      There is tbh.

      I am sure a history buff will tell us who the last welter to beat The Middleweight champ was. But I doubt many of us were alive.

        100% agree.

        We had some awful fights last year. So as boxing fans it is our job to support the good fights whenever they get made.

          Brook˙s best win is Porter, it was clinching all night long. Spence will not allow him this. Spence punches harder than anybody Brook has faced at 147.

          Brook can win this but it will be close.

            There have been many WWs who moved up and won world titles at MW. The most famous example is Sugar Ray Leonard beating Hagler.

              I really want to see what Spence is made of, this is whole different level for him so yeah I want to see how or what he does in there, over the last 5/6 years only two fighters have gain the respect of their fellow boxers in the gym. GGG and Spence, I have heard others talking about these two even before they became known to the boxing public, so far GGG is passing the punching power test, now lets see Spence and what he can do against tougher opponent, so far he seems to be improving as his opponent level goes up.

                  There we go then. Brook is good but he ain't feckin Sugar Ray Leonard.

                  Just looked it up Emile Griffith is 1966 is the last reigning welter champ to win a middleweight championship.

                  Fair enough for GGG to batter him Brook in the end but put in the context of history it's not great is it?

                    Good test for Spence. Although also a good test for brook who only several months back was claiming he was naturally a middleweight! we'll see how he does coming back down in weight. Could be dangerous.

                      Spence has a bad recovery time I believe. In the Lartey fight, he was hit with the FIRST flush head snapping shot at the end of round 7,he went ***** street in the last 10 seconds. Then in round 8, he was still buckled and refused to engage with Lartey till the end of the fight. I know that was 2013 but recovery time is genetics.
                      Lol, sounds like pure bro science.....

                      Before the GGG fight I gave the Brook the edge. Not so sure now. It'll be pretty hard to overcome the weight issue and injured eye while fending off a hungry contender like Spence.....
