Kenshiro was a badass moralfag, Kirito is just a scrawny self instert character who gets all the ladies for absolutely no fucking reason.

Skinny teens are the cool kids now, not the over grown man looking bullies people modeled them off of in the 80s.
Its an improvement, I'm not going to believe a fucking 18 year old looks built like a Ox. Besides that skinny teen with super powers and don't give a fuck attitude is cooler.

Pretty sure Hokuto No Ken was a kids show in Japan.

Japanese male attractiveness standards happened. Over the last 15 years or so, it started to become more popular for men to have feminine features. So naturally, modern character designs reflect that, and all the heroes are basically tomboys with penises. Kirito in SAO is the perfect example of this, as he goes from "feminine looking dude" to shemale.

Characters that are more easily related to garner a larger fan-base, ie, more cash for studios, publishers, etc. GG, money.
