If this decades welters were to face off against those of the eighties

That was very very easy.

 

Yeah, but to be fair, we're talking about the elite of the elite vs a pretty good WW era. It's like asking who wins between a lion and a bobcat.

 

Because...bobcats are really wicked, just not...hell I don't know how I came up with that. Sounded right when I said it to myself before posting it.

 

SRL UD FM
Duran KO 12 Pac

SRL TKO 9 Oscar
Duran KO 10 Marg
Duran KO 7 Cotto
Hearns KO 8 PW
Duran UD Trinidad

 

I see the '80s fighters winning every fight. It's not really a fair matchup. You can make the argument that all three '80s fighters are top 10 H2H in their prime.

 

I actually think that some of those fights you listed, would make fairly decent match-ups. Although I am more partial to the 80's group from a legacy standpoint, I don't think that the margins are all that wide in a head to head sense.

 

Elaborate.

 

We're just pitching two Welterweight era's off against eachother. If Duran, Hearns, and Leonard were all from different era's...then it would be unfair. As things stand, those guys were just that bloody good.

 

Well, Addie, it's not just one era vs another. It's the Duran, Hearns and Leonard era! There's no "just" about it.

 

A shut out for the 80's fighters.
