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

[aussieboxer2320]

it also depends on the length of the bout 15 or 12 rnds....however over 12 i still believe duran leonard and hearns would beat all the others around today, probably stop them too, maybe decisioning mayweather, although i thinbk floyd could maybe them to draws, but if duran or hearns landed some solid shots.....well you know how that would turn out

[BattlingNelson]

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 could put Wilfried Benitez in team 80 as well. He was probably the most gifted of them all. He just didnt prepare. Without no more than a weeks prep. he took Leonard 15 rounds and giving him hell. With proper training he might have been the greatest of them all.

But with Benitez or without, team 80 wins a shut-out IMO.

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.

In No Part of De La Hoya Career would he beat Mayweather...

IF he couldnt beat Floyd when he Had all the Adv.

What makes you think he would beat Floyd when thay both at 147 equally....

[bestboxingonly]

the 80s for sure... not only 80s music>>>90s et. al.

Ok, who were the couple who put Team 2? C'mon, on up.

Sometimes people think too much emphasis is placed on the slightly older eras and that the guys of today are just as good....but, it just isn't true. The first Team would beat the second one really quite easily.

First of all, the only guy that would beat Tommy would be Leonard...even that would a three out of five match up. Leonard would beat Mayweather...actually Leonard would beat all of them...actually, all of the first team would beat all of the second team. If we're talking primes here and in their best conditions of course.

SRL vs. PBF -- SRL 15 round SD
Duran vs. Cotto -- Duran TKO w/in 4
Hearns vs. Mosley -- Hearns 15 round UD

I think PBF is the only one that can beat any of the 80' welters, I'd take him over Duran and Hearns, but SRL is a legend.

lol bro PBF is good......but him beatin duran and hearns lol be serious
