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

    Porter and Garcia were good wins. Mainly Porter actually.

    Thoughts?

    1. You’re trolling.

    2. You need to add ‘No’ to the start of your username.

    Guy said Thurman was better than Ike.

    Hahaha! What a troll.

    Do the same comparisons with today’s MW’s and SMW’s, with the ones from the 90’s.

    In fact, go back and compare today’s WW’s with the ones from the 80’s.

    I’m not even joking here, I genuinely hope for your own sake that you’re trolling.

    Bolt also have the advantage of starting blocks which allow for a more explosive start. Owens just missed out of the era of starting blocks.

    Running shoes these days are also not just lighter but the advancement of PEBA foams such as Nike's ZoomX foam means a shoe that is more responsive and energy efficient meaning more return of power for each stride.

    Good not great. That era of welters is pretty underwhelming.

    Bud would beat Tito, Whitaker and DLH and maybe Ortiz and Ennis but not Spence or Thurman, would have been some top 10 list if they all peaked in the same decade though and a few of the rematches would probably have a different outcome to in my opinion.
