    Futch was far better than Goosen.

    Canelo has a far better defense than Graziano had and Rocky wouldn`t have stood a chance v Kov as he is now, so we`ll see how good Canelo really is if he beats Kov at 175.

    GGG punches far harder than LaMotta did and Jake landed well with the jab against Robi early on, GGG would do the same because he has an intelligent, consistent jab.

    Tunney as a heavy would have beat Spence and Porter and Dempsey would stop either man with the first decent hook he lands.

    AJ swims for more stamina because of how he gasses due to his musclebound body, Rocky did the same in Rocky 3.

    Juan Diaz swim during training as well
    Weird ...
    Babybull couldn't get rid of his baby fat yet got good stamina thru the roof.
    AJ swims, gets more muscular, but no increase in stamina

    No AJ builds his muscle withweights, but swimming is great for stamina.

    I personally can't see much of the heavyweights pre-1950s making it in today, most would be cruiserweights, and I think there style wouldn't win them any titles. Lower weights have a much better chance at being decent

    Yes it is great for stamina. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work for him was my point.
