Which generation is better?

[Spicoli]

Of that lot, old school.

[FinitoElDinamita]

Old generation no questions asked. Dude, murray and those guys are not even elite.. They belong on ESPN.

I'd give Barker, Murray, Macklin and Lee a great chance against Benn... If they fought him on the same night at the same time. Good night.

as someone has already touch on, its very easy to look back on yesteryear with a nostalgic eye and should how good it was back then

like the leonard, hagler, hearns, duran how amazing they were, but i dont think they are any better than some of the fighters we have had around that weight over the last 10 years, it was just the rivalries and the personalities all at the same time that made it look all that much better

then ali being the best HW of all time, he was certainly the best HW for television of all time

the benn eubank era was a better quality than the 4 we have today tho mind, the 4 we have today are good conenders, all would make a good defence for the champs where as benn, eubank, watson and collins were genuine world class fighters

I think Collins was the weakest of the 4 and a fight with "irish man" Macklin would be a barnstormer.

Definitely.. Today's fighters can beat Collins.

perhaps but i think collins was a bit underrated because he came around at the right time in terms of catching benn and eubank

i think he would have given them a fight at any stage and i dont think any of todays 4 are as good

they would probably have the best chance against collins because collins wasnt a big puncher
