    Thumb me down if you want but I think a prime Margarito with his activity and concrete chin would have held his own against any era.

    I don't think ward would hold his own in the 90's super middleweight era I say he gets beat by Jones mcclellan Toney Mcallum Hopkins.Same goes for Golovkin vs past middleweight era.Lets be real the middleweight division has been a bit quiet since the hopkins days.


    Pacman
    Marquez
    Mayweather
    Rigondeaux

    Cant think of many others that beat the best of even the 90's.

    ward IMO is one of the most fundamentally complete fighters on film. he's a good inside fighter, and a good outside fighter. the only people i see beating him is b-hop and master jones

    Boxers of yesteryear that would dominate - just a few

    - Ali
    - Sugar Ray Leonard (WW to Middleweight)
    - Hearns (WW to Super Middleweight)
    - Hagler
    - RJJ - (Middle to Light Heavy)
    - Duran
    - Spinks (LH)

    Many others but can't think of them.

    Nah, he's not a future HOF, but he's extremely solid. As for Kovalev-Bhop I said several times before the fight that Kovalev would win easily. Bhop is 50 ffs, he's a senior citizen, how is he not old? People act like he didnt lose to Dawson already, mostly white Europeans.

    The further back you go, the worse it is for Floyd. How many fights fought exactly like Maidana, but with killer power back in the day? Floyd would have had problems with those.

    The rest of the guys listed do just as good if not better than nowadays.
