King of The Welterweights Tournament

Interesting how small are welterweights nowadays. Smaller but look more muscular, of course. But I don`t think they are stronger than guys from the past.

They look good because they are on the same level. Compare these guys with Cotto, Margarito, Williams and Clottey from 2007 -2010. Or with prime de la Hoya, prime Mosley, Trinidad? I do not even mention Hearns or Duran. But it's 2017 and right now in 1 weight class there is about 12 guys that are competitive in this same year. They may not be the greatest but they are climbing the ladder. Trinidad is 1 of my all time favorites and Hearns. With these fighters it would be competitive with some of today's fighters: Clottey, Williams and cotto but I see de la Hoya, Moseley, Duran a little overrated...and margarito was a punching bag.

This is not true. WW is loaded with good fighters. Name 10 top fighters from WW where you thought it was good that were in that same division at the same time.

Stop dreaming. We have all these organizations for reason.

I agree. I was wondering why an elimination bout is even in the bracket Haha I fully agree but I just put in all the scheduled matches. Ideally, since Lamont has the strap, it could be Peterson-Porter

Get rid of the Berto/Porter matchup. No one has to go through them to be recognized as the king of the welters. I agree. I was wondering why an elimination bout is even in the bracket

None of these guys are any good to me. Boxing is in a sad place right now. WW fell off the face of the earth. This is not true. WW is loaded with good fighters. Name 10 top fighters from WW where you thought it was good that were in that same division at the same time.

I'd rather see Pacquiao fight Broner after Khan. Let Bradley fight the winner of Porter/Berto.

Disagree. Khan-Pacquiao wouldn't have been able to be made if this was true. Pac-Khan is being negotiated because Top Rank isn't willing to pay Pac his guarantee of 20 million per fight. So Pac is seemingly free to negotiate. Pac-khan being made shows that Pac-Thurman is possible. In terms of the tournament. I think it all depends on the outcome of the Brook-Spence fight and how many totally viewers tuned into Thurman-Garcia. Khan is a little more independent than most Haymon fighters and he's still only being allowed to cross the street for mega-fights with Canelo and Pacquiao. Arum will never let Pacquiao fight on a PBC card so the only hope is if Haymon would let his guys go and play the B-side on HBO, which I doubt he'd do in the case of favourites like Thurman and Spence when he has plenty of his own fighters they could face As for Brook, I think he can fight on PBC if he wants, but I just suspect he'd choose Pacquiao over Thurman

The only chance of full unification would be if Khan beat Pacquiao and Spence beat Brook. Then PBC would have access to all of the titles. Otherwise we're going to have a PBC champ and a HBO champ for the foreseeable future Disagree. Khan-Pacquiao wouldn't have been able to be made if this was true.
