No the hell it isn't. Today's era just has more notable fighters, but deeper=/=better.
I'll take Tito, Oscar, Mosley, Forrest, Whitaker, Chavez, Norris, Quartey, Mayorga, and even Oba Carr over today's Welterweights.
fukk nostalgia, that don't mean shyt to me. I'm not some bitter old nikka, I call it like I see it. The competition is not better now than it was back then. You just caping to hard for Floyd.
Cut it out man

Aside from Floyd, and maybe Manny, how many of these welterweights is fukking with the ones 15 years ago? You think the rest of these nikkas could fukk with a Forrest or a Quartey? Hell no. shyt even Oba Carr would wreck most these nikkas, and he wasn't even really a Top WW.
And most of the Welterweights today aren't even real Welters. Majority of them are Junior Welterweights masquerading as Welterweights. They really belong at 140, not 147.
shyt even the Top Welterweights (Floyd, Manny, Marquez) aren't real Welterweights either. Their best years were at the lower weights.
I guess since everything is better these days, you gonna say the Heavyweight division is better now than it was 15 years ago, right?
Quartey's only loss at WW came to De La Hoya (and one can argue he didn't really lose). Ain't no DLH's in today's division.
) How many Mayorgas are there in today's division? Hardly any.

Forrest as a WW only lost to Mayorga (And one could argue Forrest won the 2nd fight). And Mayorga was a big, strong WW (he was a MW before coming down to WW) with great power and a great chin (before Tito ruined it
Not saying those guys were ATGs, but they were more talented as a whole than the guys around today. Forrest would rule today's WW division IMO.
I'm not jumping to extremes with the HW. I'm using your own words on how the skills and condition is better today. Wouldn't that be the case for every division?
Not saying the division is trash, because it isn't. There's talent there and some fighters on the come up like Thurman and Porter that I really like. But compared to the WW's of 10-15 years ago (who were actual WW's), there's really no competition. The Top WWs of the 90's >>> Today's Top WWs
Lmao the glove kept him up which is why if you glove touches to canvas it's ruled a knockdown. Their feet never touched. There are more replays that show the feet never touch that was clearly a knockdown.
