Better Prospect - Verdejo or Spence?

I would take Verdejo, because I have much more faith in Top Rank developing him into a superstar than PBC

Both will be P4P Fighters one day IMO but Spence Jr is ahead of him at the moment due to him being older but Verdejo has the potential and the backing to become a BIGGER STAR than Spence Jr. We will find out over the next few years FOR SURE!

Verdejo...

you talk a whole lotta bull****. anything you say should not be taken seriously. I'm entitled to my own opinion

Good Puerto Rican fighters are easy to market because the PR fight fans will think they are the greatest thing since sliced bread. But when they lose, its an epic fall from grace. Look at Juanma Lopez, perfect example. Spence is light years better than Verdejo. Spence went further in the olympics. Lomachenko whooped Verdejo in the olympics I believe, and beat Valdez as well. you talk a whole lotta bull****. anything you say should not be taken seriously.

verdejo is, because he's younger. he's at triple aaa ball. spence is supposed to be in the majors already.

Perhaps I'm setting a trap for myself - but these guys particularly have shown a certainly level of skillsets that seem special as opposed to the current crop of 'top' talent. There's so many variable that are unknown at this point though. Various intangibles that are unseen until they step into the ring against proper competition such as chin, grit, guts, adaptability,etc.

Perhaps I'm setting a trap for myself - but these guys particularly have shown a certainly level of skillsets that seem special as opposed to the current crop of 'top' talent. I agree. I have not seen much of Loma, but Spence and Verdejo are looking to be something special. Loma's fight with Siri was ugly...

I think you're falling for the same trap others fell for with the previous crop you mentioned. The need to label unproven prospects as future greats, P4P Kings, or the "Future" when they have zero accomplishments and are facing tailor made opposition. There's still plenty of work to be done on both sides( Spence, Verdejo) in order to materialize into truly elite fighters. I wouldn't be comfortable ranking one over the other until I've seen them step up the competition. At this point it's simply potential, hopefully they pan out.

I think Verdejo is the better talent - I do think w/i five years they both will be top 10 p4p guys. I think the next wave of talent is much more exciting than this current wave. Verdejo, Spence, Loma are the future - the current crop of "top" talent like Kahn, Broner and Canelo are just average to below average guys that rose up in an era of mediocrity. This current gen are just filling a void once the old guard retires like May, Pac, Cotto, BHop, JMM etc. The guys currently are just filler until Spence, Verdejo and Loma are ready to take the reigns I think you're falling for the same trap others fell for with the previous crop you mentioned.

I think Spence I have seen more from him

If you KO Broner, and give mayweather a black eye, it is no question who the better prospect is. Spence easily

Jose Ramirez>Spence and Verdejo But Ill answer your question , its Verdejo>spence blue chip- Verdejo bum - Jose Ramirez bum - Spence

I've seen a lot more of Spence at the pro level. I remember Verdejo from the Olympics because he gave Lomachenko all he could handle. They both have great potential. I'll need to catch more of Verdejo's pro fights. Seems like he's always on Top Rank TV or Unimas.

I was literally just having this conversation with someone on youtube the other day. Boy these two figters are the cream of the crop. I honestly don't know. To me they are both 1A and 1B. I still have to see how they go through adversity and if they can adjust.

Spence isn't 26...He just turned 25 2 months ago..... Google is your friend http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Errol_Spence also GGG is 1 month away from being 33....Kovalev is 1 month away from being 32 That idiot just hates on Black American fighters no matter how good and humble they are....His girlfriend probably got banged by a Black guy redtube style lol.... GGG is nearly 8 years older (7 years 9 months to be exact) than Spence and Kovalev is nearly 7 years older (6 years 9 months) than Spence....Who were they fighting at age 25? Absolutely nobodies. Well Gennady had recently turned pro so of course he's going to be fighting no names and Kovalev hadn't even turned pro yet so that argument doesn't hold any weight.

26 isn't that much, dude. you act as if he was 32. besides, the reason for that is he had a long amateur career, part of the reason he is so good. if you dont think he looks special you dont know boxing.

both are very good. Verdejo is much younger and has a a good fan base. Spence though in sparring KO'd Broner and gave Floyd the business-which shows how talented he is. I'd give the nod to Verdejo given the age and the fan base. WTF does that have to do with how good a fighter is?
