    Just would like to have your thoughts about the best fighters in welterweight/ super-welterweight division?
    Personnaly, Keith Thurman is really underrated in his category, he's maybe the best.
    For super-welterweight, I pick up Erislandy Lara.

    Which fighters would you want to see in opposition???

    (Please excuse my english, i'm french!)

    Jeff Horn is the best welterweight.

    Brook is going to fit in well at 154lbs.
    Brook vs Lara would be a very decent match-up. He's got a few more fights left in his tank. Hopefully a Spence rematch at 154lbs where he finishings the job.

    I know English is your 2nd language, but Lara is at LMW(Light Middle-Weight)

    Did Lara land more punches vs Canelo than GGG did?

    Spense and Canelo would beat Brook at 154lbs because he can`t defend against the jab.

    Brook vs Lara would be a tough fight.
    But I think than Lara could outbox him , better footwork, more speed and better defense, even if Brook could hit him really hard...

    To my mind, Spence has been really lucky during their last fight because of the eye of Brook. Brook was doing really well before that.

    Light midlleweight = Super- welterweight
    Lara is a superwelter... and for me the best at 154.

    Spence will soon be the top welter. Thurman second.
