List all of the reasons modern fighters would beat older fighters

Boxers are prettier on average these days. Back then they all had lumpy heads and flat noses.

Also: no Jean-Francois Bergeron. Seriously, was boxing even worth watching back in the day?

 

Could Joe Louis beat Bergeron? A prime, focused Bergeron.

 

Yes, but once again may I remind you: No Jean-Francois Bergeron. Without him, boxing was like mashed potatoes without the gravy.

Boxing needs Bergeron, just like Kathy Lee needs Regis.

 

Fighters are bigger, thats it. Fighters now are not as tough as older fighters, now you have fighters quiting on there stools instead of going out like a man. Even the toughest fighters seem to now quit instead of going out on there back, guys like Tyson, Vitali, Brewster all gave up.

 

I want to say that diet and exercise and the science behind it are better now adays, but then again I honestly feel very few fighters benefit from it, since I don't know how many use it to an advantage.

The ability to analyze lots of tape on fighters in the digital age, but this would be as much of an advantage to both (considering you moved past into present)

I do think guys are bigger in their own weight class (yes, weight is the same, but size isn't always consistent to weight, but people are bigger, and the ability to drain weight to make weight, along with new diets, can mean you can in fact be a better inshape 147 with a bigger frame and more strength than say 1950) This of course assumes that someone is using a workout/diet program that is high-tech and state-of-the-art. Not every fighter does.

The biggest thing I think is that more guys are full-time fighters, and with only 2 to 3 fights a year, they have a lot of time to train and focus on fighting, assuming they actually use the time effectivley, but the money in the game today gives that option to more fighters. They don't have to take tomato can fights monthly to make a living.

Of course, the added money could also be considered a negative, as it causes some fighters to lose the hunger when they are rich, and leads to them getting complacent and distracted.

Hmm.. the Bergeron argument is also good though.

...also no Reggie Strickland.
