    I was responding to your friend who kept asking me who Thurman and dropped or stopped in the top 10, the fighters I mentioned were lower top 10 when Thurman stopped or dropped them. I don't do the rankings, there are fighters in the top 10 right now that I don't agree with, but that's where they're ranked.

    But we can nit-pick anybody's resume, this guy moved up, that guy was shot, the other wasn't top 10, all ifs and buts. My arguments are based on facts and visuals.
    Ranked by who? If you look at legitimate sources like Ring or TBRB, none of them were ranked.

    Chaves wasn’t top 10 he was only ever ranked #10 in 2014 after the draw with Bradley.

    Collazo hasn’t been in the top 10 since 2009.

    Guerrero was also unranked as of March 2015. Was last rated #8 in 2014.

    So your arguments aren’t really based on facts mate.

      Porter was as good in 2022, in the fight he retired after, as he was in 2016? Sounds legit
      He still looked as good as ever. I saw no obvious signs of decline.

        Good win, but Porter has take a lot of punishment in his career and has been in dog fights with Thurman, Garcia, Spence, Ugas, Brook, Broner, Granados, and Berto. He announced his retirement after the Crawford loss. He was done.
        I couldn’t see any obvious signs of decline. Still had his speed, strength, punch resistance.

        He was very competitive with Crawford until Terence simply found the shot to end it. Superb timing on that counter, no version of Porter does any better versus Crawford IMO.

            That was an embarrassing performance. For a young, prime, new era Welterweight to get battered by a 40 year old Pacquaio was a total embarrassment on his behalf.
            Just showed how shot Thurman was he wasn't anywhere near his prime, showed how much the downtime and surgeries derailed his career, Manny was there to be beaten and he sidestepped Spence when he saw Thurman look ordinary with a B grader, Ive never been big on Thurman what ever is left TC will destroy him, Keith has never done anything sustained at top tier, he had terrible form going into Manny and Manny was betting favorite the bookies knew Thurman was done, that form was stamped again when Ugas beat Manny because Mannys win created more hype that flowed into the Ugas fight, its all false form and I think will continue when Spence stops Ugas.
