    We've seen Barrios lose to the ghost of Keith Thurman and to Davis at 140, by KO. At this point his best win is still against a very faded Yordenis Ugas and he has not impressed in his subsequent showings against lesser opposition. Ramos is a journeyman. Barrios is carrying around the WBC welterweight championship, have some standards.

        Welterweight once had champs like Leonard, Duran, Curry, Pacquiao, Mayweather, and Hearns.
        All we have today is a guy named Boots who may or may not be all that good and can't get a chance to even unify.
        But Riyadh Season is the best!!! Turkey is the savior of boxing.

          If you look at the records of both Davis and Thurman, you realize that Barrios is a good boxer. Those are his only losses. He actually fought without respecting his opponent early in yesterday's bout. I kept saying to myself that "Barrios is trying to walk through too many punches". That cost him....and ended up making for an entertaining fight - one in which he, unfairly, walked away with a draw

              Keith Thurman in 2022 is not the same thing as Keith Thurman in 2016.

              Losing to the only two good names on your resume is not an accomplishment.
