It's been a while since one of these two weren't the best welters. Mayweather is retired (maybe not according to Master) and pac looked less than stellar. Pac is still relatively really good but I don't think he looks like the best in his weight class anymore. Here's how I think he matches up with other Welters.
Garcia- I think pac can still beat Garcia but Garcia may be able to catch him a few times because pac just doesn't have the speed he used to. I think Garcia would rock him once or twice but still lose
Thurman- Thurman doesn't have a great chin and is open to get hit a lot but I think his strength and athleticism at this point are too much for pac and he would make pac go into a shell after getting hit a few times
Porter- Porter I think wins this with his strength. I think that he is just too strong for pac and this point of his career and would push him to the ropes.
Brook- I think Brook would just be a way better version of Vargas. He would actually use his jab and would throw that right hand more effectively.
Crawford- Crawford wrecks pac I think. I think it's a KO. He is way too fast and accurate. I think a prime pac has problems with Crawford because of styles but this version of pac gets beat easily.
Spence- call me crazy but I think Spence wins this. The only reason i think he doesn't is because of lack of experience in a big fight. That would be a huge fight for Spence to get to become a superstar.
So really, I think pac loses to just about every top welter. It wouldn't surprise me for him to beat any of these guys (except Crawford) but I don't think he beats them all.
