The champions in the division are as follows:

Shawn Porter (WBC)
Keith Thurman (WBA super)
Manny Pacquiao (WBA regular)
Terrence Crawford (WBO)
Errol Spence (IBF)

Call it the "Fantastic Five" World Boxing Classic? Name would be a work in progress. However, with the back, and forth bravado shown throughout the division, and each fighter holding a belt apiece it wouldn't be a bad idea?

Give Thurman a pass until he has fully healed, however they could line up fights right away for the other participants. No more excuses, one guy emerges as the Andre Ward of that division. One guy would have all the hardware.

Good idea, or no?
 
It would be great but I don’t see it happening. Potentially you could see Spence, Porter and Thurman in a theoretical boxing super series or super six style tournament since they’re all in the same stable but I don’t see Crawford or Pacquiao taking part. There’s just too many political barriers that would have to be crossed.
