Taeth - sorry mate, you are looking at the sport now without even considering that someone who did not have video, modern conditioning, nutrition etc etc would be much much better than you see them in the 50's on crap quality film.

When you say that Robinson had 'no defence at all' - that doesn't wash because most people who know anything about boxing know that is simply not true.

I don't know how old you are, but I wonder if your thoughts will change when you are 40 and it's all younger fighters and people saying how much better they ALL are than PBF because olympic athletes run faster?
I'm all for supporting the fighters there are now but saying that they are better just because they're alive during a better time of technology is a joke. Yeah ok some runners are getting slightly faster but everyone else is getting bigger and lazier. Some peoples children.....
