This is the worst welterweight era in history

What's wrong with it? If he loses his stock plummets to ZILCH, it's already pretty low after getting KOd so many times. The crawford fight is his big gamble.

The problem is Amir khan if he were ti somehow win will just hold the belt hostage. He's a delusional diva who stilp thinks he's some sort of A side and will make any top welterweight move heaven and earth to makena fight happen with him. And you can bet your house if he becomes WBO champ that the brook fight will never happen because he'll use that as leverage and claim he doesn't deserve 50/50.

Long story short, fighting crawford only benefits the fans in the short term. In the long term, we will suffer because of amir Khan's annoying delusions and grand standing.

 

That's what makes it so horrible, you have all this talent and no one is fighting. Could you imagine the fab 4 era except Hagler, hearns, Duran, and leanard spent all their 20's arguing on twitter and fighting bums and we didnt see them fight until they were 32-35? You'd call it a big dissapointment.

Here's the problem: you and i both know he'll never fight Thurman. And even if he wanted to, thurman is so fake, inconsistent, and injury prone it probably wouldn't happen. And what makes it worse is thurman still hasnt been stripped which means no unification bouts. Which proves my point: all these skilked fighters and no ****ing fights happening. What's the point?

It's not just because of broner vs Pac. That's only part of my complaint, it just made me realize what kind of horrible shape this division is in.

Broner vs pac was a PAY PER VIEW EVENT, not some undercard fight or a minor home town bout. Wether broner was ranked 7th or 6th or 1st is just semantics, the fact an underachieving clown like him and a 40 year old senator are 2 of the biggest ppv stars at 147 is sad and it's made worse by how horrible the actual fight was.

I talked plenty about the state of the division in the rest of my post. All the top guys are ducking each other and holding their belts hostage.

 

I never said broners resume or opposition has been bad. All those guys you listed in bold? Yeah, he LOST to them. That's the problem. People hold broner's potential in high regard, not what he's actually doing or accomplished.

I'm not cirticizing pac for taking this fight that was never the point if this thread. The point is an old ass 40 year old Pac coming off a loss to horn and beating a journeyman mathyse is still the biggest name in the division and his fight with broner was a ppv event. It was horrible and the worst part, broners name and stock mean absolutely nothing, no big fights can be made with him in the near future. Pac will either rematch mayweather (which will be a snooze fest if it happens) or he'll fight a bum then give up the belt and retire, he wont face any top welters like spence and crawford and you know it.

In other words, Pac vs broner was a lose/lose situation for the 147 fans no matter who won or lost.
