    After watching last nights debacle Spence must be a clear number one in the division,

    I have it like this

    Spence


    Thurman

    Brook
    Porter
    Horn
    Pacquioa
    Peterson
    Garcia
    Vargas
    Collazo

    Khan & Broner - do what you want but you don't get into the top 5.

    Spence stops Pacquioa at this stage of their careers , probably by a 10th round beat down.

    Horn isn't special but now needs to be top 5 after last night.

    I had it close no robbery.

    Peace.

    He's at the top but it's certainly not "clear".

    It's between him and Thurman.

    I think Spence is the best 147 lb'er too but he's not "levels" above Thurman.

    Spencer and Thurman are at the top. What is fact is that its ridiculous that Horn is now the #1 ranked WW.

    Brook is done.

    I put Porter there too because I truly believe he beat Thurman. Clearly.

    I was not impressed with spence against Brook the only reason he got the stoppage was because of brook mental problems with his broken eye socket infact he even fought back despite having the thought of going blind in his head

    Another massive welterweight enters Top 5 (Horn). Weight cutting has evolved in the last 5 years.

    Porter is solid and vastly underrated, him v Spence would be an excellent fight.

    This. Brook held that title hostage doing anything in his power to avoid fighting a threat. After the GGG fight Brook, who was never anything special anyway was damaged goods. Still not sold on Spence until he beats Garcia, Thurman, or Vargas since Spence's stamina seems highly suspect and those guys have better stamina and are more durable than Brook is.

    Thurman will never be able to live with those body shots. Not in a million years.

    The ponytail is so unbelievably overrated it is beyond a joke. Spence would make him bow down unto his knees in submission just like he did to Brook whose career he has completely destroyed.

    I never forget the story of how he made Broner cry out and exclaim ''I can't move my legs' after getting body pumped during a sparring session when Spence was just a novice

    What are basing this on? Spence was being outboxed and losing the vast majority of his match against the fairly stationary Brook up until Kell's fragile glass orbital bones shattered again? What happens if he doesn't break his next opponents orbital bone? Do they keep winning?
