Message: [QUOTE="theshed, post: 3120772, member: 2290"] No I completely 100% get it. Who’s the a footy centre that you think is the comparison to SBW’s boxing ability? Name them, even if Mal trains for a year, no matter how dominate he once was, he loses that match up. You have to realise how much any sport changes in 20 years. There’s every chance that if you take peak Tyson or Ali and click your fingers and put them in the current heavy weight division that they may not be the best in the world. There were no Tyson Fury or AJs in the 90s. Huge guys who can actually box. Maybe Lenox Lewis and guess what happened? He knocked out mike in the 8th round. The sport has changed. Now add to that Mike is a 53 year old with decades of damage from drug and alcohol abuse. He’s spent the last 10 years smoking weed and doing media and distancing himself as far as possible from the sport of boxing. Bernard Hopkins is a freak who never got out of shape, looked after his health and never stopped training or boxing, Hopkins is a supreme athlete, a smarter boxer than Tyson, and had a style more resilient to ageing and even he began to struggle against far lower status opponents. I’m not saying Mike couldn’t KO SBW or Gal but it’s definitely not he given that everyone assuming it is based on his golden period in the early 90s and 4 seconds of pad work footage. I don’t even see why this opinion is controversial. [/QUOTE]
