Honestly, you just can't compare fighters of yesteryear to todays fighters. Today we have much better training equipment and the guys are so much larger today than then. The fights are also shorter by round. Also, if I am not mistaken we use much heavier gloves today than they used in older days.

Even without the better equipment the fighters of yester year were better conditioned then alot of the fighters today. In general the old time fighters were alot tougher then most guys fighting today. You are correct that todays fighters are bigger and stronger but really don't think they could stand up to the punishment the old time guys endured.
