    I think all of today's fighters would have been able to adapt to the past, as past fighters would be able to adapt to the present fight game.

    It really pisses me off, when people talk about any sport, saying that the current players/participants are nowhere near as good as ones in past eras etc.

    For instance, Floyd Mayweather.

    OK - he is a total knobhead, but anyone who disses his ability as a boxer clearly doesn't know what they are watching. He has had 39 fights against some of the very best names in his era, all types of fighters and dealt with them, with relative ease.

    For me, one of the all time great fighters, at any weight, full stop.

    Yeah, add to that athletes evolve ... they become faster, stronger, more athletic, bigger, taller, longer ...

    Ivan Calderon, he is used to 12 rounds so him fighting 3 more is not hard.

    I never seen Tito, Pacquiao, PBF, Margarito, Glenn Johnson, Roy Jones ... I never seen those guys tired after a 12 round fight ... they look fresh.

    JMM, PBF, Hatton, Calzaghe. A younger Hopkins would've been able to as well. Hell he could probably still do it now.

    they all could.

    watch some 15 round fights.

    they used to pace themselves more because of the longer distance.

    Mayweather and Calzaghe are the two that spring to mind.

    I would have said Hatton a couple of years ago but not so sure now.
