I fail to find this interesting. Royce was the pioneer. It's like wanting to put Barry Bonds against Babe Ruth in a home run contest. Maia's MMA BJJ is light years better.

Are you saying BJJ has advanced that much in that time frame?

I think he's just saying Royce's bjj sucked, comparitively speaking to the elites at bjj.

BJJ has advanced a lot in that time frame as well as what the guy below me said.

BJJ is a relatively new discipline. A high level boxer from 1920 doesn't have shit on a good amateur from today. Royce's BJJ in 1993 isn't shit compared to what guys at the top are doing these days. BJJ is a relatively new and rapidly evolving martial art. Maia ties Royce into a pretzel with ease.

what about ADCC trials?

&

1930-1950 boxing?

what about ADCC trials?

What about them?

 

[iwillbebackin3weeks]

What about them?

Do you think Belforts bronze from 2001 (Europe) is "overrated"? (too much stalling)

And what about boxers from 1930-1970? do they stand a chance against todays boxers?

I touched on that a little bit. Yeah a good pro boxer from 1930 would get starched by a good amateur from today. The talent pool is deeper, the nutrition is better, the training methods and technology are much better. As for ADCC, 2001 wasn't too terribly long ago. It's not the same as Royce from 1993, but yeah I would believe a bronze medalist in ADCC today would overwhelm Vitor in 2001.

I might be interested in Maia vs. Royce.

I have nothing but respect for Royce but Maia would take him no problem.
His jits is on another level from Royce
