    - -Kermit is 5-7, but he has a lanky feel to him because of his reach and lean physiotype.

    We have a 6-7 welter today. Prob going nowhere, yet instructive as to what young men can boil down to under modern weighin rules.

      Manny Pacquiao is there, along with Terrence Crawford, Keith Thurman, Shawn Porter, Danny Garcia, Yordenis Ugas, and (I will even mention him because he refuses to go away) Amir Khan.


      I am not going to list my picks. I want to hear from the fans. Also let it be known of fighters you may want to see move down in weight or those that you think can drop down in weight.
      Until Spence recovers, I'll go with something like:

      Pacquiao vs Garcia
      Thurman vs Crawford
      Porter vs Ugas rematch

          I like all of those fights.

            Kermit is 5'11". I've seen him in person. And I am 5'7". He was taller than me.

              As long as they don't try to put em on PPV any mix of Crawford , Thurman , Garcia or Porter's fine with me.
              I can do without Ugas in the mix. Not really a fan of his style.
