    personally I think Brook, Spence, Garcia and Spence will be the 4 headed monster of WW til the end of this decade

    Garcia is underrated and is the most seasoned out of all the guys at 140-147

    he is the dark horse, has that x on his back because he doesnt look spectacular every fight

    he had some close calls but I wouldnt be surprised that he became the man at 140

    definitely didnt think he'd be the man at 140 but the kid has this Holyfield type self belief and stubbornness. He always finds a way to win even if the style is difficult to deal with.

      Yeah Garcia getting slept on. Hard. But not surprising, a lot of people on this site aren't good at properly evaluating what they see.

      Anyway, he does have his work cut out for him for at 147. All of those guys are tough matchups and if Spence can continue to make weight then watch out.

        it wont be easy for garcia at 147 but it has never been easy for him. He is used to being the underdog, you can tell by his demeanor and the way he speaks about his career and other fighters.

        They are all tough until he is in the ring with them or see him in the street. They respect him, they just want to be the first to beta him.

        spence looked pretty damn big on an interview I watched last night....said he took 4 weeks off. He looks like he will be very solid and strong at 154, maybe even 160 one day

        if he starts draining, I hope he move sup. He has a promising career. 154 is pretty deep too and many of his advantages will be nullified. The best guys at 154 are like 6' or taller.

          I think Spence would be a problem even at 154, I would pick him to beat both Charlos for sure and Lara too. I think the hardest fights for him would be Castano, Andrade and Jrock, who he already beat in the amateurs.

            I think Andrade would give him the most trouble, or the charlo twin with most pop. he is well rounded

            I think he'll be successful at '54 just not surehow successful until he gets in some top opponents at 147

              Is Bradley finished? Would love to see Bradley vs. Broner fight for the 4th spot! Eventually Spence comes in and creates havoc!

                I think Bradley is on a downward trend. And his chin would struggle to hold up against those guys I mentioned. Plus, he gets knocked down a couple pegs for that horrific performance against Pacquiao -- his worst of the three. That suggests a downward trend as well.

                    We just discussed lol. Really a question if he can stay at 147 (and also how good he is). He looks pretty big now.

                      Thurman has been talking more about other folks than focusing on his upcoming fight. I don't see Porter laying down like Keith thinks.

                      Porter will not smother his own work anymore, he'll smother his opponents work to force inside and then break them down. Only reason he didn't beat down Broner worse is because all of the clinching, same with Brook.

                      I expect Keith to do a lot of 1-2's and moving and once Shawn catches him good he'll be on his bike like Lance Armstrong.

                      The Caveman will show why he shouldn't be underestimated!!
