How would Canelo and Jacobs do at 160 in the 80's and 90's?

[FinitoxDinamita]

Both Jacobs and Canelo get beat easily. The same goes for GGG. Although they all might beat Hopkins with random Olympic style drug testing and a legit referee that deducts points or stops the fight due to his flagrant fouling.

I dislike the older Hopkins but he was a different beast in the 90s. He was an offensive killer.

Mike McCallum gives them both all they can handle. Hopkins/Jones/Toney beat them both.

Hopkins vs Canelo would be fun to watch

Hopkins turned Joppy into an elephant man and same would happen to Canelo.

But Toney was never great at middleweight. When he was at middleweight he fought absolute bums.
SD against Merqui Sosa?
Knocked down by Reggie Johnson?
In his 22nd fight he was fighting fighters making their debut.
He was way behind against Nunn, but got the KO.
The same Nunn who had recently been struggling with Iran Barkley and Marlon Sterling (a welterweight).

They would slaughter every one of those old time bums.

Just kidding.

Hard to say as people only show whom they are under distress and with best opposition in front of you. I believe they would do great, the canelos, sergio martinez', golovkins, jacobs. There is just not that many greats for these guys to show off their talent and when they do get matched, its 1 sided because these guys dont wanna get hit.

Not to good

[Mr Objecitivity]

Typical over glorifying of past era boxers whilst severely underrating modern era boxers. It's very common! Nostalgia at it's finest!

[McNulty]

Terry Norris and Julian Jackson were flaoting around then too. Very dangerous time for those weights.
