    Any one of the old fighters you mentioned(in their prime) although spans across a lot of time would beat any one of the current ones you listed. Gotta say though it is definitely a dynamic division.

    The current group of welters has more great fighters competing at the same time than any other era I recall, and most of them are still in their prime.

    I think that those guys you mentioned of this generation prime for prime could prob have a few of them beating Trinidad or Hoya, but I'm pretty confident Leonard Hearns and Duran could beat any of the currents.
