A tournament that's been goin on since 2015? When will the winner bw crowned, in 2020?

[champion4ever]

It would be cool if they can even get Terence Crawford in the tournament but I know that it's a bit too far-fetched.

That response doesn't have me optimistic about a 147lb tournament.

But idk that 147 is deep enough for a tournament. Its a final 4 best case probably.

With Bud: Bud, Thurman, Spence & Porter

Without Bud: Thurman, Spence, Porter & Manny

Before this welterweight tourney is done, I'll be on my old age pension LOL

[sicko]

Being Sarcastic because most of those fights already happened how soon people forget

Actually they all have happened besides Spence vs. Porter or Thurman

honestly no one wants to see porter in with those guys. I rather see bud/thurman/spence/manny. I'm not even sure what Thurman interest in something like this is.

I hate his response to this though, he acts like Spence got a chance at anyone besides Brook. He's been in that stable for 3 years and one notable fight.

Lol this is Espinoza being sarcastic guys. He's saying there doesn't need to be a welterweight tournament because all the Showtime fighters have already fought each other for the most part.

2014 - Brook vs. Porter
2016 - Thurman vs. Porter
2017 - Thurman vs. Garcia
2017 - Spence vs. Brook
2018 - Porter vs. Garcia


Porter - 3 (1-2)
Thurman - 2 (2-0)
Brook - 2 (1-1)
Garcia - 2 (0-2)
Spence - 1 (1-0)


Good matchups, all on Showtime/CBS, but very little momentum due to the time between fights. It's been 4 years since this tournament started with Brook vs. Porter and we've had 5 fights. We should be at 8 minimum right now.
