How would a prime Vinny Pazienza fair in the WW-JMW divisions today?

Vinnie, that mamaluke, was a mug.

I think he would be a contender and maybe win a world title belt if a lesser fighter had that belt. He would not beat the best fighters fighting today at those weights but he probably wouldn't be KOed because he was very hard to knock out.

Two time world champ, fought in 147-154. How would he do today? I'd say he would steam roll through Floyd he had the balls to fight a prime Roy Jones who I think was one of the best P4P ever. I'm talking prime here not after Tarverc

Coo coo. How would he fair today at 140? it would come down to styles. he's ceratinly not an insurmountable great at 135-140 that would just roll through the division, like aaron pryor. he was a solid boxer. he used the ring a lot before he moved up in weight.

135 - 140 lbs. lots of people thought he was all done before he beat gilbert dele for a JMW belt. Coo coo. How would he fair today at 140?

What would he be? 135 - 140 lbs. lots of people thought he was all done before he beat gilbert dele for a JMW belt.

paz' best weight was actually lightweight / 140. he was a good boxer, had some snap, and was tough. he broke his neck in a car accident after moving to JMW, and eventually ended up at 168 lbs through weight lifting.

Prime Vinny Pazienza wouldn't be a welterweight. What would he be?

Vinny had a high workrate but I don't think he'll rise to the cream of the crop at 47 or 54. His fight with Mayweather is a classic, Roger took him apart. Really frustrated Vinny

Prime Vinny Pazienza wouldn't be a welterweight.

No. He was like a Hatton/Malignaggi love child without substance, mostly flash with a lack of boxing IQ. He doesn't beat anyone relevant. Good input.

Care to elaborate? Good enough to beat any of the champs in either division? Top ten contender? No. He was like a Hatton/Malignaggi love child without substance, mostly flash with a lack of boxing IQ. He doesn't beat anyone relevant.
