I seen some overreaction going around with some saying he's #1 but i dont see it.
You have other guys like Crawford,Loma, Mikey, Canelo where these guys either unified or moved up multiple weight classes. Usyk now going to HW to challenge himself also.
Spence only has one title and idk if he wants to move up.
You guys keep saying he hasn't done anything but hes a top fighter and top name in the sport in a loaded division.
But no one wants to fight him... How can u do anything when no one is willing to fight you? No one wanted him except Mikey Garcia and look what happened. Please don't say Crawford he's exclusively signed to ESPN.
All the names and title holders except Crawford are with PBC.. They just refuse to fight him. Didn't Golovkin go top 3 without fighting anyone? He was there before he even fought Jacobs.
completely true. thats why I don't rate Crawfish(You heard me,yes you. u know who u are that is about to question me calling him crawfish) despite him having the 2nd best skillset at welter imho.
Crawfish has looked sht against a c level with 1 leg & his best win was 5 yrs ago vs Gamboa. He knew when he signed with Arum he was lining himself up 4 a never-ending stream of in house top rank bums,he knew even though hed have to face mandatories Arum would just bribe the WBO to rank no hopers as #1 contenders.

Why is everyone so certain that Crawford is above him? Strictly eye test? Because his resume is no worse. The size difference between Mikey and Spence seemed less significant than the one between Gamboa and Crawford
Beating a guy coming down two weights who's not looked the same and beating a guy who moved up two and quite frankly looked like Brandon Rios last night is P4P worthy? This is the gold standard in boxing today?
Naa go beat Porter\Ugas and Crawford, Thurman then we'll talk P4P.
I don't and Mikey isn't P4P either, period.
I like Spence but people need to chill with P4P talks.
Its like fans are so desperate to put fighters on these mythical lists for what? Too look cool?
You'll have one guy who's cleared a division against monsters he might not be on their list. But they'll have someone who's best win is Jamie McDonnell in the top 3 - They've probably only seen a 3 minute highlight reel and my nan could probably beat a severely weight drained Jamie McDonnell.

Above Inoue but under Usyk, Crawford, Canelo, Loma and SSR!
The rest of those slots are vacant IMO!
Not much has happened besides Canelo beating the boogeyman of 160 and #1 guy at 160 and Usyk cleaning out Prime champs at cruiser in their hometowns!
Bud and Loma must step it up after this or Spence will be taking over, especially if he gets Pacquiao, Porter and Thurman eventually!
SSR is already getting ready to tangle again with Estrada who’s just outside the top 10, Mikey drops to #11!
Interesting times, Canelo has a great chance to have a banner year as well!
Moves up a couple of spots after last night, strictly from skill perspective. Maybe ~7th? You have...
Usyk
TC
Loma
Rungvisai
Canelo
Golovkin
Spence / Inoue
He's probably top 10, bassed off of ability and potential alone. Hasn't really done anything to improve his position P4P since winning a World title. He needs to go to 154 and beat a champion there. Castano, Harrison and Mungaia, all winnable fights for Earl.
