One more time - heart will and courage are not real terms of measurement.:roll: Are you saying all modern athletes are dirty???
Are you saying modern athletes... being Olympic Track and Field that I mention, are clean?? Carl Lewis.. Ursain Bolt?????? Heart, will and courage is not a testament to a fighter?? Oh.... lame PPv's must be then. lmao
This shows you have an agenda against modern sports :good Heart, courage and will levels being decided by you means nothing to anybody.
Jessie Owens ran 10.3 seconds to obilerate the field in the 100ms winning Olympic gold in Berlin. High school kids run 10.5s now. Owens on a bad day would get beat by school kids. I would hold Jessie Owens up there with some of the greatest sprinters of all time. But I am NOT going to say he will beat today's sprinters which Flamengo and Sallywinder insist on. Some people can't handle the truth and insist living in dreamland.
Give Owens the same illegal drugs used by todays runners.. he'd do just as well. Even with the 'roids, .6 of a second is hardly erased off his own running times. Was Carl Lewis a drug cheat..???? YES. Usain Bolt... I'd bet my life on it.
What kind of shoes was he wearing? Are you arguing that Jesse Owens is an inferior runner than modern runners?:nut
If the modern fighters are so far ahead please explain why a large percentage of them are gassed out by round 9 yet the earlier fighters went at it for a well over 12 rounds at pace especially the heavy weights.
Those in any doubt should tune in to 'The Thriller in Manilla' tonight on SBS - then make us a list of modern day heavies who would have survived into rounds 13, 14 & 15 with Ali & Smokin' Joe. ...it'll be a list about as long as the list of French war heros!
I noticed 20a stopped posting in the thread once i asked a logical explanation to his dribble. One of the current champs Wlad K has a limit of punches thrown or as we have seen he is exhausted in 4 rounds if he tries to let his hands go, just thinkin what giuys like Ali foreman et cwould of done to that bloke is criminal.
He stopped posting because he had to go This content is protected shopping with his Mum.:deal Ali, Foreman, Liston, Frazier, and many others around that time would have made our current crop of heavies look daft. People who can't see that haven't seen these guys fight.
