id say any fighter with 60 fights or more fought his share of tomato cans, which is exactly what a lot of old timers did. your telling me theres an old time heavyweight that could take the power of klitschko? no way, his jab would destroy them, and i know there were a few big men back in the day, but none fought big like Wlad.

Everyone has their opinion on the prospect of a fight between a Prime RJJ vs Ray Robinson ..... a Mayweather vs a Pryor a Saddler vs Hamed.

And the common opinion amongst most of you is the old school fighter was better more durable better conditioned etc.....

Everyone points out how many times Ray Robinson fought....thats all well and good but....

Do you think Ray Robinson would have fought as regular if he was recieving the $million dollar paydays of this era, do you think he could dedicate himself to the same level with alll those endorsement deals/advertising commitments. Do you think he would have fought as many times as he did.....the likely hood is he would have been just as selective of his opposition as the after mentioned, knowing the risk/gain reward.

I think today's athletes are exceptional considering the amount of transparency we have into their lives, so comparing eras is unfair.

........I still go with all todays fighters over the old boys anyway.

Basically no difference. Mayweather would dominate in 1930, Archie Moore would dominate today.

He is making a push up my lists. Very overlooked fighter, but a pound for pound juggernaut. He ranks in the top 15 as of now, possibly higher, even top 10.

As far as I know, there is not. Damn shame as well. What a fighter, the definition of pound for pound.

Thats because Valuev is not full blooded Neanderthal and only represents a very small and modern gene pool. But still he aint doing to bad
