    I cannot agree with your reasoning.

    Firstly, there is some evidence that there were more active professional boxers in the 30s than there are today.

    Secondly, a larger talent pool doesn't automatically mean better people at the top.

    Thirdly, even if you can prove that era B is better than era A, you are still a long way from proving that somebody in era B would not be world class in era A, which would be a much more specific assertion.

    Most top pros today come out of the am system and are known entities before their first pro fight. The am system was trash in the 20s.

    There is ample evidence that 180-200 pound fighters have trouble competing in today’s heavyweight division. There is a really basic logic that explains why that is. You’re a smart guy. Figure it out.

    It's more heated than the Ali vs Tyson thread because Prime Carnera doesn't have real fans on this forum, they just use him as a tool to further their agenda.

    This is a bait thread.
