    No, it doesn`t. Spence is a huge welterweight, camping in this division his whole career. Him beating Crawford, ex lightweight, won`t prove anything.

    Can Spence beat anybody at 154 -160? Now, that would be big.
    With a win saturday, Spence would have beat more quality fighters than inoue..

    So I disagree

    bud, ugas, Porter, brook> donaire, butler, fulton, Rodriguez

      bud and spence are top 5 p4p? Yes or no question.

      Both are on every single p4p list. Fulton wasn't. So we're not about to act like inoue beating Fulton ranks higher than bud beating spence or vice versa.

      As we speak inoue is definitely number 1. But that dont hold up after saturday. Especially if bud wins. That's 2 undisputed divisions. Which is what the monster is chasing now.

      don't be a hypocrite
      I don’t think a Spence win puts him at #1 p4p, but if Bud wins that makes him a 2 time undisputed champ in 2 weight divisions, with a win over a p4p level fighter in Spence. A win for Crawford elevates him to the p4p throne, Spence has to show more by moving up

        P4P lists are always dynamic. Inoue can be #1 today and #2 Sunday morning, it really doesn't change the fact that Inoue, Bud, Spence are the top of the sport right now. I used to agree with Ring magazine's P4P list before Oscar bought it but now I've found that it's better to just wait until the end of the year to really discuss who was P4P #1 in 2023. Otherwise we'd be getting into arguments that are purely based on opinion and influenced by the heat of the moment

          Yea ok Jacob
          When you're blasting away the competition like Inoue, Saturday changes nothing.

            This dude keeps modesty and composure even after such dominant perfomance , no matter what happens on saturday this man is the P4P numero 1 in my book.

            One thing for sure is I expect both spence and bud to deliver and make it a competitive scrap ,something cool boy steph was unable to do today, expected more from him tbh.

                    I mean, he went straight to the top dog at 122 and KO'd him. IMO all he has left at that weight is to become undisputed against Tapales and then he can move up to FW

                      Agreed. I love how they had Tapales there for the fight and set up the unification.

                      Seems like The plan was for him to fight the winner all along. Love that. Need more of this.
