It's boring comparing fighters from different generations, it's all hypothetical, the elite of any generation would hold themselves against anyone past or present. All ifs and buts but people usually look back through rose tinted glasses, so today's fighters are at a disadvantage.

I will say in the heavyweights it's a bit different because of the size of today's, anyone who thinks a 6'2 14 stone man would not be at a massive disadvantage against someone over 6'6 and 18 stone is just crazy. It would be the equivalent of Khan fighting a super middleweight.

Tyson, he is hugely underrated as a defensive fighter and in his prime was great but is that not another trait of a great fighter ? reaching the top and still having the drive and determination to be the best ?

That's why mayweather is so underrated I don't think people realise the guy was at the pinnacle of the sport and still dominated for maybe 8 years after reaching it. Up at half 4 every morning, always in amazing shape, forget what you hear, the guy lived a clean life, he wouldn't have dominated otherwise. That's why for me Tyson will never be regarded as an all time great, he hit the top and just didn't have it in him to remain there. Tho within 20 years time no fighter will be fit to lace mayweathers gloves so he will finally get the accolade he deserves.

I don't think Lewis was chinny but rather his chin was about average......Chinny suggests that a figher can't take a good shot. Those big power shots that knocked out Lewis would have knocked over most.

Almost all boxers suffer tkos and get stopped. Was Tyson chinny because he was stopped four times compared to Lewis's two?

No, Tyson wasn't chinny and either was Lewis.

The point was Joshua took that bomb from Klitschko, went down and was wobbly for 2 or 3 rounds, but he turned it round. Lewis in a similar situation v McCall AND Rahman showed his vulnerability and did not recover. If Joshua landed a big bomb on Lewis, odds are he wouldn't survive

Tyson was 5'10'' and 15 stone. Wasn't a problem. He had more problems against bigger fighters but that was not his undoing.
You can't just be big, you have to be big and good. Primo Carnera was big 6' 5'' but he got battered by Max Bear and Joe Louis who were over 3 inches shorter.

Certainly, an old fighter of 13/14 stone would struggle against a superheavyweight of today but if they were to fight in some parallel dimention,I'm sure that they would bulk up a bit first.

No you just have a nostalgic view of heavyweight boxing from it's 80's heyday and cannot appreciate the qualities of current fighters

Not at all. I just know the difference between natural ability and entirely taught ability. Too many modern heavyweights are all bulk and no talent.
No one in the current crop could have lived with the Klitschko brothers in their prime and a prime Lennox Lewis would beat both of them. Lennox beat Vitali when he was in bad shape in what was a great fight.

Who would win out of AJ and Bruno I wonder? The answer is probably, whoever landed the first heavy punch.
