Nice straw man. I said the quality of boxing is clearly higher, there are aspects of the sport that have clearly evolved since the days of Leonard-Hearns. In a direct head to head match up you need to take styles and many other variables into account. Brook has better technical ability, is the bigger and stronger man. Ray Leonard is a better natural athlete. I don't know who would win. It's not blatantly obvious like it is comparing someone today to Ray Robinson or Dempsey. From the 80s onwards the sport clearly improved.

Haha!

The only quality that's clearly higher, is the quality of the camera.
