Anyone think Spence could beat Mayweather at this point?

No, he cant beat him at this point. He needs another step up in competition before he faces someone like a Mayweather or a Pacquiao. If he took on either of those guys right now, with the pay per view lights shining down and an atg staring back at him, he'd probably freeze up a little. Fighting Chris Algeiri in front of a solid size crowd is much different then fighting Mayweather or a Pacquiao in front of a large crowd with the world watching.

A game Spence who won't just follow Floyd around falling into trap after trap might get to him. Easier said than done though, that's the problem. Even more experienced fighters than Spence who have fought at world title level for years fall right into the trap and fight the way Floyd wants them to. I honestly think a very technically sound guy like Spence is easier for Floyd than someone like Maidana. At least with a technically sound fighter, there's a rhyme and reason about their work, a rhythm. With Maidana fighting how he did v Floyd, it's very hard to kind of programme the information into the brain because he's so unorthodox at times.

IMO Spence has a lot of potential but he's not anywhere near there yet.

Too bad we're not going to be able to make a clear determination on Spence's status until he takes on guys like Thurman, Brook, Garcia, etc. Even beating Peterson will do it for me. He's fighting 41 yr old Bundu next. The Algieri that he fought was ill prepared, his own coach admitted he was forced into the fight.

This is one of those polls where you find out what % of NSB is honest and and % is just dishonest and spiteful. ...shows you how desperate some were to see the man lose a fight....sucks to be them

Spence has sparred with Floyd a lot so that is in his favor. I would say no right now given Spence hasn't fought anyone and Floyd would be a Mt. Everest step up in comp. Let's see if Haymon/Floyd throws Spence in with some big dogs after Bundu then we can revisit this.

I still have questions regarding Spence's chin. Wasn't too long ago that he got rocked by Lartey,

Because he beat Algieri?

The Floyd that fought Andre Berto was a Floyd Mayweather Jr that was in clear decline; his boxing brain is still otherworldly and he still has a great gauge for range/distance, but he was missing shots that he never misses, was letting Berto get off with making mistakes and not having to pay, and was sucking oxygen with every opportunity possible. Floyd, at this point and imo, is about where Bernard Hopkins was when he fought Karo Marat; boxing brain on a different level, with the physical tools now limited but with still enough there to hang with anyone near his size. If Erroll Spence Jr is really "the truth", he beats Floyd; Floyd not being all the way sharp any longer, the young lion presses him with the type of ability that Floyd was showing when he was younger, and Floyd simply doesn't hold up. If he's not, Floyd has enough old-school knowledge/guile, with just enough of the physical tools left, to "old man" his way to a win.

I almost voted yes because I thought it said mosley. But nope, it said money. Mayweather wins. Nah Mayweather's too old now. Spence flattens him in 6.

We really have no idea how good Spence really is, lets see how this young man continues to grow He KO'd Broner and gave Mayweather a black eye. Don't delude yourself.

Yes he could beat MAYweather.... Spence is a big natural welter with all e potential in the world,, he has a very good chance of beating the smaller and older Mayweather

OP deserves to get paid for the amount of "street teaming" he's done so far.

As a Floyd hater no way anyone beats him

NO! I'm a big floyd hater but he beats every welter weight right now.

I'd say h*ll yea. Floyd's what 40 or 39 now? I think Spence could win enough rounds to beat Floyd, yes. Look at what Maidana did. He bull rushd him all night and as cement footed and slow he can be, he made it work the best he could and almost won! Let's face it. Floyd is OLD. He may have it in him to take punishment but there's a point where your body will just give in.

At this point I think you might be able to run Floyd down and get to him. That's what Freddie Roach has been talking about with "his legs are gone." If you can keep late 30s Floyd on his toes more than he wants to be, he's going to run out of gas. Nobody was good enough to do that though.

I think he has an excellent chance to beat Mayweather or any other welterweight. He hasn't beaten anybody really good yet but he just crushes pretty good fighters. He seems to have everything going for him. He has fast hands and accurate powerful combinations. He is one of the best body punchers in boxing. He has a highly developed killer instinct. He is hard to hit clean and so far I have never seen him staggered or hurt by any punch so his punch resistance seem very good. Mayweather was great and he is probably still damn good but he gets older and further past prime while Spence is improving. I am not sure of their exact ages but I think Spence is about 14 years younger.I'd pick the younger man if they fought now.
