And I freely accept any criticism for placing him so highly and understand why some might take issue with it.
But, my rationale is heavily weighted due to what he's done this year and how he has done it.
Algieri went the distance with Provo, Pac, and Khan...but he couldn't get out of the 5th with Spence.
Buntu went the distance with Thurman...couldn't get out of the 6th with Errol.
They are just some of the most impressive Ws I have seen this year given who he beat and when he beat them.
Loma's stoppage last night was very impressive, but it was against a guy that had been off a long while and looked it the whole fight.
Yea #5, my bad, but fair enough, your list man, I was just curious. For me Spence is still more of a promising prospect than any kind of P4Per right now, but each to their own.

I respect your opinion.
I just think a fighter who so easily dispatched someone who stood in with and went the distance with 3 of the most dangerous and skilled fighters in the sport trumps anything Loma (and many others) have done so far.
i know your "kind" loves to hate on yourselves....
I have no problems with the white race. I'm of Italian extraction and I consider myself white because of my skin color, although its believed that Italians are a mix of White European, African, Arab and Turkish/Mediterranean. Who the hell even knows.
You on the other hand are the problem. You call me a self-loathing white guy simply because I don't think Loma is quite yet in the top 5 p4p. That right there says it all.

For me what I mainly take from the Algieri and Bundu wins is that the power is real. I am very much hoping that Spence gets his shot at Brook, which should give us a better idea of where he stands.

I take a little more.
Provo is a proven beast and Chris took every thing Ruslan dished.
Pac bounced him around 6 times but couldn't finish him.
And a master technician like Khan had his hands full.
Spence owned him.
Dissected him as easily as a pinned frog.
That, I can't ignore.
Then he stops a guy who never has been stopped and who went the distance with a puncher like Keith.
Yeah, that may not be enough for you and I respect that.
