    Man just thinking about how weak this welterweight division is makes me sick. You have a lot of B and C class fighters looking competitive against each other. They're all on the same level so they make each other look good. Can you imagine any of these guys fighting a 147 ODLH, Vargas, Trinidad, Cotto, or Mosley? They'd look like ****ing amateurs in there. When a blown up 140lber in Danny Garcia is considered the best in the division you have a problem. Even Amir Khan is a considered an Elite 147lber. Even the 147 Kermit Cintron would ktfo of khan.

    Spence is a very talented fighter. He's the only 2012 Olympian Top Rank and Golden Boy were both trying very hard to sign. Top Rank nearly had a deal done with him (high signing bonus), but Haymon came in at the last minute and signed him.

          LOL Thurman did mention that in an interview about lighter fighters fighting at 147 because that is where the money is at with Mayweather and Pacquiao.

          Just wonder how you know that Khan did not train for Algieri fight?

            Too much of that "Manny couldn't stop him".

            We are talking about a 5'5 "over the hill" blown up lightweight come in back of a HUGE KO loss. Algieri was back then undefeated and WBO champion.

            Spence fought an Algieri who received 2 "elite" beatings in his last 3 fights.

            I'm gonna tell you guys, I'm not convinced at all by Spence.
            He's a beast, and walked through a weaker and beaten fighter.

            I need to see more, he looks like a fighter who always sit down on his punches which is a very bad habit leading to a quite short career.

            I can't believe the guy is the next big thing in boxing since he "outmuscled" Algieri.

              Most of the new crop is young and still building on their in-ring experience.

              Khan, Garcia, Thurman, Porter, Brook, Spence, Bradley, Crawford all make for good matchups against each other. I'd love to see any of these fights.

                Spence dominated Algieri from the the opening bell and was able to stop him which Pac couldn't do. He looks like a good young prospect who brings excitement to the 147 lb division.
                I always felt Algieri had lots of heart but basically was a B level fighter. I know he was a champ at 140 but I think that shows how thin boxing is these days.

                  I reckon Spence would beat Thurman but might struggle against the rough and ugly Porter.

                    I think he needs one more fight before stepping up to that level, not saying he can't beat both but he should fight the winner of Ortiz-Berto first. Then take on Brook or the winner of Porter-Thurman at the end of this year or maybe the beginning of next year.

                      Have you not seen his gyno? Dude is cut to shreds with muscle on top of muscle but has gyno? Let's use some common sense. More than likely he's on some shlt out has been on shlt.

                      Let's face it man. Most of these top level athletes are on some form of peds. When millions are riding on the line, they'll do anything, including taking peds.
