    Khan loses to every damn one of em, that's all I'll say.

    You might wanna also add Sadam Ali to the list. Ali is a player at 147. I'd pick Ali over Garcia, Khan, and Porter.

    It's difficult to say cause some of these matchups are based on styles.

    For instance, I'd confidently pick Brook over Garcia. And I think Thurman has the style to beat Brook. And I think Garcia would have a good shot at Thurman.

    Bradley I'd make a favorite over Garcia and Porter. But I'd pick Bradley to lose against Brook and Thurman.

    Manny is STILL the betting favorite over all of them, but at this point there's a few guys on that list who might be capable of upsetting Pac. Or, maybe Manny STILL beats em all.

    Spence.... you know my feelings on Spence. I think he's the most talented of all them not named Manny, but time will tell how he does.

    The two guys on that list who I don't think much of are Khan and Porter.

    Ignoring Spence until he establishes himself, Thurman has the best chance to run the table with Brook being his toughest test. Pac is done imo.

    Thurman does have a pretty good chance to run the table since Run Time no wants parts of Spence.

    Based on Thurman getting hurt and tagged consistently by a washed up Collazo, I think even today's Pac would be bad news for Thurman.

    I think Crawford beats Pac, but TC is a different league fighter than Thurman.

    Actually, I take back what I said about Bradley-Garcia. Not sure who I'd pick in that one. Bradley proved nothing to me against Rios IMO. Rios was D O N E in there. A fat, walking punching bag who was severely outta shape.

    Danny Gift is limited, but he has good enough pop and timing to really test Bradley. I think I'd still have to favor Timmy if he utilized his legs, as Garcia's feet are so slow he makes Canelo's feet look lightning quick.

    Plus, Garcia got a gift decision over Bradley's son, Peterson.

    Errol Spence- Beats all them IMO. Even Pacquiao. TODAY'S version of Pacman that is. I just feel that he's the best talent in that division currently and I'd make him the favorite over all of them. He'll be avoided like the plague though he has a chance to place himself in line for a mandatory position for Kell Brook's IBF belt, whatever that means.

    Kell Brook- I'd favor Brook SLIGHTLY over Thurman, and I think he'd definitely beat hell outta Garcia, and he'd ice Khan. He'd be even money with today's version of Pac.

    Danny Garcia- I think he'd be even money against Thurman, but would lose to Spence, Brook, Pac, and Bradley. He'd still blast Khan't and would beat Porter.

    Crawford beat a feather weight and two fringe contenders and now he's the people's champ. Lol

    Damn, looking at that list, it does seems that some good fights could be made. Sadly, it seems we have nothing on the horizon apart from maybe Pac-TC (which I doubt happens)
