Jack dempsey fought in 1920 which was well over 80 years ago, and yes, the guys today are much more technical than back then, dont even try to argue that shit there is also a much deepr talent pool, ngannou would literally balst dempsey into a different dimension, there's levels to athletecism and power.Huh? What do Tyson, Woodley and Ngannou have in common? That they are black and muscular? Tyson was in his prime 30+ years ago. Woodley would do absolutely nothing in a boxing ring and most likely neither would Ngannou.
There's been plenty of boxers with skinny legs and massive KO power, black or otherwise, and boxers today aren't better than 30-40-50 years ago.
There is also a differance between a guy that is heavy handed due to large bone structure, big hands, thick wrists, wide shoulders (goerge foreman) and someone like mike tyson that relies on developing power through speed and explosive power, mike has huge hams and glutes.
Anderson silva is also black, lacks any real power due to underdeveloped glutes and legs.
Any of the best athletes have strong glutes and hams, back when i was a sprinter which is imo the best marker for athletecism i had huge glutes and hams, didnt even squat or anything back then, thats just the muscles that get developed with explosive training.
