How strong is todays WW era?

[Left Hook Tua]

Welterweight is stacked but I just wish that the top names would fight each other more often.

Out of all them, I have to say that Crawford is the most impressive, he can compete with the 80's golden era WW.

They do fight each other

Thurman has fought porter and pac and Garcia

pac fought Thurman and about to fight spence

Spence has fought Garcia, porter and about to fight pac

Porter has fought Garcia, spence and Thurman

Garcia has fought porter, Spence, Thurman


Only crawfish doesn't fight anyone

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

If he beats spence he's goat. Not realistic for pac to have to take 3 unbeaten W W kings. S RR wasn't doing it so don't see why pac would need to.

When Ray came back in 55 he was considerably past his prime, probably further past his prime than Pac is now and he still beat:

Bobo Olson x2.
Gene Fullmer
Rocky Graziano.
As well as regaining the Lineal World Middlweight title 3 more times.

That’s 4 wins over hall of famers way past his peak, on top of what he’d already achieved from 1940-52. I love Pac as much as anyone, but as great as he is he’s nowhere near close to surpassing Ray Robinson.

Strong. You just happen to have them following 2 ATGs in Pacquiao and Mayweather. And Crawford being stuck fighting 2nd rate WWs.

I wish Maidana stayed around longer and fit under Garcia he got him fighting to his strengths and added some bits

I'm almost certain he would have ruled above Thurman and Garcia and Brook Porter in that short era before Spence and Bud rose up

Maidana vs Porter would have been a fun fight

Today's scene makes for interesting match ups at welterweight but it seems pretty weak. In what world is Mikey Garcia a top contender. Ridiculous.

[LeOoze]

Everyone who beat clottey barely beat clottey

even prime pac didn't beat down clottey

Clottey is one of those guys that are so good to just barely lose

Pretty much a taller, bigger more polished porter in that regard

I agree. Nobody looked good against Clottey.

I agree. Nobody looked good against Clottey.

Only reason pac won all those rounds was he just kept punching arms while clottey stood there.

Obviously pac won but it was such an uneventful fight lampley had to do his ****** **** **** **** moment.

Pac landed enough to win all the rounds but hardly landed a lot of solid shots.

I think clottey said he got hurt a couple times, once to the body and thats why he shelled up.

Damn shame because clottey-pac would have been a good fight if clottey fought back.

Prime maidana would be a nightmare for all these current 140,147 guys

And Crawford being stuck fighting 2nd rate WWs.

3rd rate washed up welterweights

Or 2nd rate former lightweights

Maybe Clottey would try if he faced Floyd

Floyd doesnt HURT guys
