    i
    forget spinks and jones those guys would have been prisoned for 1st degree murder had they been allowed to enter the ring with some of todays 175 fighters, i wanna state that i'm a dawson supporter but they guy would have been given all he could handle by men such as a prime montell griffin, virgil hill, prime Glenn Johnson (hell a past it 1 gave him a tough fight) and i wont even get into the **** guys like qawi and matthew saad mohammad would have done. the old school fighters would have layed waste to these guys, having speed doesnt count for **** IMHO the power,intensity and ring craft would have easily overcome any athleticism or flashy speed these cats have.

    You are so right, but you may be wrong. It is the general impression after a big disappointment.

    No ****. Can people imagine what guys like Charles, Archie Moore, Bob Foster would do in today's division? ****, they would annihilate these clowns.

    These guys are not clowns by any means and would be competitive in any era.

    Agreed. Some of these guys think that if you fought before the 90's you are a god. Bob Foster, Archie Moore, none of those guys would have just walked through Roy Jones.

    Ezzard Charles probably was the best LHW though for the record.

    nobody is saying those fights wouldn't be competitive. RJJ in his prime presents difficulties for a lot of fighters. All that's being said is that Charles, Foster, Moore had great comp, were excellent fighters and they hit very very hard, something Jones was never that great against.

    Ezzard Charles was knocked down fourteen times in two consecutive fights. ATG chin right there.
