Well no one is saying Spence is no.1 P4P, So doesn't really have a point there. But it's funny to me that the LDBC, particularly EGO, won't give Loma credit for beating Rigo (Despite him picking Rigo to win), and then he comes out with a video asking why Spence isn't getting credit for beating Mikey. Well if you're not going to give GGG credit and Loma credit, why expect any for Spence?
Of course he has a point! There's a lot of people that will only give credit to the first two fighters and a lot of people who will only give credit to the third fighter on the picture.
Very few will give credit or critisize all three
I give the proper credit and criticism to all 3. FYI.
Spence is getting credit because of the nature of how he won. He won using his boxing IQ and skill to outclass this master boxer.
Lomachenko did the same to Rigondeaux and receives some credit for it.
GGG was getting lit up and outboxed until he was forced to just bulldoze and use his size advantage.
And of course the obvious, Mikey Garcia had a belt 1 weight class below Spence.
To the dummies talking about Mikey fighting at 140, his last fight before Spence was Robert Easter Jr. at lightweight. So he indeed moved up 2 weight classes.
Of course he has a point! There's a lot of people that will only give credit to the first two fighters and a lot of people who will only give credit to the third fighter on the picture.

People love to rewrite history. :lol1:
Gee was top 5 P4P despite being in nothing but mismatches his whole career and his best win was fcking leamiux. This was before the jacobs fight of course.
Boxing writers actually put Loma P4P #1 after he beat Rigondeaux. Shills like fat dan said he can beat floyd too
Also, you can make the case Mikey technically didn't move up 2 weight classes considering the fact he's fought at 140 more than he's fought at 135. I still don't consider it a great win though
These are all facts :rofl:
And #SpenceGarcia had the biggest size disparity too..pfft..�� #DummyGraphic pic.twitter.com/QGNDkqnmiv— Haymonites (@ego_biggest) March 19, 2019
Brook outweighed GGG. And he was pure muscle. Wasn't fat like Mikey.
Since boxing is based on weight classes, from all those cases, the less bad scenario is GGG-Brook.
You have to consider for example when GGG was Canelo's mandatory, Canelo asked for a voluntary defense against Amir Khan, signed a document stating he would fight Golovkin after, proceeded to invite him to the ring after the fight, and then vacated the belt to duck. That's awful.
Any way, what they are saying is... if you didn't give credit to the others.. why give credit to Spence? Spence had every advantage. Weight, height, reach.
