Call me crazy, but I truly believe a prime Oba Carr in today's era would easily rule the division. There are no Trinidads, De la hoya's or Quartey's in the division. ****, even the guys like Livinstone Bramble he struggled with early in his career would beat a lot of the top guys today. I'm not impressed with these guys fighting twice a year and having to take rounds off due to fatigue.
its an overhyped division. its full of american fighters so thats why its automatically considered on here to be the best and why crawford and spence are right near the top of the p4p lists. theres fighters just as good as them two skill wise if not better in most divisions. if you think about it, every single division considered 'weak' on this forum is one where there arent many american fighters at the top and vice versa
Boxrec has Spence and Crawford at no. 3 and 4 pound for pound. Don't be a b1tch and knock on Boxrec's credibility. Explain to me how the algorithm is biased for Americans.
This welterweight division might be the best we've ever seen from a technique standpoint. It's a continuation of the Mayweather era. Spence and Crawford would both pair up favorably against him, while a grossly overrated and technically inept fighter like Trinidad would get completely embarrassed. Even De LaHoya was extremely flawed and sloppy with his arm punching, square stance, and caveman footwork. Guys like Crawford's are as flawless as you can get. Can you point to one gross technical flaw in his game? Because I can give thousands for DeLaHoya or Trinidad.
No one from that era touches Crawford or Spence technically except Mayweather and maybe Mosley.
That was the dumbest sht I've read someone post in awhile???
You correct homie and then instead of having a proper response or comeback he says your living rent free in his head???
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Lmao ... . I'm glad someone noticed.
I'm like WTF u talking about. Then he says I'm too soft for this website? Even though I been here since 2014.
I been falling in love with that ignore button lately!!

So insecure with such an inferiority complex lol.
Couldn't agree more it's not even nostalgia I wonder where bud and spence would be sitting if they were in their prime between 2006-2014 among fighters like William's, Cotto, jmm, maidana,pac, floyd,margarito,hatton,Mosley etc
I really doubt both of them would run through that list of fighters better than pac and floyd
This entire ERA is overrated but it is entertaining! They all have Flaws each and every one of them...not talking about just Welteweights but EVERY Top Fighter in this ERA has Flaws and are all beatable
This aint like Mayweather ERA in which you knew Mayweather was UD inevitable or Vitali and Wlad would beat whoever gets put in front of them
I like get don't know WTF would happen in a Fury vs AJ fight or a Crawford vs Spence Jr and I think that is a GOOD THING
I just lived in your mind rent free ;)

That's your response?
I already know your agenda..... U just a PacFan bigging Thurman up to big Manny up.
So obvious 🙄
yes but he lost. He lost the first 5 and the 10th as he was hurt to the body. A 40 year old ww that faded late and he couldn't capitalize on it. Thurman is azz
Any real prime fighter would have took advantage of Manny low output
Spence, Crawford, and Porter would have took advantage
Foh...... Sound like u just saying that to make Manny look better.
Thurman not consistent enough sir. There was a short window of Prime Thurman that would and even still he too vulnerable.
He was almost knocked out by Collazo

Thurman I think is the only one who would be able to hang among the previous generations!!!!

Thurman lost to Manny Pacquiao by 1 point

Unfortunately, no one has separated themselves. Spence was a little better than Brook and a little better than Porter, and more than a little better than a Danny Garcia who has no quality win at the weight class. Crawford...well, Crawford best win is Victor Postal and he's been crowned best in the sport.
