Brook vs Spence will be the fight in 2017

RichCCFC10y ago

Khan, Thurman, Porter, Bradley are all just pawns. These two will come out on top and the winner of this will be crowned king.

Spence looked like he could give any welterweight trouble now and I don't think he needs to wait until 2017. Lots could happen in two years. Brook or Spence might fight Thurman soon and Thurman might beat them. Porter is right up there too. Pacquiao and Bradley are both good. The welterweights are very strong and I don't think you can narrow it down to just being between Brook and Spence as to who is the top welterweight. It might be somebody else.

10y ago

Spence vs Crawford is going to be the Lower Weight fight we all seek. That would be dope. Crawford would need to move up and see how he fights at WW. Assuming he carries his speed and power, that would be an interesting fight.

10y ago

Yea, Brook who fought Frankie Gavin, now is trying to target Rios a blown up light weight. Brook who avoided Mike Jones. Has Brook in his whole life fought anyone his own size, who was decent? Nope. Brook would never fight Spence. Spence would KO him.

read my posts from years back if you think i just jump on bandwagons!

Spence hype train is hilarious

Spence the flavor of the month now, huh?

10y ago

Crawford is king. Not sure he's big enough (yet) to mix with guys like Brook but he probably will be soon.

10y ago

Bradley isn't gonna be able to fight any of those guys, which is a damn shame. Khan is skating by right now, so it's difficult to gauge where he stands. Thurman still needs one or two notable opponents. That's why Khan/Thurman should happen.

10y ago

Will be Crawford vs one of them. Don't know for sure but Crawford is the cream that will rise to the top.

10y ago

Think your jumping the gun a bit there!! Maybe. Brook is proven, Spence has immense talent though and I've been saying it for ages. Talent wise I think he may be the best. Both are the cream of the crop, I like Thurman a lot for what he brings, great for boxing, but his fundamentals are lacking. I like Crawford too, he will make an impact, but I like Brook's size combined with skills to beat him.
