    We all know that modern training techniques have improved dramatically. So modern fighters would undoubtedly have the stamina advantage over the old greats.

    What other advantages do modern boxers have over their recent (like last 30/40 years) contemporaries?

    e.g.

    Ali v Wlad.

    You may all laugh and immediately say Ali.

    But Im not saying p4p im talking prime Ali v prime Wlad.

    My thoughts would be that Wlad would simply be too big and strong? We all know Ali has a million times more ability than Wlad so in a p4p sense Ali crucifies him. Ignore that and just put the two prime versions in the ring with each other.

    Also what about-
    Any HW in history v PRIME Tyson

    I think a prime Tyson would beat any HW in history.

    I agree that prime tyson would beat pretty much every heavweight in history suppose can just put it dwn to me being a tyson fan but that tyson that destroyed berbick not to many faults perhaps there was someone pre 60's fighter that could beat him I stil li'm new to boxing so only no flyod patterson onwards but frm 60's up tyson unstoppable

    I think his power and speed would be too much for any other HW. He would also be about 20lbs (of ripped muscle) heavier than most.

    I forgot to respond to ali vs klit not taking a swipe at wlad but ali would be the best conditioned fighter he would have ever fought can't see him posing a threat to ali...Ali UD

    When asked, Mike Tyson during a sports show with Ali present, actually said a prime Ali would beat him.

    Ye I have seen that tbh their few reasons could sway in either direction Ali could get in tyson's head plus ali would not be intimidated well wouldnt show it anyway if tyson could get ali out of there in 5 or 6 Ali would win but at same time ali has a good chin so who knows ppl could discuss this forever really

    "We all know that modern training techniques have improved dramatically. So modern fighters would undoubtedly have the stamina advantage over the old greats."

    WTF!!!! you mad mate, some of those old ****ers used to box 20-30 rounds, and fight 4-5 times per MONTH, and yeah yeah the standard to some may have been crap ( I would disagree here, like now some would be, but some would be great). As an example how many modern heavys could box 20+ rounds like the old pros ? before being totally gassed

    Have you actually seen the end of most of those fights? The fighters are staggering around the ring punching thin air.
