    In that case Floyd embarasses them.

    Pac beats all easily except Spence and Crawford who would be competitive.

    I don't think Cotto would beat Spence and Crawford.

    Plaster Margarito puts all of them in comas.

    Mosley had the power to make any fight interesting and could probably do some serious damage to the lesser former champs.

    Honestly can't tell how Bradley would do.

    Was put into a coma by Mosley

        Margarito!!!???? wtf??
        The older generation wins easily beacause there’s only one truly skilled fighter for the youngin’s and that’s BUD.

        How bout Mayweather, DelaHoya, Moseley, Pac & Cotto. A far better group.

              Manny Pedquiao is a legend so he can shoot up as much as he wants.

                  I have never liked the concept of a generation although I think I understand the meaning. The term is so vague. When does a generation start and end? Is it every 20 years or every 25 years or what. There is so much overlap with boxers constantly coming and going. For instance how is Bradley from an older generation when he is only about 4 years older than some guys in the so called new generation? From the fighters you listed I'll go with the older generation. Prime against prime I think Spence and Crawford are great and have a chance to beat anybody at 147. Guys like Vargas, Garcia and Porter don't have a chance in hell to beat prime Mayweather, Mosley or Pacquiao and a slim chance to beat a prime Cotto, Margarito or even Bradley in my opinion. The older generation racks up the most wins because overall they were better.

                    the top 3 fighters havent fought each other in the division and dont seem to have inclination to soon either. that tells you the difference between the two eras.

                      We wont agree because I honestly believe these WWs today are below average. The 2 good WWs - TC and Spence - would perform respectfully, but the rest are horrible.
