Who have they beat? Welterweight is still wide open for the #1 spot.

[Fists_of_Fury]

Who has Kell Brook beat at 147lbs.? Shawn Porter? Who has Shawn Porter beat though? Remember Julio Diaz gave Porter fits lol. He got hyped for pummeling washed up Paulie. Who else has Kell Brook beat lol?

Who has Errol Spence beat at 147lbs.? Algieri? Bundu? He looked better than Thurman against Bundu at least.

Who has Keith Thurman beat at 147lbs.? Shawn Porter(see above)? He didn't hold like Wlad Clinchko like Brook did at least. Danny Garcia? Guerrero? Collazo? Bundu? Remember he got elevated to super champ only because Floyd retired. Danny got the WBC gifted to him by beating Guerrero lol. So imo Keith has 2 paper belts.

Who has Manny Pacquiao beat at 147lbs.? Clottey? Mosley? Rios? Algieri? Bradley? Vargas? WBO title was stripped from Floyd after he beat Manny so it's as legit as Thurman's anyway. And no Pacquiao was never legit lineal at welterweight.


The #1 spot is up for grabs imo. Since Floyd retired nobody stands out. Just some paper champs and guys with so so resumes at the full 147lb. limit fighting for the top spot. Most guys are going off the eye test or believing fake accolades in saying who is #1 at 147lbs. They all need to fight to see who really is the top dog at welterweight and establish a new lineage.

Thurman's probably the top dog right now.
Garcia, Guerrero, Porter, Collazo, Diego Chaves, Soto Karass and a couple more good wins in there

All basically true, and all good reasons why fans deserve to see all the best welters fight each other. Brook/Spence is a good start along with Thurman/Garcia, but let's keep going. Love to see Thurman against the winner -- Brook or Spence.

I wish we could also see Pac and Bradley against the top guys above, though this is extremely doubtful.

Ah, boxing today.....

[Fists_of_Fury]

Manny Pacquiao chasing greatness at welterweight like usual by challenging Jeff Horn(who?)

Kell Brook vs Errol Spence is a fight to look forward to at least in the welterweight division.

Shawn Porter vs Andre Berto isn't significant but might be exciting.

Who will Thurman fight next?

Brook is the undisputed #1 at WW until he gets decisively beaten. Bradley is #2. Thurman is #3. Pacquiao is #4. Spence is #5.

Just as the HW landscape was wide open last year and is getting whittled down now, WW is going through the same thing. In a year we should have a clear #1.

[Sweet Pea 50]

Perfect world, I'd like to see the winner of Brook-Spence fight Thurman.

This is box, but.

Ever perfect nothing happens.

Kell Brook is nowhere near undisputed #1! Bradley lost to Pacquiao yet you have him ranked higher!? Bradley is 1 fight away from losing to a bum... he went life or death with Provodnikov, looked like ass against Chaves, and was almost sparked out by Jesse Vargas. Tim Bradley is not a top 3 welterweight and never was.

[black.ink]

Using your logic, what would a win for either Spence or Brook do?

Brook wins, he beat the next hype job at WW. Does it add to his resume for you, since Spence has no big wins at WW?

Spence wins, he a beat a hyped up Brit with 1 good win to his name. Does it make Spence number 1 at WW by beating a hype job?

Your logic is why fans of boxing are so fickle. The winner of Brook/Spence for me would be number 1 at WW. The winner should then fight Thurman to be the clear man of the division.

Right now i would go with Keith Thurman, he has chaves, porter, garcia, guerrero, collazo on his resume. And that resume is improving on a fight by fight basis. But yeah 147 is getting younger at the moment. For me that weight class is in transition from the old-er generation to the new ones, and hopefully the next 18-24 months would give us a clearer picture.
