Anyone who disputes that fact is simply being a contrarian for the sake of being a contrarian or for the sake of trying to look open minded by putting on an air of supposed and alleged fairness to modern Fighters.
I guess it is really cool to tell yourself that you have gotten old now and that you are simply delusional in your old age to think that the fighters of yesteryear were tougher and more determined and stronger and had greater heart and greater willingness to suffer and to fight and push themselves beyond their human capacity.
I guess its cool. Whatever floats your boat.

Besides Evander Holyfield I really can't think of any Fighters of the past 20 or 30 years at least in the heavyweight division who had that kind of warrior spirit that Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier had.
How dare you forget Foreman
