    Quick question, if GGG ever becomes the fighter his fans and HBO want us to believe he is, will you give him his props?

    Or have his fans done/said too much?

    That's how I feel with Pac. Whether or not he was on PEDs, catchweights and **** aside, dude is a HoFer, and LEGIT ATG.

    But his fans... Good Lord in heaven, I couldn't handle them dudes.
    Sure I would

    But I'm SURE he's not the fighter they're led to believe he is.

    If I'm wrong I'll admit it.

      Lets be ***ing real here!!!!! This is not about Spence and GGG. I have countless times seen the same group of posters again and again and again attack GGG, Lom, and Kov and that is NO COINCIDENCE! And another set of posters constantly attack Floyd, Crawford, Spence, and now Gervanta and that is NO COINCIDENCE! Everyone needs to cut the ***ing BS!!! This has always come down to racial favoritism and or racial dislike. How many of you can claim you have NEVER pulled for a fighter just because he was your race or color or against another fighter because of his race or color??? Go ahead, post your name if you have never done this! I have many times signed my name to the fact that I have NEVER pulled for or against a fighter because of his color or race!

        I believe Spence is the best welterweight in the world today. I don't start threads saying this or try to force my opinion on others. I never say I know Spence is the best welterweight. I only say I think he is the best welterweight. I could easily be wrong. I like to try to pick stars before they become stars. There is always the possibility of being wrong. Anybody can wait until the boxer is a champion and a big star and then say he is a star. Where is the fun and sport in that? If Spence is the subject of conversation on here I will always say I THINK Spence is the best. I will always say I Think Spence will KO Brook. I am not going to play it cool and wait until it is proven how good Spence is or isn't. I am going to give my honest opinion of him every time he is talked about on here. There are lots of UK posters predicting a KO win for Brook. I am a New Mexico Spence fan predicting a KO win for Spence.

          You feel me?
          I would agree, if spence was some prospect, just running his mouth, and content to fight the Algieri's and Bundu's of the world.

          But he's 2 months away from fighting the guy many people on nsb rank as the #1 ww in the world, in his own backyard, backing up the hype...then threads like this will be meaningless.

          In fact, I'd rather see the Spence fans now, loud and proud, than the bandwagoners who decide to hop on after he beats Brook.

          And if he loses, I'll be the first one on here, May 28 or June 4, to take my lumps.

            I get what you're saying as well. Bandwagoners are annoying as ****. And I did say in my original post that Spence fans should seriously support their dude, and show him love, but not claim he lays waste to everybody until he actually has, because he'll end up being shat on GGG style, and you guys as fans will have to defend him.

            I don't think I'm being unreasonable, am I?

              I like spence, I'm not as hyped on as most people are.

              Right now he's too big and strong for the guys he's fighting. Well see what he really is when he fights guys his size.

                  Can you please cool it a little on the Spence hype. Claiming he'll destroy everybody at WW, and that he's some kind of monster when he has a paper thin resume isn't helping things. I mean sure, dude's talented, has power, and seems like he has the potential to be up there with the best, but he hasn't faced ANYBODY yet. He's run through Algieri, but that's like it. GGG's fanatical fan base constantly trumpeting how he's the best when his resume isn't that great is one of the things that draws the derision from people on here, and if you guys do the same for Errol, it'll just result in ridiculous back and forth arguments, and eventually, dislike that Spence doesn't deserve.

                  My advice is to just chill a little. Support your dude, believe in him, but wait for him to actually face and beat top tier (B, B+ and A level) fighters before claiming he'll wreck everybody.

                  He has a fight with Kell Brook coming up. Let's see how he handles it.
                  Yeah, man. I like Spence but wins over Bundu and Algieri don't sell me on him. If he beats Brook, then we can start beating the Spence drum. Until then, like you say, support in a chilled way. We don't know that much about him yet.

                    Like 1% of spence fans have him rated pfp. With that 1% being teddy atlas

                      Keep hyping Spence.

                      Just don't go back on it like most did with Porter.
