Top 2 by Weightclass 1950 vs 2019

Aren't you comparing the best over the decade to the best in the current year? Seems unfair.

 

i agree with the idea that today's guys would beat the yesterday's ones but not because of talent. its rather related to the progress and evolution of every area that improves performance in any sport: diet, training methodologies, PEDs, medicine, media(availability of footage) and so on.

 

I feel Charles and Louis would have really close fights v Fury and Wilder due to the size differences, Fury could outbox Louis and Charles but Louis could score a come from behind KO because of his handspeed and combos, Wilder`s power would be too much though and his reach would be a huge problem.
Alvarez would beat Maxim and Moore because of his tight guard and fast counters but Betebiev would likely lose to Moore because he is less skilled unless he caught him flush a 50/50 chance of that I`d say, he`d overpower Maxim.
Canelo and GG would do better v Robi than LaMotta did in his final bout v Robi, I haven`t seen their other clashes, GGG and Canelo are both better defensively than Robi and LaMotta were, but Robi could outwork Canelo who is mainly a counter puncher now, GGG would land more punches on Robi than Canelo would but would get caught by more of Robi`s amazing counter combo`s as a result.
Crawford v Robi would a battle of the counter masters I give Bud an edge but Robi`s right hooks to the side would do a lot of damage, Bud would beat Gavilan, Robi would land too many counters on Spence, Gavilan v Spence would be a 50/50 toss up.
Loma and Comney would beat Ike and Davis.
Pep and Saddler would probably beat Josh and Cruz in close fights, I don`t feel they would land much on Pep though.

 

The elite fighters today sometimes have better fundamentals, Loma is the most skilled fighter I`ve ever seen but Pep was something else too etc.

 

HW, LHW, WW, and Featherweight seem pretty, um, yeah.

 

But Robinson won the MW title in 51?

 

Okay I looked up a list of rankings for 1950

 

Whitaker>Loma

 

I don't see Canelo beating Moore. Moore was a true lhw great, probably the best ever. You say Canelo would beat Moore after only 1 fight against a pitty patting Kovalev. I highly doubt that.

 

Comedy. Fat, heartless and sloppy vs Louis

Louis 100 out of 100 times. Lol stop

 

Well, it isn't fair because a bunch of modern weight classes are left out. No Usyk, Davis, Taylor, Berchelt or Estrada.

 

1. Louis wasn't very good in 1950 and Ezzard was 184 pounds. Edge:Modern
2. Moore was better than the others by a margin. Maxim not so much. Edge: 1950
3. Golovkin is finished Edge: 1950
4. Welter is obviously 1950.
5. Lomachenko and Haney get the edge. Maybe not with Commey. Even.
6. Feather is obviously 1950
7. Bantam is today
8. No ****ing clue about flyweight

4-2-1 to 1950
