I once saw a fight between a black boxer and a white boxer. The white boxer won. Do you guys think white boxers are more evolved than blacks?

In other words, it might help to specify. You can't just say "past boxers", there has to be some kind of cut-off point to fairly judge. In my opinion the modern era in terms of technique came into full effect around the 1940's, with pioneers paving the way beforehand. Anything prior to say, the 1920's or so I don't really take seriously when considering head to head matchups with modern counterparts, though that doesn't diminish their all time standing for what they accomplished during their era and how they helped the sport evolve.

Thats a ridiculous question to ask!!

I gave you a cut of date if you read in pne of my posts, i said boxers from the 20's & 50's and modern, who would be more advanced at the sweet science. I know there was different rules but would today elite boxers be to slick for the tuff brawlers of the 20's.

When did modern day technique start to take effect?
