    I already destroyed your poor arguments in the other thread, but you keep bringing it up. AEROBIC IS BETTER.

    PEDs plain and simple. Boxing is full of corruption. I'd say boxing has more corruption right now then it has when the mafia was in control of it.

    Modern boxers are just better than old boxers, there are better nutrition & training programs nowadays and better genetics overall. Modern fighters are all superior to the old farts counterparts, at least physically

    Becuz fighters back then were all natural ATHLETES... They trained by BOXING... They sparred, they hit the mitts, they hit the bag...

    Nowadayz they do strength and conditioning isolating certain body parts like body builders... And also they drain themselves nowadayz since they get 24 hours to regain it all

    Because they'd much rather admire themselves in the mirror than learning their craft.

    There has always been world class boxers who are "ripped" and those who are not.
    My guess is that if it's more common for boxers to be ripped these days. It's due to the fact that more boxers use weights these days than in the past.
