Floyd mayweather, manny paq, Oscar and Mosley are practically this generations Leonard, Hearns, Duran and hagler ..... Well almost, until floyd Nd PAC fight, then they would have all faced each other. So far all fights involving them against each other have been pretty good ( with the exception of PAC vs Mosley)......I think they have carried boxing pretty well , it's going to be a while till there is another ELITE group like that all in similar weight class.

IMO nobody is good enough to mimic these guys status' in boxing.
It was immense when these guys fought one and other. Nowadays..meh. -
I have to disagree with that one. Name wise in the sport maybe but as far as making quality of fights not even close.Comment

I consider Mosley and DLH from a different "era". Sure, they faced Mayweather and Pacquiao but they were way past their prime. I would divide in two groups.
I would put Trinidad (Hearns), DLH (Leonard), Mosley (Duran), and Hopkins (Hagler) in one.
Mayweather, Pacquiao, Cotto, and maybe Martínez as the current one.
Still, neither group is comparable to the 80's one. I also believed that Wilfred Benítez deserved to be included in that group.Comment
