Re: Is this the worst era in HW boxing history?

You can see in the image above that Joe and Muhammad are not HW's by modern standards. They are chubbed up CW's. Today when we have CW's step up to HW they are usually "muscled up" and "highly athletic" at the new weight as opposed to just naturally increasing to that weight like Joe and Muhammad by virtue of getting older and fatter. If you make Joe and Muhammad train hard enough and lean up enough to make weight like current CW's do, they fit well into the 200lb limit.

I could not find one of Wladimir standing next to Peter but you all know that Wlad is even more ripped than Vitali. It is clear from viewing these 2 guys that both Vitali AND Peter are of a far higher calibre than Joe or Muhammad, about 2 or 3 weight ranges above!!
And leaner! Both Klits and Samuel are sporting the outline of what appears to be not just a 6-pack, but one with very large, strong abdominal muscles.
Yes I can certainly see what your talking about. Peter looks morbidly obese in this image! LOL
Your failing gentlemen!
The fact is that today, the champions are muscled up, lean and 6-packed and SOME of their opponents are fat.
In the "Golden Era"... The CHAMPIONS themselves were fat!
