    Skill wise only spence and Maybe Thurman stand a chance against him.



    people like to bash Brooks resume but honestly what's spence, Thurman, Garcia, and khans standout wins at 147 ?

    Not based on his résumé, no, but h2h, arguably yes.

    Thurman is the most proven welterweight right now followed by Brook. The division is weak right now until some fights between the top 10 go down because too many of them are undefeated or just 1 loss which means they aren't fighting the top guys.

    He's top 5 WW, easily. Probably top 3 and, yes, an argument can be made that he's #1.

    Think you'll find Bradley is far more proven than either Thurman or Brook

    Thurman's resume is just as much of a joke..... Difference between Khan and Garcia though is that Thurman and Brook have been at the weight for 8+ years, Garcia and Khan have moved up only in recent years and have a much better record of names between them through their careers

    Pacquiao (obviously), Bradley, Brook, Porter are all more proven then Thurman

    At Welterweight, Bradley holds wins over 2 blown up light welterweights who went back to LWW, a split decision with Pacquiao that many believe he lost which he ended up losing the rematch, and Brandon Rios who has done terrible at Welterweight with one of his wins coming from DQ which he was losing. Vargas also stunned him with one punch sooo....

    I like Bradley but he isn't the best Welterweight. Like I said the division is weak until they start fighting each other.

    Pacquiao is very beatable right now. I explained why Bradley isn't, Brook and Porter haven't fought any good Welterweights. Not like Thurman is leagues ahead of them. Thurman can be beat but I wouldn't put any of them as favorites against him.
