Who do you think is the current #1 welterweight?

One things for sure. It ain’t Thurman. Before when he had his big wins vs Garcia and Porter, sure. But after the 2 years off due to injury and the poor performance vs Lopez, he can’t be number 1. He can work to reclaim it though.

Thurman. He wasnt great after his layoff but his resume puts him over Crawford and Spence. Manny beat broner, big deal. Thurman has beaten the better fighters.

I don't know why people keep saying Spence hasn't done anything. He had 3 high level fights where he demolished all 3. His one easy fight was a total wipe out.

Crawford beat a terrible boxer in Horn. He struggled in a fight that was supposed to easy.

Thurman should be number one but he didn't look like it against a C-level fighter.

I like all 3 but Spence is clearly number one at this point.

1x is the only current ww champ with a respectable resume

Benevides had a lot of success against Crawford even though he had a bum knee. Not sure if that indicates Crawford is not as good as people believe or that Benevides is a very good fighter. If Benevides wasn't so immobilized by his bum knee that could have been a really bad fight for Bud.

I might pick Spence as the best welterweight...but I'm not sure.

People were gushing over Thurman during the first 6 rounds of his fight against Lopez. Everyone was saying how sharp he looked, like he was fighting flawlessly and then as soon as he gets clipped and hurt in the 7th round....All of a sudden Thurman becomes a bum.....We might see the same change of heart from fans when Crawford and Spence get hurt. And will they show the heart and legs to survive as Thurman did?

Everyone looks like a beast until they find themselves in a tight spot. I can see that boxing fans never learn. We always believe the hype, thinking that certain fighters are untouchable....but we always find out that none of them are unbeatable.

2 year layoff, 1 bad rd....meh. I highly doubt he'd have fought Bud or Spence that way.

[just the facts]

Resume says Thurman but I suspect it’s Spence

[Larry the boss]

vacant.............

[davef]

Spence who came to the UK and took the belt always said I'd give him props for that if he pulled it off

Id rather he proved it fully by beating Thurman and Crawford tho

[Pigeons]

Bud Crawford.
