    If one of todays welters` were transported to being in the ring with Spence in his first pro fight what percentage of them would lose?

    That's a really good guess, i was looking around 180-190 in boxrec (90th percentile) and it was mixed as far as who I thought would win. More solid down at 77th percentile.

    I thought it was a better styled question than how many welter`s could he have beaten back then as I don`t know how many welter`s were active back then so styled the question in a vague style, you catch my drift?

    I really like the question, good opportunity to dig into the lower ranks.
