The welterweight division completely fell apart.
Kell Brook's eye.
Spence's accident and now eye injury.
Thurman being injured and losing to Pac.
Crawford never getting a Spence fight.
Too many great fights that never got made.
Oh well, it's up to Blair Cobb to save this wretched division now.

i said it for YEARS this WW era wasn't anything special and overrated.no matter the names in this division...it hadn't been top 5 in a long time
but even i cant believe this is how the division played out
..fukkery and mad food left on the table
we can go further with 147
broner - a shell of himself
danny garcia - flopped at this weight
porter - overachieved to a degree but his wild ass fights are going to catch up to him..lord knows his body is telling him its time to go back to 154
mikey garcia - a wildcard

i mean choc its not like these nikkas wear sports goggles in the ring when they spar
it depends if it was just one shot that did it or he was getting consistent hands put on him by his sparring partner like it was rumored
so it was a detachment and not a tear..so that is worse than the tear they were talking about before...yikes
That type of headgear plus 16oz gloves that’s a freak accident or the eye was fukked over time

Its ironic that Spence has somewhat become the new One Time. Car accident , serious injuries in the prime of their career when they should be having the biggest fights of their career ….The welterweight division completely fell apart.

We never gonna get Ennis/Ortiz and Benn probably won’t be in the mix when they got Belts huh

Damn, I forgot that Keith Thurman was in an accident too. I think it was @ChocolateGiddyUp who kept saying Keith got whiplash from bumping into a Costco shopping cart or something, completely downplayed whatever happened to Keith for me.
You don't think Boots Ortiz ever gets made?
That's kinda like the last hope for the division in my eyes.

Boots is a Showtime guy and strikes me as a “PBC Lifer” . And as my guy @patscorpio would say Ortiz is Oscar’s true Golden Boy.. unless Oscar fumbled the (Coke) bag … he should do whatever it takes to keep Ortiz for the prime of his career.Damn, I forgot that Keith Thurman was in an accident too.

Both guys should be have Belts though Ennis is big for 147 and have their 0’s intact when the fight is marinated and ready to cook…. I mentioned it on the RGR podcast, but for the Welterweight division.. Spence being stripped due to his injuries might be the best thing for Boxing, that way there’s a chance Ennis can get a strap here soon.. and the hold up top, is somewhat let go of.
Unless they’re on the same side of the street , do you honestly see the fight happening in the age of political boxing we’re in?

Well, it seems to me like everyone takes Espinoza for granted, and no one is truly an exclusive showtime guy.
Unless Tank or a Charlo do have an exclusive contract with showtime that I'm unaware of.
I don't think Boots is actually a part of PBC right? Al isn't his manager?

I know he had some promoter contractual issues like Andrade and etc. had but that seemed to clear up.. I mean he seems like he’s a PBC fighter. I don’t see him randomly fighting on a TR Or DAZN card, so maybe technically he‘a not with PBC but he seems to have some sort of Showtime Deal which makes sense. I’m pretty sure we’ll his 147/154/160 campaigns on ShowTime.Well, it seems to me like everyone takes Espinoza for granted, and no one is truly an exclusive showtime guy.
