besides that 30 of that guy sullivan fought had their first fight. only a hopeless nostalgic thinks sullivan takes it.

 

i'm pretty sure his were mainly hobos, farmers and truck drivers, just that there were no trucks at that time.

 

...sure his OPPONENTS were....
sorry bout that.

 

Funny.

First punch landed Sullivan would go down, guys back then didn't have access to the training aids guys have now.

 

It would be unfair, Wlad could kill the poor old timer with no gloves.

 

I'd hazard a guess that Wlad would ko hmi.

 

He will hurt his hands by punching his opponent nose in with a jab - so it sticks from the other side.

Modern technique is suited for bare knuckles just fine with some training. MMA folks are doing quite OK.

There is no magic about "old-school masters". Modern athletes in all sports are just as dedicated and much better schooled. Boxing and other martial arts are no exception. MOdern guys run faster and box better. Do not confuse the instanity of modern boxing promoters and sanctioning with the quality of fighters.

 

Klitschko

 

C'mon that's not right. They were mostly cab drivers from Mexico. Wait a minute....that's someone else.

 

It is mildly amusing how some people assume that anybody who disagrees with them is ignorant.

Did you stop arguing beacuse you do not have an argument?

I do have an argument. In every single discipline - every one - where an objective comparison is available, modern athletes are improving year after year. It does not matter whether this is endurance, speed, strenth or mental toughness. That holds true even in disciplines where dedication and mental aspects are as important or more important as in boxing (such as many of thsoe "extreme" sports, like rock climbing.

There is absolutely no reason to believe that boxing is anyhow different.

WHy would you think that boxing is different?

 

John L. sullivan is a legend and one of the pioneers of the sport, but he
was too undersized to even be slightly competitive with wlad.
Klitschko by death.

 

Well pea you are making yourself look stupid boxing peaked in the 40s yikes training and the ability to train professionaly without having to have a real job on the side wasnt realy there until the 60s 70s that when the sport realy started to evolve just as all other sports when money got good enough not having to rely on a "real job".
