    So by your 'logic' if Spence is the most overrated boxer today but he beats Packy then what does that make Packy? You need to keep away from those street corner durgs.
    Spence is a good solid fighter I think about Ike Quartey level with less one-shot power, I don't see that as overrated, but if I said Spence was ATG material that's overrating him.

    So could Ike Quartey beat a 42yr old Manny ?

      Hes a good fighter he isnt a generational talent though in my eyes just the most solid at 147 and likely the hardest to dethrone and thats enough in an era with no fighters like pac and floyd

      Maybe crawford is the only threst but even he is judged on the eye test and not his actual achievements

        Disagree. Spence is legit. Tested in some tough fights. Just wish he fought Thurman so that we could have had a proper welterweight king crowned when they were both peaking.

          ive always loved floyd...especially when he turned into "money"....i loved watching him get under peoples skin and knowing the whole time he was still training like he was broke and every opponent, even if he knew was a level or several below him, was trying to take money off his plate

          anyways.....have a blast!
          Thank you bro, I'll make sure to take pics to show all of yall, that's what I loved about Floyd, he knew that the more people that hated him, the more people would want to watch him lose and in the end, he would get paid, dude made millions like that.

            Errol Spence is almost close to the same aura as Hagler. The only thing missing is the lack of "Hall of Fame" worthy fights. He's finally getting it with Pac tho. Just like how Hagler is remembered with Duran, Hearns, and Leonard.

              This makes no sense. The guy is a legit champion who has beaten legit champions. He's only had one close fight his whole career.

                Trinidad, Oscar and Duran would have stopped him

                  spence wont fight thurman because why? because he said he wouldnt? lol......sorry just because it hasnt happened doesnt mean it wont...hes been busy with others guy like brook, danny, mikey, porter and pac.....which blows away crawford resume by a long shot....ill bet you spence/thurman happens before top rank makes a real offer to shawn porter...or before bud/spence.....just because spence trash talks thurman doesnt mean that fight cant happen...if al haymon wants it to happen it will

                  youre so out of touch its scary
                  Crawford was trying to fight Pacman because he is a free agent. All the other relevant WW's at PBC are afraid of Crawford. So Crawford was trying to fight the person not afraid.

                  And, in case you missed it, Roach indirectly said they "picked Spence over Crawford for a REASON"

                    They picked Spence over Crawford for a REASON and the reason was that Crawford DIDNT SIGN THE CONTRACT LMAO!


                    You had it the other way around. It was Crawford who is afraid of all the other relevant welterweights!

                      I agree completely Spence is very overrated. His resume is Brook after the GGG fight, and fighters Keith Thurman already beat in Garcia and Porter. His resume is not that impressive and I think a fight between him and Crawford would be very one sided in favor of Crawford.
