I doubt any of todays fighters 147-154 beat a 19 year old 1980 Tony Ayala Jr

A prime Trinidad at 154 would have a chance to win in my opinion. Tito was a monster at 154. I am not saying he would win. I am saying he might win. He was a 154 pound boxer who hit like a good punching light heavyweight.His left hook had the power to take out either of them. Trinidad was a world welterweight champion at age 20 and he never lost a fight at 147 or 154.Leonard himself called Trinidad a great fighter and said Trinidad would be a dangerous opponent for himself. I think Hearns was better than Leonard at 154 and Hearns never lost at 154 either.

No. Those two were truly special.

Mayweather outboxes both of them at 147.

Put the pipe,alcohol or needle down.Mayweather, with his pot-shots couldn't beat either of them in his wettest of dreams.Couldn't get inside Hearns' jab and SRL could do anything May could and had the power to stop him which he lacked.

Stylistically he has a chance against Hearns because of the vulnerability, but I would doubt it. I think Tito himself would get plastered by the jab and get taken out within 6-8 rounds, but he has a punchers chance.

Trinidad isn't getting anywhere near Leonard, and if he did SRL had more than solid whiskers. I think he outboxes him similar to Oscar, just with more dominance.

The only two I can think of are Oscar and Tito. Both were big welters and strong at 154 too. Oscar was obviously more skilled than Tito and had a terrific power jab, so he could go after someone like Hearns and even hurt him, but can he sustain it?

SRL pretty much beats everyone but would have great fights, especially with someone like Pac.
