    Where is Jeff Horn? He pushed Pacquiao's wig back in the land of the kangaroo.

    How else is Crawford supposed to have a win against a top 10 WW? Otherwise it’s pretty tough to justify having him at number one.

    Pacquiao over Spence and Crawford? Instering.... Especially since Crawford dominated Horn way better than Pacquiao did and Spence just had a win against a very determined Porter which imo was better than Pacquiao vs Thurman since Thurman looked terrible against Lopez.

    Not interesting at all. Bud has fought Benavidez, Horn and Khan at WW, Khan is shot to hell, Horn couldn't make the weight anymore and Peg Leg Jose could barely move. Spence has three big wins, Brook, Garcia and Porter. If GGG, Canelo and Loma don't get credit for Brook, Khan and Rigo, Spence doesn't get credit for Mikey. Brook was winning until his eye went and his win over Porter was debatable. Pacquiao just took the 0 of Thurman, dominated Jessie Vargas, lost by a round to Horn, beat up Broner, beat Bradley back to back and stopped Matthysse. It's a fairly easy pick for me. Also, those two are young lions beating up other young lions, Pac is an old man beating up young lions, which is far more impressive.

    1.Pacquiao
    2.Spencer
    3.Crawford.
    i got it the same as you, but i think next year these top 6 is gonna change a lot! On paper crawford haves everything to be number one, the only thing is we don know how he is gonna look when he fights somebody with real power like garcia,spence and even a old pacman! We know he can do really good against pressure fighters like he did with horn so I don’t think he will have a problem with porter! In my opinion he beats Thurman easy! But what if garcia beats spence? Porter, Thurman and Garcia all had close fights with each other so literally everything is super tight at the top 6! Pacman haves the best record at ww so theres no doubt he is number 1

    1. Spence
    2. Crawford
    3. Pac
    4. Thurman
    5. Porter
    6. D Garcia
    7. Ugas
    8. Mikey
    9. Lipinets
    10. Vergil Ortiz

    11ish. Kavalisusa...../Ray Robinson/Josesito Lopez

    Spence is still the top guy in my opinion, Crawford is # 2 (They could be subjectively interchangeable). I put Pac over Thurman as he officially got the win, but that was a neck and neck fight (even though the narrative has somehow become Pac dominated him), Thurman was very unlucky in a loss where he outlanded Pac and gave as good as he got, I refuse to put Porter and Garcia above the man that beat them both, Danny Garcia also lost a close one to Porter, Ugas snatched a defeat from the hands of victory against Porter, Mikey's lower tier because his only WW fight he was dominated, Lipinets is solid but not yet proven in this division, and Vergil Ortiz looks like the real deal by my eye test.

    Khan will not be included on my list as he hasn't had a win over a highly touted or even a top 15ish fighter at WW in 5 years. K. (I hate his name) was supposedly touted, Ray Robinson should have 2 wins over touted opposition and Lopez is currently the highest level gatekeeper. I'd put Jose Benavidez above those 3 but I'm not certain about his career trajectory with the bum leg.

    No way Crawford belongs on the top spot in terms of merits in the WW division.
    Both Pac and Spence have unified belts.
    Either one of them should be above Crawford, unless we're talking hypothetical performances here again.

    Do you think Khan would lose with Kavaliauskas,Ray Robinson, Josesito Lopez?
    Who won Mikey as a ww then?
