Obar Carr in today's welterweight division

.............I see nothing special at all in either Margarito or Williams. He beats them both. I think Quintana would be a bad fight to watch, with Carr eventually winning a decision.


I think the other three beat him. The only one that has an outside shot at stopping him is Cotto. The other two don't stop fighters at this weight.

 

I'd take Mayweather, Mosley, and Cotto over Carr. But they wouldn't have an easy time with him; all would drop some rounds in the process.

Other than that, I'd say he definitely outboxes the likes of Quintana, Margarito, Cintron, and the rest of the lower top 10 guys. They're all good fighters, just not that good. I have no doubt that Carr would be a solid top 5 guy now. This isn't exactly the late 1990s division we're talking about.

 

Yes, double click the grey area around the next, but don't click on the thread title itself.

 

Win a strap and then lose it after two title defences, he's nothing special either.

 

i take carr over most of the contenders.

but he loses to cotto, mayweather and margo. maybe even the old version of mosley, but im not sure.

 

Carr would have the same problem he had in the 90's, he couldn't beat the top guys. He was always a very good fighter who came up short when he fought the elite.

 

Mosely is a great fighter with longevity. You can't say that fighters are less than elite because of age. Cotto, PBF, Margarito and such are great fighters. I believe the WW division is very deep, and you guys are overrating fighters of the 90's. ODLH, Tito, Quartey and such are great, no doubt, but this era compares quite favorably to them and could go down with just as much fanfare as the 90's era.

 

let me put it this way: the top guys of the ninetees that oba couldnt beat were felix trinidad, oscar delahoya and ike quartey.

so what???

which welter of today beats any of them??? pbf.........maybe. who else???

to me, no one, not even cotto.

 

Oba Carr also lost to an old Raphael Pineda, he seriously inst that great. He only beat chop chop corley and yori boy campas, thats about it.
