This generation of welterweights vs the last.

[mosquito3]

The current welterweight crop is extremely weak

You are trying to compare one of the better welterweight eras with one of the weakest. Isn’t really a fair comparison

Exactly what this guy said

[MDPopescu]

I have to agree with you because I'm 100% sure floyd will duck them all.

... didn't he ducked Porter, Brook, and (even) Khan?...

[Bjl12]

Barring May and Pac, this crop is better.

Danny, Keith, and Shawn are Berto level fighters...maybe Ghost level. None of them would've bothered Cotto, Shane, Floyd, or Manny.

TC and Spence would've beaten a couple of them with TC winning more.

TC is best current WW

Did you not see what Thurman did to Guerrero? And you know Porter has fought Berto (actually, you probably don't)?

[John Locke]

Like somebody above said, outside of Floyd and Pacman who weren't even real welters and got by on skill, this group of welters are better.

[Reloaded]

Complete ****.

Even current Pac gives these guys a handful.

He wont fight them at 147 he wants a CW with a 135 guy, the top WWs with no CW will beat the snot out of Manny right now.

Change your diapers old man.

By prime do we mean plaster Margarito?

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.

[gamesworn]

Pacquiao, Mayweather, Cotto, Clottey, P Williams, Margarito (edit: Mosley)

- You can add Bradley and Marquez here (they came late) but above names are enough for me to decide that former era of WW is better than this era.

vs.


Spence, Crawford, Thurman, D Garcia, Porter and Kell

- Of course i'll give these younger fighters a chance but most of them are in near/30's and still not fighting each other.

[HURTFEELINGS]

I have to agree with you because I'm 100% sure floyd will duck them all.

Floyd fought more world champions and former world champions than ANYONE in boxing and beat THEM ALL
