Would Rolly Romero be an all time great if he was sent to the 1940s

Boxing as a sport is always evolving, boxers today are 3x as skilled as the the archaic warriors from the distant past, and boxers in the future will have even more refined footwork, boosted athleticism, higher ring iq, newly discovered punches, superior head movement and catching punches more often. Rolly may be trash now, but compared to the 1940s his skills must be wizard like.

How would Rolly do against a top level boxer back then like Henry Armstrong ?

 

Armstrong would beat the **** out of Romero

 

No amount of evolution saves Rolly here, I could see the second raters from the period beating him as well as countless others long before the 40s.

 

No. Romero would not be an ATG in ANY era. In fact, he would not even be a top 10 contender in most eras.

 

I was somehow affraid clicking at the thread but I feel reinsured seeing your answers guys!

 

"boxers today are 3x as skilled as the the archaic warriors from the distant past, and boxers in the future will have even more refined footwork, boosted athleticism, higher ring iq, newly discovered punches, superior head movement and catching punches"

Let's be completely real here..............................none of this is true,

Rolly hasn't even broken 18 fights yet and he (really) should have 4 losses not 2. Rolly is a journeymen level fighter that somehow gets talked about with world ranked fighters. Makes no sense.

 

He would be lucky to get out alive fighting Armstrong,not to mention numerous others

 

he get smashed to bits in any era. He's not that good open to a punch and not the greatest chin

 

This thread reminds me why many groups have post approval status imposed by admin

 

Henry Armstrong should count his lucky stars that he never had to share an era with the real GOAT, Rolly Romero.

 

Trolly Romero.

 

What strain are you even smoking to think of such a subject?

 

No... the fundamentals were on point in that era.

 

How do you even think of these threads
