I think this an interesting debate.
Could you see some of the modern fighters engage in battles like La Motta v Ray Robinson? Yes there’s all the modern day training, evolution etc, but I find that fatigue is also something that occurs more in the modern day fighter. Some of the past masters could go non-stop for 15 rounds and fatigue wasn’t as big as of an issue as it is now in the modern day fighter.
Maybe some of the ‘old skool’ training methods were better, maybe with all the chemicals and ingredients consumed these days by the modern fighter contributes to fatigue.
I don’t think ALL the Past Greats beat the Modern Greats, I think each comparison has to be done it’s merit etc,
Let’s take each weight division for example.
