Mark my words: Keith Thurman will be the last man standing at 147.

    Team Thurman in the house baby! Boxing fans are fickle and quick to forget, not long ago everybody was on Thurman's ****.

    Even usually calm fighters like Dre Ward who I'm a fan of, are disrespecting Thurman (cos of past beef between him and Virgil I assume), TMT and the Mayweather Boxing Club don't like Thurman either, cos of how vocal in calling Floyd out and when he said he would eat up all the dogs at Mayweather's dog house.

    But we still team Thurman ALL DAY! I like all these welterweights though, we're going to see some great fights.

      As in standing by with a sore elbow while everyone else fights?

        Looking at each fighter objectively, I think it is fair to say that there isn't a major skill disparity between these three. All three of these guys actually does something better than the others. Crawford has more tools in the tool basket, Thurman is the faster, more athletic, and more powerful fighter out of the other three. Spence has the better work rate, jab, punch variation, punch output, and is a master at cutting off the ring. Thurman and Spence are both technically 154 pounders and they are head and shoulders above anyone Crawford has fought. Before stepping to either one of these two, I think Crawford should fight Vargas, Broner, Khan, Danny. or Porter. At least two of the people in that group. I do see Thurman and Spence as being the cream of the crop of the division. These will not be easy fights for Crawford that is for sure.

          He has the skills. But inactivity and injuries are going to take a toll. He's already 30. By the time he gets back in shape and is comfortable, he won't be in his prime anymore.

            He's bound to be, he never fights.

              He got that hot Nepali wife, he lost his hunger. That's why fighters should stay single.

                The way things have gone lately with Thurman if he's the last guy standing at 147 its cuz he's still injured & the top two guys besides him fought & it ended in a double knockout.

                  Spence is a one-dimensional pressure guy, Thurman will find a way to adapt and beat him.

                  Crawford is too small and doesn't have the power to compete with Thurman.

                  I've gone back and forth on this, but this is what I truly think.



                  In other news, Danny will knock Porter out with a counter hook.
                  I agree with Keef being best of the bunch, and beating any welterweight. He just needs to get active again, ASAP!
                  Now in regards to DSG v Short Port, we don’t see eye to eye. Lol

                      Thurman was the man at 147 just before Spence and Crawford showed up...
