How about we make another comparison like it's NEVER been made before (by OTNB or "nostalgic" posters to put it nicely)...

Take a look at this snapshot of rankings from 1973..

And then compare it to any snapshot of the Lewis or the Klitschko eras or the current era at ANY time...

The champ was less than 220lbs and a plodding slugger,

A defenceless punchbag Ali was ranked 4th with zero punch of his own.

A 1D poor mans version of Chisora was ranked.

A chinny superheavyweight featherfist bum buster+cruiser-cruncher was ranked,

And a host of other doubtful opponents...

I wonder how that'd fare against todays top rankings
