lloyd honeyghan against today's welterweights

[SCtrojansbaby]

Lol, because he beat better fighters? Come on now SC, you said none of the guys I named were top welters in the late 80's either. You just need to polish up up your history before making such claims bro. It's all good though!

Can you read? I said Mayweather Mcgirt and Davis were not top welterweight and that is because they weren't.

Mayweather's first fight at welter was in 1994
Mcgirt's first fight at welter was in 89
Aaron Davis was still a prospect he didn't fight for a title until 91

So yeah I think you're the one who needs to polish up bro

Do you even follow boxing? You need to do some research before opening your mouth sometimes. Are you really trying to say an era with Marlon Starling, Simon Brown, Mark Breland, Roger Mayweather, Buddy McGirt and Aaron Davis was terrible?

i see marlon all the time at the big fights around here

he looks great! he's always dressed to the nines in the coolest suits and hats you can imagine



to address the idea that the 80's was a weak WW era (without mentioning any of the names that came about later in the decade...)

leonard fought hearns for the first time as a WW in 81

fought duran for the first time (in a fight many consider one of the classiest showings ever for WW's,) at WW in '80
again for no mas in '80 in an immediate rematch


those are three first ballot HOFers fighting each other in their primes within the first two years of the decade...
and leonard and hearns were at their best at WW

[New England]

The past his prime Margarito that Manny faced is as good or better then Honeyghan and Curry.

i find it shocking that somebody who spends ample time around the sport could spit out such nonsense


you cannot be serious!


all margarito has going for him is size and one of the chins i've ever seen. otherwise he's pedestrian

Size and a chin is all he needs to be as good as Honeghan and Curry they are far from special

Sorry dude, but Junior Welter = Welter so both McGirt and Mayweather were top Welters in the late 80s. Old school 8 or they don't rate :bringit9:

welterweight is welterweight
light weltweight is light welterweight

One is 140 pounds the other is 147 they aren't the same, do you have mental issues or something?

brother you aint kidding

There are 8 legitimate weight classes:
Heavyweight
Light-Heavyweight
Middleweight
Welterweight
Lightweight
Featherweight
Bantamweight
Flyweight

Any "weight class" tagged with "Junior" or "Super" are bogus and illegitimate existing only to line the coffers of the Alphabet groups with sanctioning fees.

Now, since apparently comprehension isn't your strong suit, you might want to think twice about "mental issues" since it's pretty obvious you have your own personal struggles with "****** issues" :jerk0ff9:
