    Better Prospect - Verdejo or Spence?

    Simple question, if you were to bet on who between Errol Spence and Felix Verdejo will be a P4P fighter in five more years, who would it be and why?

    Verdejo is better from range, where as Errol is much more focused on fighting in the pocket (we haven't really seen Verdejo fight in the pocket yet)....If I had to pick I think Verdejo has more overall talent, but we still don't know how durable he is and how he will do against a fighter who would relentlessly walk him down like Matthyse or Provo and not give him space to work (I know different weight classes but still)...Spence may be more durable.

    Verdejo is also 3.5 years younger than Spence (21.5 vs 25) so I would say he has the most long term potential

        I see more star potential in Verdejo. The kid is genuinely exciting to watch, and I'm hoping he continues to do well as he steps up the levels of competition.

              Spence is crazy good, evwn gave Floyd a black eye. He will be up there soon.

                  Spence is so good that at 26 he still hasn't done anything. LOL

                  Spence doesn't look very special.

                    Verdejo is probably a better prospect as a fighter. Spence is also a good prospect but he really needs to start making a big impact in the next couple of years. He speaks well, he's american and seems a likeable guy from his interviews, so if he is as good as some people think then he could become a big name.
