Would you consider the welterweight division the deepest division in boxing now?

    There's so many quality matchups you could make up in this division.

    Thurman-Brook
    Brook-Bradley
    Thurman-Porter 2
    Broner-Pacquiao
    Thurman-Pacquiao
    Porter-Pacquiao
    Brook-Khan
    Spence-Crawford (if Crawford moves up)
    Garcia-Vargas
    Garcia-Thurman
    the combination of good matchups are endless

    any thoughts?

    A lot of good match ups but they aren't fighting each other

    I agree, WW (and HW) could be very exciting.
    You mentioned Spence only once, I think he should become undisputed 147 champion, if he can make weight until 2018.

    you think he can get everyone in the ring with him inside 2 years?
    He's a Floyd promoted fighter, but he can't offer his opponents Floyd kinda paydays, so he'll get ducked like a motha when he turns out to be good enough to unify.

    Spence would be fun to watch against anyone, honestly.

    IF we take Manny & Floyd out of the mix & politics didn't muck shizz up the division would be on fire right now.
    (They need to have their Duran/Leonard III & retire)


    PBC has the best lot of WW's @ the moment IMO & pretty sure once they match everyone then Bobfather & AL will start doing some business.

    It's always came across as an overrated division to me.

    Conversely, which is the thinnest division in boxing?

    from a public standpoint yes, from a personal standpoint I'd say LHW or even HW is starting to ramp up. (HW really will after the Fury/Wlad fight, especially if Fury wins again).
