    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

      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.

              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.

                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

                    3rd rate washed up welterweights

                    Or 2nd rate former lightweights

                      Maybe Clottey would try if he faced Floyd

                      Floyd doesnt HURT guys
