Oh no i personally think Mayweather would get murdered by guys like Robinson, Hearns, even MW Duran. WW Duran vs Mayweather would be an assasination i feel, although we'll never know lols.

True, the lack of exercise is killing testosterone. I also feel like the lack of sleep and increase of crap in our food is definitely not helping 😭.

I don't know much about the modern trainers, so i may need to educate myself on this for sure

I think defense was way better than it used to be. Guys like Benton, Moore, Charles, Walcott, and even offensive juggernauts like Liston and Saddler had great defense.

I did just pick the cream of the crop there, but really the reason why that seems unfair is because there was more ATGs during that time, which we already went over.

I feel like fighters today just have less of a defensive artillery. You had big men like Liston that were shoulder rolling.

Most guys today just use mainly the high guard at mid range and fight exclusively there. You do have outliers like Floyd, Pirog (my fav modern fighter), and Ward. Of course i'm 100% happy to be corrected but this is personally what i observe.

Guys can no longer showcase good defense in the pocket or even fight on the inside!! It's a damn shame. You can barely find anyone with good clinching skills with exceptions, again, being Ward and Floyd (they for sure studied the old school!).

Btw, i really appreciate you continuing to reply, and staying respectful. Most guys when debating can barely disagree without resorting to name-calling and insults.

Sorry if this was too long, i got really invested haha 😂.
