Who wins if to equal fighters from each era fights? Is modern sports medicine and sports science give modern fighters an advantage? Does activity favor the old time fighter?

Modern fighter would win.

The technique was different. The ring phyro was also different. Everything was different. And also, the old time fighter were dirtier fighters since the boxing rules wasn't as strict as it was in modern days.

Under modern's boxing, they wouldn't be able to fight dirty as much as they did during their days.

I think most modern athletes in all sports are better than old time athletes.

Part is from better training methods and sports science.

The only advantage the old time boxer would have is their toughness, they lived a very hard life, and were used to punishment, and fighting dirty too, since the rules were different then.

Using modern boxing the modern boxer of equal ability would win.

old fighters used to fight 20 rounds or more enough said

Old school fighters had better raw skills. You train them today and they'd be unbeatable, period.
