My comments were specifically about the level of competition faced after 20 fights, nothing to do with which era was stronger.

I disagree that one era was superior to another, I believe journeymen, fringe contenders and "champions" time-warped into different eras would have the same/similar existence. The smaller guys would be bigger and the bigger guys leaner/slicker etc.

There's more opportunity to be called champion today, so in turn it makes long standing challengers and champions from the past look stronger and today's crop appear weaker. You offer IBF "champion" Charles Martin as a representive of this weak era yet Glenn McCrory proudly dines out on being "world" champion, he won a vacant IBF title against an 8-2 Patrick Lumumba, he was matched with Lewis specifically because he was former "world" champion.

It's easy to highlight the flaws of modern fighters as we know EVERTHING about their lives, we get to watch all their fights, it takes seconds to produce their records. Training camps, sparring partners, press conferences, weigh-ins, we see everything.

We don't have to rely on stories, opinions and biases of other men.
