Tell us how those fighters would be at the top of other eras.
And again, you say fighters like Gene Tunney, Joe Louis, and Jersey Joe Walcott used their faces as defense, when anyone who know anything about boxing knows that isn't true.

Louis got caught by some ridiculously shit punches that no slick HW today like Byrd or Haye or Wlad would get caught with. Evading those lumbering giants he fought must have been REAL hard work for a champion boxer lol. Tunney's defence was good against guys like Jack fuckin Dempsey! Somehow I think he'd be getting sparked out by the LEapai's of the division today. Walcott was a defensinve fighter, no argument but he was too small to be effective and even still he was no Eddie Chambers!
And that's all you can come up with VG? 3 fighters!
What about 70's Muhammad, Frazier, Marciano, practically every other boxer! Why do you think you LIKE those eras so much? It's because they took chances which either succeeded (the opponent got punched) or failed (they got punched) and it was a slug fest. They could tolerate the punches and so it went back and forth all night. That's what you LOVED about boxing.
Well I'm sorry, times changed. Boxers got smarter and try not to get hurt more now.
Chris Byrd sparring in something like an 8 foot square concrete walled ring and learned to bend around shots like they were nothing, David Haye can similarly stand right on the edge and not be assaulted by giant men with really hard and fast punches.
Show me 1... Just a single 1, HW apart from the 90's, apart from Mike Tyson, who can do anything remotely approaching that!
gtfo!
