Best Welterweight Title Holder Poll!!!
WBA (Regular) - Keith Thurman (Collazo, Gurrero, and Chaves)
WBC - Danny Garcia (Peterson, Gurrero, Mattyese, and Khan)
IBF - Kell Brook (Porter and Senchenko)
WBO - Jessie Vargas (Saddam Ali)
I think it's Brock.
Then Thurman.
Then Danny (Best resume but I think he wouldnt look good vs Brook or Thurman..Thurman might have a shaky ish chin though and Danny to his credit has a good chin)
Porter last. Though I rank Porter last I can see him beating Danny...though I'd probably have that a 50/50. Danny is only not last just because of his resume to tell the truth.
I think Bradley can beat Porter and Danny but not the other two. Thurman seems a little too powerful for the manner of boxing Tim brings.. Brook seems smarter.. Porter and Tim would make either a great fight or a sloppy ugly one with arms flailing around and epic arm punches. Danny would get outworked and out boxed.
Danny knows how to win though (even if its with the help of judges) and despite what looks like being less skilled and slow he does have incredible composure. I don't favor Danny over any one on the list but he also gives a gut feeling that if he fought all four that it wouldn't be as we assume.
Khan's chin aside I like him vs Bradley and Porter. The others just hit too hard..
I'm not trying to hate on Tim but he's just too inconsistent of a boxer. I mean that as we never know when he's going to box smart or Khan it and get dumb. Luckily for him he's tough but to me Tim looks like he's been through a lot in the ring and there's something off about him now.
It'd be interesting to see if Cotto could still make 147..
And if Lucas and Maidana are still fighting 147 it makes things interesting. For some odd reason I think Matthysse would do well vs Brook and Porter not to mention Khan lol. Maidana vs Danny is a good scrap too.
147 is so nice yet we're only getting one of those matchups. :/
Not Crowning any of them, no reason why they shouldn't all eventually fight each other to find out who is the best Post Mayweather/Pacquiao ERA instead of it just be handed to one of them
I've gotta go with Garcia over the others on a better resume, albeit his best wins were at light welterweight. I think Bradley is the best in the division even though he doesn't hold a title.
Khan and Matts don't count for Danny's welterweight resume. I guess you can count Peterson cause that was at a catchweight
true but i was counting p4p resume
True but i was talking p4p resume
If that's the case then the obvious answer would be Danny Garcia. His wins over Matthysse, Khan and Peterson trump anything any other current title holder at 147 has done in their career.
Considering all the talent that dwells at 147, those resumes look rather anorexic. They all either have one good win and a bunch of lukewarm ones or just a bunch of "meh" wins.
True no good resumes
