    Thurman, Guerrero, Garcia and Porter. Don't get me wrong they are putting on fun fights but I don't think they win a SINGLE fight vs any of the following.

    * ODLH
    * Tito Trinidad
    * Ike Quartey
    * Marlon Starling
    * Donald Curry
    * Lloyd Honeyghan
    * Sugar Shane Mosely
    * Oba Carr
    * Terry Norris

    I thought Norris was a full fledged Jr.MW? Anyways Thurman, Porter and Garcia would have great shots against any of the past WW greats. Styles make fights.

    Put forward an argument for a fight you think they could win. Would love to see the reasoning.

    De La hoya always struggled against guys that could give him movement back, i.e. Thurman and porter specifically. YOU look at a guy like a Starling who had problems with guys who could punch and had a great jab like a Donald Curry. Today's fighters have evolved and are very highly skilled fighters. Carr wasn't very difficult if you can get inside on him, Shane would be difficult for anybody, same with oscar.tito and Quartey are beatable with good skill and punch resistance, and honeygram? Cmon he had that British glass. And I hope you're not one of those Garcia haters, that won't listen to reason?
