Re: What fighter from the 60's - 80's could dominate the division today if in prime?
i can see for the heavyweight division ruled again by the 80's Tyson, 70's Ali, whoo golden era of the heavyweights vs. the force of nature then Mike Tyson, I love it.
at welterweight, im not so sure if SRL can beat PBF, should be a hell of a match.
Middleweight now that B-Hop is gone, can easily be owned by Hagler. 2000 version of B-Hop can beat any version of Marvelous, IMO.
Lightweight no brainer, Duran would dominate.
Super Welterweight, may belong to Tommy but an inspired Dela Hoya may pull this one out.

Dominate is a strong word. The heavyweight division can be dominated, but some of the other weight classes are as strong as ever . all the way up to 160 is tops ! others from the past fit right in the mix but dominate, I think not. Kostya Tszyu would have taken any of the oldies . PBF would beat alot of the oldies. Roy Jones would beat alot of the oldies. JMO...

I'm sure a lot would disagree with you about Marvin.
IMO Ray too smart for Floyd.
Oscar would have to get Tommy out of there early,and i concede he had the left hook to do it but the longer this
fight goes the more i favor That Wrecking Ball Right Hand. Hearns TKO 10.
