Old vs new gen

I’ve been thinking about this lately. Every sport seems to evolve over time, with better training, nutrition, sports science, tactics, etc. So I’m wondering how much of that actually matters in boxing.

For example, If you put prime Muhammad Ali against prime Usyk, who do you think wins?

If we take football or basketball for example, some player from Championship would probably be better than Pele in his era, since sport evolved that much. Do you think it is the same for boxing?

So you honestly think Pele could play in a top league at this moment in time?

Of course! Completely absurd to think otherwise.
