I think whats changed it the most is training, I mean before you wouldn't hear about Joe Louis, Jack Dempsey or even Jack Johnson going to high altitudes to train. It was all ground work and with whatever they had in their surroundings.

Now you got camps set up with nutrionists and all that. Boxers have tried to get an edge somehow by hiring people like Billy Blanks and the guys name leaves my mind at the moment but the guy that RJJ hired for his fight against Ruiz.

As far as talent not sure on that, cause some people say Lennox was a medicore Champ. I mean I like Lennox (I ain't his biggest fan) but credit is given where credit is due and credit is due to him he was/is the last Undisputed Champ. and that says a lot.

However I do think that fighters from the past had more heart then almost all of the ones of today. With exception of a few Heavys. who with regardless how tough it gets and regardless of previous losses their still around.
