 10 opponent, in a stronger era, who beat Evander Holyfield.

    He was also the same size as Andy Ruiz, who ran straight through AJ, who has been a top 5 HW of the last 10 years.

    Micheal Moore is also practically the same size as Usyk, who rules this supposed amazing era, with all of these athletic giants.

    All of this must be very confusing to you.

    What truth?

    What if we had all of today’s HW’s standing next to likes of Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson etc?

    What would that tell us exactly?

    Power? Liston had more reach than Parker and would have sparked fat Bakole, destroy? Ali`s chin was insane, he may have been caught off guard by Cooper but Shavers hit far harder than Cooper and Parker, Foreman wa a far better finisher than Parker too, so I`d say Parker would have done a lot better in the 60`s and 70`s, I think he would have picked up a title briefly at some point though, but not in the 80`s due to Tyson and Holmes reigning for most of that decade, Parker would have been a hard fight for any fighter in the 60`s and 70`s though, and would have pushed an ageing Holmes close by the mid 80`s too.

    One thing we can all agree on.

    We have WEIGHT CLASSES for a reason

    It is because we all know it is unfair to have a little guy fighting a great big guy.

    The odd LHW may do well in HW. But most of them get destroyed.

    And sad to say, most of the old heroes are now LHWs and CWs in today's era

    If they fought today's MOBILE giants, they would be in trouble.

    And every sensible person can see it. Except the "true believers" who have blinders on their eyes.

    Parker is only 6`4 and has a shorter reach than Ali had, Liston had an 84 inch reach, Parker is not as good at finishing as Foreman was.

    The point I'm making is about SHWs in general.

    Michael Moorer (at 6'2") would be beaten by every Top 10 heavy today.

    Big George (at 6'3") is no longer "big". In fact he is a SMALL heavyweight.

    The entire lineup of old legends simply cannot compete with the Size, Height, Mobility and Athleticism of the top guys today.

    If we stood them next to each other, we would see it clearly. There is a GULF between them.

    Athletism? Usyk is the same size as Ali and beat the biggest of them all.
