    De la Hoya, Mosley and Trinidad proved to be some of the better welterweights of the last twenty years. All three had some very impressive perofmances, De La Hoya and Mosley waged a classic fight at welterweight against each other and Trinidad and De La Hoya fought one of the more anticipated fights at welterweight against each other which resulted in being one of the more controversial decisions. But rarely do you here them being talked about as "greats" like Leonard, Hearns and Duran. What I'd like to here some opinions on is how would De La Hoya, Mosley and Trinidad stack up in there primes at welterweight against Leonard, Hearns and Duran. Is there any match up you an think of where you'd heavily favor De La Hoya, Mosley or Trinidad? Do you consider any of the three in the same league as great welterweights like Leonard, Hearns and Duran?

    I favour Mosley over Hearns no doubt.

    Oscar can beat anyone over 10, but his stamina will let him down down the stretch.

    Tito can stop anyone but is susceptible to footwork and power himself. But anyone he can beat.
