So Manny beats the No.1 WW and.....

[pasawayako]

Fook the eye test. Pac clearly has the best resume at 147


1. Pac
2. Spence
3. Bud

Good ranking.

Errol Spence walks around 165 to 175 pounds between fights.

But could not even knock down a 135 pounder- Mickey Garcia.

[cpk-mb]

Terrence Crawford is not fast enough to hit Khan's glassy chin.

That's why he decided to beat Khan via low blow.

... Thurman wasn't ranked as #1 by anybody...

Actually, prior to his injury, he was. You don't just jump his position by beating LW Mikey Garcia or shot a55 Kell Broke.

Terrence Crawford is the number 1 Welterweight. Spence is number 2 and Manny has a good argument for number 3 now.

Who did Crawford beat to get that distinction, then?

[Boxing Goat]

Thurman was no1 WW, he had resume and was the man to beat, sure he had time off, but floyds layoffs were as long. Sure he had injuries but so did Pac it's part and parcel.
Sure he had under par performance but he won. Humans aren't machines can't you have an off night? Give him the respect for wins, and let spence or crawford beat the champion. Nobody wants this triangle theory trash, Crawford beat horn who beat pac? Drives you mad. OK, horn robbed Pac but don't then rub it in. Crawford beating horn is no big feal, Thurman would beat horn

Good post. Well done

[gamesworn]

My top three WW
1. Spence
2. Pacquiao
3. Crawford

I think the govt passed a law that says if u have a loss on your record to Jeff horn, you can never be ranked #1 in that division ever again

But to be fair, Manny got robbed in plain daylight.

"Because ring rankings are based on the opinions of a group of individuals?

They think Spence and Crawford can beat pacquiao."

So the rankings are not based on fight results or depth of performance but more on opinions?

Boxing is really not immune from politics!?

Arent most rankings based on opinion?

Unless you have a computer ranking like boxrec or something.

And those are even more wrong than opinion based rankings.
