This generation of welterweights vs the last.

Spence, Crawfold, Thurman, Garcia, Porter, Vargas vs Mayweather, Pacquiao, Cotto, Margarito, Mosley, Bradley ...assuming each fighter has to fight all the fighters at the opposing team, at their primes, which team racks up the most wins and why.I have never liked the concept of a generation although I think I understand the meaning. The term is so vague. When does a generation start and end? Is it every 20 years or every 25 years or what. There is so much overlap with boxers constantly coming and going. For instance how is Bradley from an older generation when he is only about 4 years older than some guys in the so called new generation? From the fighters you listed I'll go with the older generation. Prime against prime I think Spence and Crawford are great and have a chance to beat anybody at 147. Guys like Vargas, Garcia and Porter don't have a chance in hell to beat prime Mayweather, Mosley or Pacquiao and a slim chance to beat a prime Cotto, Margarito or even Bradley in my opinion. The older generation racks up the most wins because overall they were better.

:rofl:Manny Pedquiao is a legend so he can shoot up as much as he wants. :lol1:

Doesnt that apply to Manny also? He was ko'ing everybody > then he started drug testing and NO MORE KO'S until he fought in MALAYSIA under a less than average if, any drug testing, then mysteriously his power returned vs Matthysse. :scared: Manny Pedquiao is a legend so he can shoot up as much as he wants.

But that was after his power source was taken away. Doesnt that apply to Manny also? He was ko'ing everybody > then he started drug testing and NO MORE KO'S until he fought in MALAYSIA under a less than average if, any drug testing, then mysteriously his power returned vs Matthysse. :scared:

Was put into a coma by Mosley:boxing: But that was after his power source was taken away.

Margarito!!!???? wtf?? The older generation wins easily beacause there’s only one truly skilled fighter for the youngin’s and that’s BUD. How bout Mayweather, DelaHoya, Moseley, Pac & Cotto. A far better group.

Well the current era doesnt even want to fight eachother.. And the older generation were not natural Welterweights True words here!

By prime do we mean plaster Margarito? In that case Floyd embarasses them. Pac beats all easily except Spence and Crawford who would be competitive. I don't think Cotto would beat Spence and Crawford. Plaster Margarito puts all of them in comas. Mosley had the power to make any fight interesting and could probably do some serious damage to the lesser former champs. Honestly can't tell how Bradley would do. Was put into a coma by Mosley:boxing:

I have to agree with you because I'm 100% sure floyd will duck them all. :haha: Floyd fought more world champions and former world champions than ANYONE in boxing and beat THEM ALL:boxing:

Pacquiao, Mayweather, Cotto, Clottey, P Williams, Margarito (edit: Mosley) - You can add Bradley and Marquez here (they came late) but above names are enough for me to decide that former era of WW is better than this era. vs. :newbie: Spence, Crawford, Thurman, D Garcia, Porter and Kell - Of course i'll give these younger fighters a chance but most of them are in near/30's and still not fighting each other.

He wont fight them at 147 he wants a CW with a 135 guy, the top WWs with no CW will beat the snot out of Manny right now. Change your diapers old man.

Complete ****. Even current Pac gives these guys a handful. He wont fight them at 147 he wants a CW with a 135 guy, the top WWs with no CW will beat the snot out of Manny right now.

Like somebody above said, outside of Floyd and Pacman who weren't even real welters and got by on skill, this group of welters are better.

Danny, Keith, and Shawn are Berto level fighters...maybe Ghost level. None of them would've bothered Cotto, Shane, Floyd, or Manny. TC and Spence would've beaten a couple of them with TC winning more. TC is best current WW Did you not see what Thurman did to Guerrero? And you know Porter has fought Berto (actually, you probably don't)?

I have to agree with you because I'm 100% sure floyd will duck them all. ... didn't he ducked Porter, Brook, and (even) Khan?... :)

The current welterweight crop is extremely weak You are trying to compare one of the better welterweight eras with one of the weakest. Isn’t really a fair comparison Exactly what this guy said

Complete ****. Even current Pac gives these guys a handful.

Everybody except Mayweather would get beat. This era of welterweights is actually what welterweights look like. A 5'5-5'6 guy is hardly ever a real welterweight in most cases. I have to agree with you because I'm 100% sure floyd will duck them all.

More like real WWs step in on fight night close to 160 lbs, the last crop all came from much lower weights and were lucky to hit 150 fight night. For todays crop where they are natural WWs to emulate the last group they need to make big noise at 154-160 if they don't the last lot were better.
