In mma, the majority will say the newer guys beat the older guys.
In boxing the older guys are usually seen to beat the newer guys.
Joe louis, who boxed in the 1930s, would be seen by most as a favorite over evander holyfield...or even modern heavyweights. They fought almost 60 years apart.
There doesnt seem to be an over obsession with progression in boxing as there is in ufc.
I question the mma fans perspective. At the one hand yes ufc 1 guys have no chance. But historically since modern mma started the new breed does not always win.
I think it is just an interesting contrast
