That's your only defence, which is laughable when I can find any video and pick the immense amount of flaws within the technique, no matter what ruleset you wish to compare too. They were the top of their day, but for anyone to say that these guys BEAT a modern monster MW like Marvin Hagler, when in comparison they were a skilless tomato can regardless of any ruleset difference, is purely stupidity and a lack of real analysation skills. He BEAT the other primitive fighters of his era, has the best record of that era, how does he beat Marvin Hagler? Hell, how does he even beat a much smaller man in Salvador Sanchez under his ruleset when he cannot even throw punches correctly? :dead
Better than some of your absurd notions of extremely old fossils defeating Ali just because he would have 10 extra rounds, like the old fossil even makes it out of the first!
You seem to be evading the question. How would Salvador Sanchez fare head to head against Gene Tunney who Greb whiped 2-3 times depending on whose card you prefer? If the answer is that Gene Tunney would butcher him easily then it shows that you are talking out of the wrong orifice here.
I'll put it this way, take a random poster here, get him fit and train him in boxing with some amatuer fights, he smokes Gene Tunney.
An infinite difference in skill level. Are you telling me that punches thrown are punches thrown and you can't tell the difference either way?
Randy Couture throws a jab and straight in better form than Harry Greb does, even in light hearted sparring, also shows a better guard too.
The whole point is that these CLOWNS on here will say that these guys from these old era's, noting the different rulesets, times and what not would DEFEAT a modern fighter of similiar calibre in THEIR RULESET. So what I am saying is that in Greb's ruleset, a modern calibre fighter blows him the **** out, just like the modern fighters blows him the **** out in the modern rules, because the skill Greb needs is simply NOT THERE.
You are talking here but you are not actualy saying verry much. What advances in boxing technique have there been since Tunney's time that would alow a random poster from this site with a little training to beat him? What skills exactly dose Sanchez display that Tunney and his peers do not? You will understand that you are asking us to acept a lot here and will have to give some serious justification.
don't take Amstredam seriously. Tunney would beat the **** out of any fighter today from flyweight up to cruiserweight. And even at heavy maybe only Wald could beat him. Calling Tunney primitive is a joke, the guy was a near perfect boxer.
Greb's only stopage loss in over 300 profesional fight was due to a broken arm yet any decent modern fighter knocks him out early?
