Why can't any present greats beat any of the past greats?

Cuz past athletes are always overrated #fact

 

Wait until they are retired twenty years attitudes will change

 

It's because the old farts seem to think older athletes were the best, which is ridiculous. There are exceptions like Bobby Orr, Oscar Robertson, etc. But Ali would get raped by Wlad. Robinson would get raped by Floyd or Pac. etc etc etc

 

Tbh Robinson would **** both of them he went and faught at 175, PAC and floyd will only fight someone at 154 of there a soft touch otherwise it's catch weights

 

Tbf in 2006 Floyd was being already compared to the greats

After cotto and Dlh manny (8 div champ fighter of the decade) is now also in that league

I think by the time both guys retire they will be both ahead of the fab 4

 

In all fairness he beat lamotta four times he beat him once

And lamotta outweighed him at the weigh in but about 15 pounds I think

 

Still he outweighed him by a stone

If may weather faught ggg and floyd weighed in at 144 and ggg at 160 do you not think that would give ggg a ridiculously big advantage?

 

Because in many fans minds athletes get better in hockey,baseball,football,basketball,
swimming,track etc etc, EXCEPT boxing.. It's people holding on to Nostalgia for those who over exaggerate past fighters of today..

 

He only outweighed him by 4 and a half pounds

There was two clear weight classes between lamotta and Robinson at the weigh in

And are people using the fact that Robinson faught guys way bigger than himself at the weigh in because he wanted a challenge against him now? The man went from lightweight to light heavyweight becUse he wanted challenges
I think every boxing fan wishes fighters today had that attitude
