    Would Modern Era WelterWeight Greats Made it Back in Robinson and Lamottas Days?

    Take Mosley, Delahoya, Trinidad, Cotto, Mayweather, and Pacquiao and put them back in the 40s would they have made it?

              Of course alot of the dudes back then fought out of necessity while still holdind down a real job.Those guys def daved the way but SRL was a beast hand speed 2nd 2 none, Money May perfected the shoulder roll into a puch tech., Sweet Pea's dip game crazy, Dela was a perfect(complete) fighter in my veiw. Pac...well you see he's getting pretty much everybody outta there with either hand and all angles.Pre margarito Cotto, Mosley and Trinidad too but they dont bring any intangibles to the table that would separate them from the rest of the pack
