If Spence beats Bud does he have a better run at Welter than Floyd?

[dibzvincent143]

This is a genuine question. If Spence beats Bud does he have a better run at Welterweight than Floyd?

Brook, Porter, Danny, Ugas, Bud + undisputed. Cleaned out the entire division. Could’ve had Thurman but he ducked. And the Pac fight got cancelled. So it’s tight.

Floyd as great as he is, hasn’t fought anyone at the same level as current Spence and Crawford at welterweight.
Pac was only 35 when he fought him, but clearly lost a step already, has been planked few fights ago and hasn’t had a KO in like 6 years.
Crawford still at his peak, no extreme wear and tear and no losses and Spence at 33 is also on top of his game.

Maybe prime Hatton? But that dude ain’t beating Spence or Crawford.

So yep, spence would be a greater ATG welterweight than floyd. Wouldn’t necessarily mean he’d beat Floyd.

Guess you’re done crying. Go snivel to someone else. You’re too emotional. Maybe if you got that sex change you’d be a happier person.

Agreed. Not saying he’d be a greater P4P fighter overall than Floyd. But as a Welter ATG? Yes.

Any top WW who wants to he taken seriously and be a HOF WW, who only fought at WW, and whose majority of fights were at WW, should absolutely aim to have a better resume than Mayweather at WW. Bare minimum.

Why? Mayweather had 34 fights under 147, and 16 at 147 and above. That’s 68% of his career taking place below 147.

That’s equal to Spence moving up to 160-168 and fighting there until 40 years old, beating top 10 fighters up there, staying undefeated.

That's a good point.

You'd expect a career WW who's P4P fighter to have a better record than a guy who was there for his 4th weight class.

But even still, Floyd's is better I'd say.
