70's HEAVYWEIGHTS SUCKED!

George Foreman wouldve been much bigger today, as would mos of the heavyweights from the best.. if we're going to do the fantasy thing, then fighters should be able to use weights and modern nutrition.

 

Why do you use 'Yet' at the beginning of the sentence ?

That would imply some kind of contradiction.

 

In all seriousness IMO there should be some kind of law against people being able to have stuff like this published - it's no wonder there's so many brain washed turds around - this is the sort of stuff that's killing boxing - the young fans who might be so young they haven't even seen a film of an Ali fight or a Frazier fight - are going to be led up the garden path completely - and are going to be left with ZERO respect for the history of the sport and it's fighters - they are going to be thinking "well if Klit is as good as it gets in heavyweight history then I might just follow another sport altogether!!" - there's already enough going round on this forum who have had there brains washed by revisionist historians about the likes of Dempsey aswell - it's a complete joke

 

Yes, that's what I was implying.

 

See this article to bring some sanity back to the fore

I've reread my post and am unable to find the contradiction you suggest.

Care to be specific ?

 

That puts it better than any words at my disposal.

 

Im gonna play devils advocate here and suggest maybe ESB let it ride for the sake of objectibility. Thats the only thing i can think off as its utter bollox

 

No heavy weight from the 70's era would stand a chance against "sugar" Nikolay Valuev.

 

It's not fair how you singled out the 70's like that.
No fighter from any era would stand a chance against Prime SNV.

 

Vitali would be no more than a Bugner in the 70's. (if that)

 

You're right... My bad..

 

I stopped when I saw Frazier vs Tua. I do not mean I stopped after reading the analysis. I mean the mere idea of a Frazier/Tua comparison stopped me.

 

Bugner was a good contender though.. And tested anybody.. I certainly see Vitali doing better then that since he would be the biggest in the era and one of the strongest next to Foreman...

 

lol, "vitali klitschko stronger than gorge foreman"

george vs vitali= foreman by tko
ali vs wlad= ali ud
tua vs frazier= joe by sd.
norton vs arreola= norton by sd
haye vs shavers = i can see both ways by ko.
POVETKIN VS QUARRY= LMAO QUARRY WOULD ABSOLUTELY EXPOSE HIM
JIMMY YOUNG VS CHAMBERS= JIMMY YOUNG WAS STOLEN AGAINST ALI, YOUNG BY UD ANYDAY.
AUSTON VS LYLE= RON BY TKO
peter vs bugner = i can see both ways.
