This, unfortunately. What will be interesting is which entity gets to Kell Brook first.
i guess that kell is "the chosen one" since he's the only one who can possibly unify the division. that alone is almost a strong enough reason to root for him
Thurman for now.
No clear cut favorite.
Bradley Jr., Brook, Porter, Khan are all right there.
Danny Garcia will work his way in there.
Looking forward to the next year or so.
Hoping Imam & Crawford come up to get in the mix as well
there will be a pbc champ and a hbo champ, like in most of the other divisions
This, unfortunately. What will be interesting is which entity gets to Kell Brook first.
Pacquiao should automatically be no.1 and Bradley two.
Then it's all up for grabs between Brook, Khan, Porter, Thurman, Alexander, Garcia and possible new comer Spence.
These guys can make each other great like Pac/MAB/Morales/JMM did or SRL/Hearns/Hagler/Duran/Benitez did.
It's time for all the talking to stop and someone to show they are the best.
My money is on Thurman for now, want to see him vs Porter. The winner of that match up would likely be in the driver seat in that Division going into the future. Also think Kell Brook is a talent but he can't just live on his win over Porter, he has to come to the US and take on the rest!
I think Errol Spence is going to become the dominant force at 147. Khan has the all the ability and talent in the world to rule 147 but that's only if he can motivate himself properly.
I think Spence has he best future at 147 pounds and I think he will beat any welterweight he fights. He is willing to fight them all but I don't think some of the top welterweights want to fight him. He is 25 and entering his prime. He is ready for any welterweight right now. Today. Brook, Thurman and Porter are all good and Maidana and Pacquiao are still good. Bradley and Garcia seem past prime for some reason and I don't think Khan will ever be near the best and his chin is as weak as it ever was.
My guess is a 3 way race between Crawford, Spence, and Ali. But this is going to be the deepest division in the sport for the next 3-5 years guaranteed. Most everybody's young and coming into their prime.
