Rank your Wleterweights

[The_Bastard]

Brook
Mayweather
Pacquiao
Thurman
Spence
Bradley
Porter
Maidana
Ali
Chaves

My choices are based on potential of what I believe. This tomato can fad ****e means nothing you can fight and beat poor fighters that doesn't mean you wont beat great fighters. I haven't added khan because he isn't a welterweight and doesn't fight true welterweights

2. Manny Pacquiao
3. Timothy Bradley

That list is total AIDS.

Apart from the positions of Thurman and Rios, that's a good list, very good in fact. Just wish there's a round robin of fights between Brook, Khan and Bradley, with a second one between Porter, Maidana and Alexander/Thurman.

The bottom three are really a matter of taste. Very hard to pick between Rios, Alexander, Chaves and Ali as none of them have clearly proven themselves to better than each other. The Alexander Chaves fight should help clear the bottom of the list up a little.

Alexander is as much, if not more of a welterweight than Guerrero.

You're saying Brook has more potential than both Mayweather AND Pacquiao.

What's Chaves potential based on?

Errol Spence has more potential than Bradley, why do you feel that way?

Alexander is a world title holder at the weight and holds a win over Maidana who you rate highly and gave Mayweather hell in their first meeting. Doesn't that count for something?

I'd agree if you mentioned Chaves, Thurman and Ali in the same breath, although Ali is levels below even those two.

Opinions should not over look objectivity, JMM hasn't fought in ages and lost to Bradley quite clearly.

Brook beat a world titlist in Porter who many said was going to KO him. Chaves is a b level slugger and guerrero has done nothing of not since getting embarrassed by mayweather.

Well, if brook were to fight Guerrero or Chavez I would then rank him higher. We have to wait and see who his next opponent is and the outcome of the fight.

[-MEGA-]

So your criteria for JMM is that he has the best Welterweight win in years, which I agree with

Yet you seem to use another for Brook/Khan. Based on Welterweight wins, Brook clearly has fought better competition - the Porter win alone trumps anything Khan has done at Welterweight.

I don't really understand the logic there

Khan beating maidana > brook beating porter.


Both are WW now so the JWW argument doesn't really apply

Champion: Mayweather
#1 Manny Pacquiao
#2 Kell Brook
#3 Bradley
#4 Porter
#5 Thurman
#6 Maidana
#7 Amir Khan
#8 Devon Alexander
#9 Guerrero
#10 Rios/Chaves or someone like that-

Left Marquez out because he's been inactive for more than a year.

This and your reply to John Locke are on point. No way I'm putting Thurman over Brook, Bradley, or Porter.
