How is Brook Suddenly the Best Welterweight?

[Da Pimper]

Come on man you know why.....#noshame

You know why. He beat Porter much clearer than Thurman did, and Spence is still just starting out. Who at WW is better than Brook? Queen C0nt? Be honest Larry.

Spence appears to be quite formidable to me so my answer to that is yes

Spence could very well be the best and my money says he will be, but he isn't there yet. I think 2017 will be his big break out year.

Well whatever the case...nothing has been settled in that division. They all need to fight eachother instead of moving up 2 weight classes for a pay day.

He has to beat spence to be the best ww? brook is arguably the best ww...but it doesn't really matter, ggg vs any ww is a joke.

Based on what???

WW fighters need to fight each other to prove who is the best since Manny and Floyd left

Brook is more proven than Spence and performed far better vs Porter than Thurman, he is clearly the best WW on the planet right now and if you say otherwise you are full of sht.

Who's the best ww?

There is no clear #1 welterweight since none of them are really fighting each other. Brook was ranked #1 by numerous different rankings, whether that's true or not is debatable and largely subjective.

Brook, Thurman, Danny Garcia, Shawn Porter, Bradley, these are the top guys. The Ring has had Brook #1 for a while, along with others like TBRB. ESPN had him #1 until Thurman beat Porter so they have Thurman #1 and Brook #2.

No,not Ring rankings. I'm referring to "best welterweight" as the thread title says. Brook winning a close fight against Porter 2 years ago is the ONLY relevant thing he's ever done. You're taking that over everything Garcia and Thurman have done?? I think Spence knocking out Algeri is more impressive than anything Brook has done, and I'm not even sold on Spence.
Let's not hide behind rankings here, Kell has done very little compared to Thurman, Garcia, and even Bradley. By the time he gets his next WW fight he won't have had a legit defense in 2.5 years of being champ, and that's IF he finally makes a legit defense.

Has Brook accomplished anything in his boxing career that suggests he should be in the ring with Gennady Golovkin? Hell could Brook even beat Andrade, Charlos, Lara, Canelo....come on man!

That's why I said it's debatable and subjective since none of the top guys have fought each other. People are saying "best welterweight" based on the rankings.

To me personally, it's between Brook and Thurman and until they fight, or until Spence rises up, there is no clear best welterweight. Brook hasn't fought anyone good since Porter. Thurman's best win is Porter, who Brook beat a lot easier. Garcia I don't really think he's as good as these two but that's why they all need to fight each other. Talent wise, I think Spence is the best, he just hasn't proved it yet since he's still on the rise and working his way up there.
