Boxing can make the best case compared to other sports.......

[Max Power]

Actually boxing imo has a worst case than any other sport in this regard imo.

Proper analysis reveals a steady increase in performance in every aspect of the sport and no boxer prior to 2 or 3 decades ago would pose any punch threat to a modern boxer whatsoever.

Any romantic talk of a "golden age" is pure hog wash.

Boxing has more variables than other sports. More variables means more exposure to progress.

A new article has been released on everybody's favourite objective blog.

"Muhammad Ali's opponents in the eyes of modern fans OR Ali's Bum of the Month Club"

I suggest everybody read this article carefully and then consider how foolish such ideas as this thread title here actually are!
