    Your opinion doesn’t Equal facts.

    Thurman is the most accomplished WW with wins over chaves, porter, d. Garcia, guererro, bundu, Quintana, karrass, collazo, Lopez and Julio Diaz. Except for Pac who is way past it, Thurman has the best resume and I’d actually in his prime. No one else comes close.

    Spence has a better resume and would stop Thurman and Pac.

    All this BS revisionist history. Nobody even gave Pac a chance at 126 let alone against Cotto.

    He has 8 division titles.

    Wake me up when that happens againm

    Thurman got caught in one round and maybe lost the one after. Other than that, he put on a measured clinic against Lopez winning 10 rounds or at worst 9 rounds.

    Pacquiao was 40 years old.

    Why can't you ever give credit?

    You and the other fanboys/alts screw up your own agenda by pushing nonsense. Thurman is a nice step before challenging the top dogs at welter. Thurman isn’t the top of the mountain, “arguably” or otherwise. He’s a shell of the B+ champion that he used to be.

    It’s the same as claiming Mayweather is GOAT because he beat Berto while old. Berto was a shell of a former B+ champ. Same ****.

    Better resume how? Are you dense?

    And stop him? Like he stopped Mikey? Lol ok.

    Spences upcoming superfight is against a fighter Thurman already beat, sit on that.

    Porter is better than Thurman in 2019.

    Spence beat the guy who beat Porter before Thurman. Sit on that.

    Are you dense lol?

    He is an atg no doubt, calling him the goat is way too far though. Thurman, whilst a good contender, was only a mere belt holder and not even in contention of being the top guy at 147. Without the belt, historically the win over Thurman, whilst impressive, isn't anything particularly significant. If he were to beat either Spence or Crawford, then he'd elevate himself to top 10 and surpass Floyd.

    In this boxing world of politics and fighter stables I don't think Pacquiao or really anyone else can surpass SRR as being the GOAT, Robinson beat the top guys in the division at a time when it was more clear who they were.

    A win over a damaged moving down Brook and a small moving up Garcia is better than clean wins over Porter and Danny Garcia?

    Ok then. Also if he couldn't stop a lightweight, I highly doubt he's stopping Pacquiao

    Brook>Porter
    Mikey>Danny
    Peterson>Collazo
    Chris Van Heerdan> whomever else Thurman beat

    Never mistake dominance for poor opposition.

    A damaged Brook is better than Porter?
    Would Mikey beat Danny?

    You’re English? I’m not aware of any damage that Brook had, other than what Spence administered.

    Mikey would beat Danny.
