OLD 80s WW VS NEW 00s WW

[IMDAZED]

I'm not quite sure this group could best the 90's welters, let alone the 80's.

[Silencers]

Duran knocks Cotto out.

Leonard decisions Mosley.

Hearns knocks Williams out.

Whitaker decisions Mayweather. (Whitaker was not a welterweight in the 80s).

Mosley-Leonard p4p I think Mosley would win. He has something that Leonard didn't have... power. Leonard has speed and evasiveness but Mosley in his prime was the same exact way.

I'm getting really confused by people seeing things that were never there in these guys careers, during their fights, against people who were better.

Leonard no power? Ok. You also said you think Mosley breaks Leonard with his power? Now, I really have no idea what you're talking about with this one. The 'Duran can't take Cotto's body shots' was weird enough but where does this come from? In what fight did you see something that made you think that Mosley, of all people, would break Leonard down?

When was Leonard ever nearly broken down? At WW Mosley eats that jab all night long and never even gets close to hurting him with anything. You've got to be slicker than Mosley to get to Leonard enough to hurt him. You also need to be able to slip a jab or use your own to negate his and Mosley does neither. Watch their fights first.

Of course Mosley breaks SRL with his power SRL could barely handle Hearns power.

lol, go back to the drawing board. Hearn's power > Mosley's power.


The old champs beat all the current welterweights.

Read my other posts on this thread. I was completely sarcastic. If Tommys power doesnt break a WW he cant be broken.

I was actually thinking the same thing. All these odd things that keep popping up, like Williams boxing better than Tommy, Duran not taking body shots and slowing down at the end of a fight or Leonard being broken down by power.

I can't figure out where these thoughts came from? Which fight did someone see these things in because sure as hell haven't seen Williams box great, nor Duran hurt from body shots and wilting at the end of a fight nor Leonard ever even hurt really badly, let alone being broken down.

Whatever you think of Leonard, the one thing no one can argue is that he is not one of the toughest SOB's to ever fight. He had one hell of a chin and the heart to go along with it.

Oops, sorry then.

COTTO VS DURAN- Duran has too much fire and tenacity to be stopped at Welter by Miguel... (prime vs prime) Cotto will give it all he has but he'll find that Roberto just won't stop and he will win by UD (in a 12rounder) or 13th round stoppage by old standards.

SUGAR MOSLEY VS SUGAR RAY LEONARD- I actually think a prime Shane gives Leonard all he can handle. Mosley is quick and a lot stronger than most people give him credit for. Ray wouldn't be able to hurt Shane and since there wouldn't be much difference speed wise I think Shane takes this one. Where Thomas Hearns fell short Shane would shine. 11th round stoppage for the second sugar Mosley.

P DUB VS HITMAN HEARNS- Hitman was very accurate and difficult to fight. Paul's height might make it look close at first until Thomas finds the range and catches Williams with his devastating right cross at the beginging of the 8th. Win by KO for the Original Hitman Hearns.

MAYWEATHER VS WHITAKER- Chess match with the master defensive fighter only leads to a check mate Unanimous Decision by Sweet Pea.
