Would never see a catch like that "back in the day", although I accept that there are cameras everywhere these days.
Modern day fielders are athletes.

That said there were one or two decent fielders from the 70s/80s, Derek Randall being one. He often got the call for England, even when struggling with the bat, because of his ability fielding.

I remember many outfielders though were so out of shape/immobile.
Remember Colin Milburn, only had one eye as well after an accident. He was carrying some timber.
