Thank you for exemplifying the idiotcracy of this argument. I guess any kid with a calculator is smarter than a master mathematician from the 1800s as well. The evidence is he made ingenious discoveries with absolutely no technology to aid him. In fact, he invented the technology necessary to make the discoveries he made
I think you missed the point of the ****ogy. To suggest every scientist of today is more intelligent than Galileo is ridiculous knowledge and intelligence are not the same thing . Give jefferies the same level of training and roids that klitshcko got and he's a different fighter
It goes both ways. Would heavy weights of today be able to do what they are doing now with the training methods, and knowledge of nutrition they had back then? Most definitely not.
Who will win the Fury vs. Klitschko rematch? I could't care less. If Mike Tyson just went away I'd be okay with that. Leonard beat Hagler. I'd take a fighter like Terry Norris any day over the Floyd Mayweather's of the world. Much more flawed but actually fun to watch. I have an unusual joy in watching the Norris vs. Luis Santana trilogy in the 1990's. I kind of admire the con job Santana pulled off.
tyson was an awful inside fighter. and jack johnson would have schooled him. the rope a dope, bigger gloves and popularity of tyson was the worst thing to happen for boxing technique. putting your hands up is not boxing basics or even good technique.
Even though he's an all-time great, I think Roberto Duran would get cold****ed into another dimension if he fought Pipino Cuevas in the 1978-1979 time period. Seriously.
Reading a thread on a Classic Boxing Forum centering around Galileo and time machines is a unique and not unpleasant experience, but one I'd like not to repeat any time soon.
