Assuming Mayweather retires, who do you think the 4 champions will be a year from now? Or maybe there'll be a twist and PBC belts will come into power. Dun dun dun...
Since most of the people here are mentioning the same half a dozen or so fighters, not sure this one will be new but...
WBO: Pac-man picks up May's vacated belt by beating Bradley.. again.
IBF: Brook, hope gets to defend against Khan
Then the WBA and WBC belt holders will be Thurman and Garcia.
I am kinda hoping Sadam Ali can beat Bradley and then get the fight with Pac instead...
Vargas, Thurman, Danny G, Brook
God I hope May and Pac retire this year.
:haha::haha::haha:
Brook, Khan, Thurman or Bradley
Crawford and Spence in 1 year? y'all gotta be kidding me. Spence won't step up his competition for another year atleast. Lucky has Floyd siding with him.
Crawford has a good 2 years of work left to do at 140. Good luck with Lucas & Lamont if they can hold that weight. He won't be at 147 any time soon.
Maidana - retired might make a 2016 comeback to challeneg Brook, Khan or Thurman. All three will have got bigheaded and Maidana will come to humble them.
D "gift" Garcia? :bounce: don't joke.
IBF -Brook he won't lose it, but will eventually move up
WBC - Errol Spencer beats Thurman or Porter for vacant strap
WBO - Mikey Garcia/Crawford whomever Arum feeds Pac to first
WBA - Garcia or Maidana if he isn't fighting at SMW by then, young lad is huge
If there will be separate PBC belts I seriously say that I won't give a **** any more about world title belts, I will only care about the fights themeselves because even this "4 world champion" system is ridiculous nobody needs a fifth one. There should be one single world champion/weight class to be honest.
I think PBC are trying to make one belt per division which will be contested solely by their roster of PBC fighters.
WBA- Maidana or Thurman, hopefully they fight for the vacate title as both are ranked in the top 3
WBC - Garcia will get shot at the vacate title, WBC have a hardon for him, he loses it quickly if matched hard though
IBF - Brook, will fight easy opponents in the UK, or will blast Khan out of there in the so called big fight
WBO - Bradley or Pacman, Arum does love the WBO

I agree with most of the list posted: Thurman, Crawford, Brook and Spence Jr
If Crawford stays at 140 for awhile then I agree with Sadam Ali, I think Ali can beat Bradley especially when Bradley is fighting stupid and wild
I wouldn't be shocked if Danny Garcia somehow ends up champion :dunno:
If Brook doesn't fight Mayweather in September, he'll still be champ.
I honestly don't see anyone at Welterweight beating him in the next 12 months and that includes Khan and Thurman.
However, I also believe that if he gets rid of Khan within long, he'll move to 154.
Pretty sad that Thurman is'nt even ranked considering his win over Zaveck a couple years ago put him in line to face Bradley.
He's technically a champion so he isn't ranked by any other sanctioning body except for the WBA
Can't believe no one has Maidana on their list!
I'm no Maidana fan but he beats most of the 147 fighters and yes he will get back in to shape.
You see Maidana lately? His next fight going to be at 160 or 154.
Matthysse
Brook
Errol Spence
Sadam Ali
Divide it up how you will... I think either Brook or Matthysse will have got to Thurman by next year!
I like keith he's is very well rounded with great power but I think his chin is an issue!
I feel Errol Spence will have picked up or been given a title by then against a game but overmatched opponent!
Sadam Ali similar, to spence I feel they'll give him a gimme, not a knock on the kid I think his potential is there!
Danny will probably be given an Al Haymon belt by next year and Khan will still be camped outside Floyds house begging for a fight while avoiding anybody with more that a feather duster in his gloves!!
