Joseph Parker gets sent to the 1960s, does he clear the the lot ? (Boxing Evolution Theory)

It isn't just hand and foot speed.

It is the whole package.

And Ali never faced a man like these SHWs in his entire career.

 

Parker might win because he has grown up watching all these guys on tape and trained an evolved version of their styles, where as they won't have seen or faced a fighter like Parker before.

He might struggle to adapt his drug regimen, diet and training to match what they had available in the 60s though. I think he could drop the weight and fight 15 rounds if required, it would probably be harder for him to adapt to how differently it was reffed.

Also fighters on average definitely hit harder these days, I'm not saying the older generation didn't hit hard and had some standouts but the average joe heavyweight packs more of a punch.

 

You’re kidding right?

The limitations of AJ, Fury and Parker would be exposed very quickly by Ali. And they’d be dealt with ruthlessly.

Usyk is the only heavyweight around today that puts himself in a fight with Ali and has a legitimate chance. And he’s the smallest of the lot. It’s an absolute fallacy that the SHW’s are faster and hit harder than the guys that Ali fought. George Foreman was stronger and hit harder than any SHW alive today. And we all know what Ali did to him.

 

He'd beat a lot of the top 20 but loses to the best guys around that era. Ali, Liston, Frazier, Foreman.
