    147 lbs tournament for undisputed championship..who wins

    Group A
    Manny Pac vs Keith Thurman
    Tim Bradley vs Marcos Maidana
    Winners fight

    Group B
    Shawn Porter vs Danny Garcia
    Amir Khan vs Kell Brook
    Winners fight

    Group A winner vs Group B winner


    Honestly I can't think of the winner between Keith Thurman vs Kell Brook. Let me know who you have in the finals and who you think will win.

    Its a close field, imo, with a faded pac still at the top and the rest a rock paper scissors of who beats who.

    Though maybe brooks is the goods? Will have to wait n see. I haven't seen enough of him to say but he seems like a lot of potential.

    If going by your scenario it would be pac vs brook with pac winning.

    Pacquiao cannot be added anymore. He has done his part and he should hang em up too. The young guys need to fight each other and build their own legacies with each other. Let the old lions rest.

    :good

    I would say that Thurman comes out on top. He is a natural boxer puncher.

    I do... i like thurman a lot but hes got a lot of improving to do and a few levels to raise before he overcomes a pac . Even this pac would be too much for him imo. Footspeed, power and stamina would be all wrong for him right now.

    I think a few others there matchup better with pac than thurman does.

    You got Maidana beating Pac?
    Pac would make Maidana look like bad
