It's kinda hard to make some logical arguments in some of these match ups cause in reality we haven't seen much from today's WW's...

Both fought MW's and got KTFO in 5/6 so fook it m8, do it at the 02
1) He's the more quiet of the two and more skilled.
2) Khan denied me of a pic with him saying he would be back cause his bro was about to fight. Which was true but he never kept his word.
To this day I still use that as an excuse to root against him.

Originally posted by Thraxox View PostThe roster back in the day 8-9 years ago were
Antonio Margarito
Paul Williams
Joshua Clottey
Miguel Cotto
Shane Mosley
Kermit Cintron
vs Today's Welterweights
Errol Spence
Terrence Crawford
Danny Garcia
Keith Thurman
Amir Khan
Kell Brook
Which roster would win (Please discuss with logical view points)
Other than that, I can't even see the best of the lot (Crawford, who is actually 140 but whatever) beating the worst of the previous group, who was Clottey.
People are forgetting, those guys weren't just hard hitting and battle tested, they were big compared to most modern guys.

Thurman has one note worthy fight, Brook has one, Porter has a whopping 2 lol
Spence can probably match the older guys for size but is completely unproven.
Garcia...well he has Guerrero, whatever that means.
It's sad that all these guys range from 25-30 and apart from Khan and Garcia, don't even have an established career.
Pathetic.
Btw, why isn't Bradley being mentioned? He is clearly the best welter not names May or Pac.

Overall great thread. Should have broken it up into like 5 different threads with like how would Margarito do against today's ww.
I give the edge to 08 but we're talking a lot off different match up and I'm too lazy to do the math.

Mosley was 5'9'', Marg as what, 5'10/11 and Williams was 6 foot. Cintron was a big lad too. Clottey as well, probably 5'9'', I remember he dwarfed Pacquiao.
Brook and Spence at 5'9'' are the only guys who are comparable and neither of them are truly tested, especially Spence.
