Would heavyweights from the 90`s destroy modern heavies?

If Alex Garcia could’ve just avoided that left hook to the temple from journeyman Mike Dixon he would have also been on your list..

 

I’m thinking Breazeale might have a drop of Mexican in him. He could probably net a couple extra million if he started walking to the ring in a sombrero.

 

You and me both know if Chris was German or French he wouldn't have gotten a SINGLE title shot.

 

Well French heavyweight Carlos Takam got 3 titles shots too against Povetkin for the Silver title, Parker for the IBF and Joshua for the IBF and WBA.

Charr is German and he got to title shots against Vitali for the WBC and Ustinov for the WBA regular belt.

So it's possible a French or German Arreola could of gotten a couple of title shots at the very least.

 

You're correct Brighton, those are more examples than I considered previously. I concede my point.

 

I suspect that steroid/growth hormone use in livestock translates into larger humans. Could this be the reason HW's and people in general are so much larger on average than in the 90's. Here in Korea the younger generations are huge compared to even recent older generations.

 

No.

 

The steroid/gh grown livestock adds to it, but there is the genetically modified foods too. That and over time proper nutrition throughout the whole populace increases growth. There's also the matter of medicines, etc etc. All that combines to push the size averages up.
