    "In Joe Louis's day they were slow and they trotted around. In our era, Ali was a boxer, man, very quick. And nowadays, fighters are bigger and stronger. But in my opinion the fighters in our era, in the 70s, were the greatest group of fighters ever assembled."

    Then came along Tyson Fury

    Still 20 pounds naturally heavier than even the biggest rioded up super heavies without the typical agility downgrade.

    70's was the greatest group.

    It would be like having AJ, Fury, Prime Wlad, Prime Lennox & Prime Vitali all fighting in the same era.
