There probably is less quality fighters now but the fighters that are the elite would have been able to handle themselves in the best eras.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
I think public awareness has a lot to do with it. If the old timers were more aware and educated on the long-term effects of boxing, they would not have been engaging as much either. I doubt guys like Joe Louis and Rocky Marciano knew any boxers prior to them suffering from dementia due to their craft.
