I think Spence, Crawford, Prime Thurman, Ennis, and Ortiz would beat the WWs in the 90s

    Odd thread considering Floyd and Pac beat them all.

    Prime Thurman was pretty good but I'd still favor about half of those boxers to put a dominant whooping on him. Crawford and Spence can hold their own but I wouldn't expect them to go undefeated against those ten. Also I haven't seen enough from Boots to throw him into the conversation.

    Oscare DLH and Felix Trinidad are considered 90's too and I know for sure they beat Thurman and Porter and maybe Spence. Crawford beats them all though in my opinion.

    Holy moly the slobbering over Thurman is out of this world. Same goes for the unproven and fight-once-a-year ww's who aside from Porter never want to fight each other. ODLH is in another league from Thurman, he "struggled with lesser opponents" really? Your lack of boxing IQ is atrocious.
    Thurman:
    Exposed by Collazo, glass body. By Collazo. Guess who's got a vicious left hook? You idiot.
    Barely eked past Porter. I had Porter winning when I watched it live. Pissed me off and I did not think Thurman deserved the win or hype.
    Again, eeked out a win against the super-lightweight Danny Garcia, whom many said would be too small for WW when he moved up. Debatable. Talk about "struggled with lesser fighters" Thurman's whole resume is of him struggling.
    Who's next? JOSESITO LOPEZ? Josesito can bang and rocked Thurman's world, the blown up super lightweight now fighting way up past his prime.
    Then Pacquiao wipes the floor with him. Nothing debatable allowed here and we got the result everyone expected.
    Lastly, Thurman proved dominant over Gervonta Davis' leftovers. Wow, so impressive.

    Use your ****ing "boxing IQ" and tell me how, how, is Thurman better than ODLH in any world? Because he beat Diego Chavez for an interim belt?
    I am usually the last person to respond to trolls or to defend fishnets but this is just too stupid to ignore. Congrats.

    But at the same time, boxers today have more film at their disposal to study from the past greats.

    Oscar never defeated a "prime" WW like Thurman IMO.

    Thurman was better than Ike IMO. He would be just another Kell Brook in this era

    Trinidad, Delahoya, Rivera, Quartey, Carr, Lopez, Whitaker, Hurtado, Yori Boy, Shane Mosley?. They fought everyone.

    Good luck I guess.

    your opinions are ****. nothing but ****. the responses youve gotten should be enough to tell you they are nothing but ****. i usually just ignore **** opinions cause there are dozens of posters who know about as much as you do...****. but it seems that youre getting the idea that youre somehow making points. you aint. you need to understand that you dont know wtf youre talking about, so stop pretending you do.
    if youre a troll that knows hes just talking out his ass for a reaction, then good job, youre a better troll than most here, carry on.

    In DLH/Trinidad/Quartey's time Thurman would have been Oba Carr's sparing partner.

    None of these guys ran into someone like Quartey or Trinidad or Mosley. Imagine Thurman vs Mosley? Mosley would've dusted him. Oskee and Tito would have kod him as well. The tapes are right there.

    Thurman ended up being not very good after all. Let’s be real here. He’s never beaten anyone of note.
