In today's era against the current group of fighters(as in would they be contenders, alphabet champs, dominant etc)
(Note:Due to added weight classes, changes in weigh in rules etc, I've put some fighters in different divisions where I think they would fit in best today)
Floyd Patterson: 175 lbs
Benny Leonard: 130 lbs
Harry Greb: 154 lbs
Sam Langford: 168 lbs
Joe Gans: 126 lbs
Gene Tunney: 168 lbs
Jack Dempsey: 175 lbs
Charley Burley: 147 lbs
Jimmy Wilde: 108 lbs (I would have said 105, but I would like to see him vs Calderon)
Joe Louis: 200+ lbs (Could have made 200, but obviously debate about him at HW is more interesting)
not one of these fighters would stand a chance in todays era,they would not even be sparring partners, they would be local club fighters
