Every sport in history has progressed apart from boxing which has drastically regressed. It's a silly/lazy argument, for obvious reasons (like scoring, it's all in the eye of the beholder, no concrete facts and figures).

I fully get the rose tinted glasses lark, i'm just as guilty, forever thinking so-and-so from the 90s would have murdered this or that "champ." But it's not the truth. The truth is, in all likelihood, the best fighters in any era would hold their own with each other.

I think Lennox irons out Joshua but he lost to fighters who Joshua irons (obviously not McCall, impossible, but you get the drift).
