If they had the same technique they have to day but fought back then I think they would also not have the 'inside' fighting advantage as the large majority of fighters, and that includes the classic boxers, were much, much better at fighting inside. They had as many tricks inside as Hopkins and Mayweather do now which would negate the advantage they would normally have over some of the top guys today like Cintron, Cotto etc etc.
There were more fighters that were, as an example, like Mosley, to use someone that beat Marg without batting an eyelid. They were boxers but fought inside better than the 'inside' fighters do today.
Either way, I don't think anyone of them would actually have been a champion. High rated contender maybe, but no more. High rated contender then is the same as an ABC champ today mind you.
