Just because they are modern does not make them better either.
I was thinking more of the tough grind these boys had to go through outside of the ring just to bring food in their door.Aisde from their training which was minimal to some extents when compared to today.

I think the closest we get to that kind of hunger and grit which breeds determination; nowadays would be some from south of the border in the States, some parts of Asia, Africa maybe, but they haven't forests they have to go out in and cut trees for 12 hours a day by hand, or roads to build,tunnels to dig by hand or quarry split all that stuff they used to have to do out in the elements rain or shine.
