    Supposing Pacqiuao is retired, is E. Spence better than Thurman, Porter, Brook, Bradley ? I have a strong feeling - answer is YES. I believe that he will become new undisputed WW champ if he can make 147 (maybe he is too big).

    I'd like to see him in with Brook before making that call.

    I think he has everything (power, chin, mobility, skills, stamina, heart)except experience on the top level. I am totally unbiased (white, straight, Eastern Europian).

    Yea pretty much

    A young natural welterweight...it's just a matter of time intill he takes over.

    Brook, Thurman and Porter are the only real Welters although Porter is abit on the short side. Brok & Thurman taking their sweet ass time.

    Bradley is the best man in the division currently again abit on the short side and severely lacks power not to mention is getting on age now.

    Khan has the skills to compete at the weight but nothing else going for him.

    2 years time Khan & Bradley will be retired. Brook probably lost or moved up in weight.

    Thurman? hard to say...lets hope for his sake he beats Porter.

    Crawford is the man at 140 and will be for many years if he beats Postol. I think the same will hold true for Spence. Lets hope mr.puffy nips doesn't fail any tests.
     
  6. No. Brook would manhandle him. That's why Haymon turned down a voluntary now- he's either hoping Brook outgrows the division, or he's gonna sacrifice Khan to Brook for 5x the money and hope Brook vacates when Spence becomes mandatory (for the record I think Spence does want the fight but his people know it won't end well for him).

    Spence Jr is special talent and he may be the best in the division right now but it has to be proven in the ring. He is up there with Danny Garcia and Kell Brook.

    I just looked at the boxrec rankings and they have Thurman as #1 for some reason

    Garcia has 3 % chances against Spence. Maybe 5 % - because of his judges....

    Honestly, I like Spence and I dislike Garcia a lot. I also think Garcia is overrated. But taking that into account Garcia has a much better resume. Even when you remove his sketchy decisions. Garcia also has a good chin, real power, and good counter punching skills.He is also a proven 12 round fighter. He has more than enough to take Spence into deep waters and completely expose parts of his game we haven't seen tested yet.

    Honestly, I think you are wrong. I didn't mention Garcia, Khan and Broner. Spence would destroy all of them, easily.
