    Very well put. I was just going to say imagine it the other way round. Take a modern day fighter back in the 20's and i mean they grew up in that era they wouldn't have anyway of learning skills and techniques that don't even exist yet.

    Could you imagine Floyd fighting 20 times a year or Pac not getting his hakes from Ariza!

    That's what makes the fighters who they are. If they were "forced" per se as in time machined as a baby before they learned anything lol they definitely wouldn't have been the same fighter. But that's the thing. They are who they are in these H2H matchups, when someone says X fighter from the past would beat Y fighter today, they're taking each fighter as is, including the accumulated knowledge.

    The pioneer of a skill doesn't mean someone else down the line won't perfect it more than the former did.
