Ali, Marciano, Dempsey, Louis, Johnson, would all be beaten easily by lewis and holfield
foster,moore,spinks would all be crushed by RJJ
monzon,hagler,ketchel,fullmer, would all be beaten by hopkins,jones and toney
ortiz, leonard and duran would be beaten by PBF and mosley
that's all IMO...
Some of that I agree with, BUT PBF beating Duran and Leonard?!

Hell Mosley would have a tuff time with both those guys and still lose.
mosley easily beats them..but i wasn't talking about SRL rather good ole benny...

Perhaps in some cases your right..
But just for the sake of arguement
Hagler gives Jones , bernard and toney a great deal of trouble..Even though i love them all
Leonard ..I dont know that floyd beats him or not.. But to say they destroy the old timers is way off
prime lennox destorys all of them toooooooooooooooo big and skillful they would hhave never seen the likes of him
