    To seriously answer

    Spence and Crawford are clear 1 and 2.

    Beyond that it's hard. I mean would I actually expect Pacquiao to beat Porter today? Probably not, I'd love it to happen but how long can he turn back the hands of time? I don't know how much he's got left.

    In fact I'd probably say the top 10 are

    Spence/Crawford
    Porter

    Isn't Thurman retired ? Might as well be. Hasn't fought in getting on 2 1/2 years and fought twice in 4 1/2 years. Completely wasted his prime.

    Very interesting times ahead for the WW division with Ortiz, Ennis and Butaev on the rise.

    1. Spence
    2. Crawford
    3. Porter
    4. Ugas
    5. Thurman
    6. D. Garcia
    7. Ortiz
    8. Ennis
    9. Butaev
    10. Got stock here. Could it be Qudratillo? Or Abel Ramos, Besputin, Stanionis? Hard to say.

    Was going to put my list up but saw yours and went hmm? I'll go with this one. Ennis is the one fighter I might have one spot higher but it's a good list. Especially without any of those shot Garcia fighters on it.

    This is the worst division in boxing. Has some good names, but the top welterweights all avoid fighting each other. **** them.

    Thurman hasn't fought in long enough to be ranked anymore for me. Otherwise he could've been 5th or 6th.
    There's a solid top 20 if I may say so myself.

    Yeah. It's bizzare to me how some people still have him in their top 10.

    To put things into perspective, Sergey Kovalev and Denis Lebedev even fought more recently than Keith Thurman.
