Of course it is, and I don't dispute that. I believe it is a factor without a doubt, but another factor is the type of training the old timers did...
So how would Ali have coped with the modern superheavy? He seems to get a bye on this forum compared to other similar sized fighters. Sure, Ali...
I liked Frank and remember his early fights. He was dedicated, brave and powerful, but he was not a "natural". He always looked tense and as you...
I agree, but Maidana throws such unorthadox punches that he might be dangerous.
He hurt men of more than 230lbs as well. They may not have been as good as Lewis, but they were still big men. The one thing you can't level at...

I think people are overlooking Louis's hand speed. You can talk about him being a "plodder", but his foot work got Joe where he needed to be;...
11 Arms McGinty, 30's Bantamweight.
