I dont discount the athletic ability of guys from different eras. Put them in a more more moderen era with the same training, equipment, training norms of that era's peers, they may very well be as good or even better than their established performance dictates.
I dont believe the moderen athelete is automatically better because they are bigger et al

not automatically ... but a good bet that he is.
give me a 5' 9", 175 pound great player from 50 years ago, and give me a 6'4" 230 pound great player from the last 10 years ... and I'm betting the 6' 4" guy will win most of those battles.
