Rank your Wleterweights

[John Locke]

Chaves was easily handling Rios. Even with the ****** point deductions, he was ahead.

[HEND]

Unless Thurman being black means he should be ranked higher?

That was cringeworthy. Who the hell talked about Thurnan being black?
Guerrero is clearly a better name than Alexander who was ragdolled by Porter and lost his belt before he fought Khan.

[DreamerUSA]

I can understand people ranking Maidana above Khan at 147, I say fair enough. But Thurman? In fact, Thurman is above Maidana in your rankings? For what? Khan beating Alexander, annihilating Collazo and having a good fight with Algieri is better than Thurman's one-two of Bundu and hsot to ****, never was a welterweight Guerrero. That's ridiculous man.

Maybe if Thurman had stopped both Bundu and Guerrero and showed he was levels above those guys then I could get you. Right now, all of you are desperate to get on the next American bandwagon and it undermines any boxing integrity you may have.

Lets examine Thurman/Khan.

Khan: At Welterweight

Alexander is a good win. Two division world champion and Khan made easy work of him.

Collazo is a good name, but does anyone really think this guy has been much of anything for several years now.

Algeiri gave Khan a good fight. You really want to brag on this win? Khan got the job done; but is it really a resume building win?

Thurman: Last 6 fights at welterweight

Robert Guerrero was a top ten guy when they fought and is a 3 division world champion and Keith dominated him.

Leonard Bundu was undefeated and got a master class in boxing from Keith.

Julio Díaz is a tough ****er that almost always makes people work for their wins over him. Keith stopped him in 3. The same guy that put Khan on his backside with Khan winning a close decision. One of your criteria for the list was showing levels against inferior opponents.

Jesús Soto Karass is another guy kind of like Diaz in that he is generally a tough guy that is hard to get out of there and Keith disposed of him in 9. Not a great win or anything but he got handled like he should of been.

Diego Chavez whose only real loss is to Thurman via KO. Got DQ'd in a fight he was winning against Rios and gave Tim Bradley all he could handle. Oh and is currently a top ten WW.

Jan Zaveck is the only guy that Thurman has'nt made eat canvas but none the less Thurman put a 120-108 ass whoopin on the former welterweight champ.

I'm sorry, but the question should'nt be Why but Why would'nt Thurman be ranked above Khan at welterweight. I'm not saying Keith has some world beater resume but unlike Khan he has made easy work of his competition at welterweight and has fought the better competition at welterweight.

Has anyone actually posted what HBO's WW rankings were yet?, still interested.

I honestly can't find anything unless it was a graphic they threw up during the telecast, but I don't remember that either.

[Larry the boss]

So you have thurman ranked on potential? I hate to break it to you but that's not how rankings work.



Who has a better resume? Who has the best win? Khan's win over Alexander is better than Guerrero who is shot or Bundu or a c class slugger.

Unless Thurman being black means he should be ranked higher?

wow man,where did race come from? Alexander ranks about where Guerrero ranks then you throw in Chaves

Yea he was..

[Larry the boss]

Rios > Chaves

Chaves beat Rios's ass

I have no idea why people pull the race card out of their ass on here
