    Welterweight division has a potential, but it sucks right now

    I just take a look on top 10 by boxrec. We have got 7 undefeated guys in first 10.

    Crawford, Spence, Ennis, Ortiz jr, Crowley, Stanionis, Benn

    I can only give some credit to Stanionis, who just beat Butaev, who was also undefated.

    When will other guys face some threats?

    Spence just best Ugas and his Cuban school style.

      Ugas was not undefeated and he was not a threat for Spence.

        Spence vs Crawford is the only big fight happening in this division. Granting their fight happens in November, then winner/loser would have to take at least 3-5 months break before taking their next fight. Is Ennis willing to wait that long?

              The division is good but hasn't been among the best, no matter how much Showtime claims it is, in a while.

                Being undefeated means nothing when that comes against nobodies and Crawford’s case, past good fighters of 135lbs.

                Ugas was absolutely a threat. No one knew how Spence would show up after the surgery+long layoff. He isn’t the same fighter anymore, and he still isn’t after the win.

                  In a couple years when all these guys move up, and Boots and Ortiz get bigger it will be on fire

                    Why? From all guys I listed nobody fought nobody.

                    So you are happy with Spence beating guys that were all beaten before?

                    And Crawford beating shot Khan and Brook?

                    And Ennis and Ortiz jr. beating no-hopers?
