    Agree it's sad tho the welterweight division is stacked with young talent.... But all that talent and it's like a dessert

    We need to see crawford vs a pbc fighter next.
    Thurman, porter, or dsg.
    I don’t care what it takes. They need to make it happen.

    Why’s that?
    Nobody wants to fight him.
    Crawford vs Spence are the best two welters.
    They should both fight a top guy next and then fight.

    That's a fifty fifty fight in my opinion. However if Thurman can keep Pac honest then I think he can win.

    Since no one is fighting him he's wasting away his prime . Only fought Kell Brook and held the ibf title for one year and a half. The guy is 28 at the moment. But he's wasting away sitting on the sidelines. He's not fighting Crawford he's not fighting thurman or Garcia. Usually when no one wants to fight a fighter they usually move up . He needs to do something fast. In two years time

    Mikey garcia is a big fight any way you cut the cake. After that, maybe he can get a porter or Thurman.
    I would take mikey to beat Danny porter or Thurman. At this stage.

    I’ve watched the brook fight over twice and it’s gonna be quite the uphill battle for garcia. We know brook if anything was strong. Spence got the best of brook on the in fighting. Jabbed his face up good to. Errol has a lot of stamina. If he needs to gas up he’s shown he can box n move aswell.
    That’ll be interesting because I haven’t seen anybody control range and distance as consistent as Mikey other then maybe crawford.
    Gonna be good.

    Nothing against the two but i think them being considered the best in welter was based on eye test which is not always reliable. If we go by accomplishments thurman is on top then porter and if we go by last six fights pac is three.

    I don't think that Spence is wasting his talent at this time. The welter division is about to explode with some exciting fights and Spence will be a part of that. I also think that Crawford and Spence is the top of the line in the division, then Thurman. After that, Pac ,Porter and Danny in no particular order.
