I think Spence, Crawford, Prime Thurman, Ennis, and Ortiz would beat the WWs in the 90s

yeah, ive noticed you think all kinds of crazy ****.

 

depends on the athletes. there are a bunch of indians in the mountains of northern mexico who are eating up the best long distance runners the world can throw at them, while running in frickin sandals cut from old tires. and theyve been untouched by outside influence for centuries. why hasnt our best left them in the dust?

 

Of course sports science etc mean that athletes are improving. But when comparing fighters you go by the eye test and there were great athletes in the 90s. The likes of Roy Jones and Mike Tyson for example - they are better physical specimens than the current crop

 

We still have athletics world records from the 90's and even the 80's, so even if the advancements of modern training, nutrition and recovery, athletes now are not all guaranteed to be superior to athletes from the past. A big part of advancement in sport also comes from equipment technology. For example over the last few years we've seen athletics running records tumbling at an unprecedented rate, we had 3 new world records just in the last week or so. That isn't due to all the athletes suddenly becoming better, it's because of PEBA foam based running shoes with carbon plates or rods, it's completely changed the game, making everyone faster by just wearing a pair of these shoes.

Boxing is also very much more a skill based sport, where fitter, faster, stronger fighters can be beaten by superior skills. I also disagree about Oscar being another Keith Thurman, Oscar's accomplishments dwarf Thurman's, Thurman wouldn't even be competitive with De La Hoya and I think Oscar was quite frankly overrated in his era.

 

No I don't and judging by the crap you post posters aren't either.

 

Jose Luis Lopez would destroy them all.

 

Lmfao

 

This bored idiot again....

 

Nah, doping was much more abundant in the 80's and 90's than it is today. There are a lot of fighters today doping too but they can't abuse it like they could in the past. If you look at Florence Joyners career and think otherwise you're just being ignorant.

 

This.
