Best Welterweight Trio: Our Era vs. 80's Era

[-EX-]

Floyd and Shane(in his prime) are the only ones who would stand a chance against the welters of the 80's. I doubt Cotto could beat any of the guys up there unless he was able to catch Hearns with something big lol.

They would stomp/or make look foolish Williams, Margarito,etc.

[Roque_sevilla]

Team 1

Sugar Ray Leonard
Roberto Duran
Tommy Hearns


Team 2

Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Miguel Cotto
Margarito, Williams, or Mosley (pick anyone for the 3rd fighter - This Era Only... or another of the top 10 you like)

Sugar Ray Vs Money May...flash against flash; Sugar Ray UD IMO Definitely i fight i would like to see...also Cotto-Duran
Roberto Duran Would eat the heart of Cotto for all night if they had fought
And easier...Tommy Hearns would kick the hell of Margarito, Williams and maybe also a win over Shane

[THE REED]

if floyd is the one who stands the chance.. how can cotto beat him?

if floyd is the one who stands the chance.. how can cotto beat him?

By doing what he does best; punch the living **** out of people

[ReadyUp]

If they were on teams... which team would win?

You can match them up anyway you want...
but they can only fight once, each...

Team 1

Sugar Ray Leonard
Roberto Duran
Tommy Hearns


Team 2

Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Miguel Cotto
Margarito, Williams, or Mosley (pick anyone for the 3rd fighter - This Era Only... or another of the top 10 you like)


**Note: Doesn't have to be 2008 our era... For example: You could use the 2001 version of 147 Shane Mosley.. thats still out era...**

You would have had a closer poll using De La Hoya, Trinidad, and Mosley at Welter.

[ReadyUp]

I think you would have had a closer poll matching the welters from now against the ones from the 90's (DLH, Quartey, Trinidad, Whitaker, etc.).

DAMNNIT! You beat me to it.

[niceguy45]

never ever compare the 80's with today's ERA no contest

[THE REED]

I just wanted to really put it in perspective.. i aways hear how deep our ww division is... but it doesnt even hold a candle... even floyd might not beat leanord

Its tought to compare the too because the older WW's fought at lighter weights. You could literally match those guys up against todays jrWW's and LW's.

24-36 prefight weigh-in's would allow them all to drop a Minimum of one weight class. Now imagine the jrMW's and MW's of that era against todays WW's and you'll see an truly loopsided picture. Hagler vs Cotto-PBF-Margarito.........no contest.......**** Hagler would fold Paul Williams like a folding chair.

[Emon723]

my favorite welter era was the 90s too, dela hoya, quartey and trinidad, count whitaker in, who lost a close decision to DLH.

90s vs 00s

WBC: Dela hoya over Mayweather by decision
WBA: Quartey over Cotto by decision
IBF: lets say Margarito beats Cintron come April 12th. Trinidad by KO over Margarito.
