Comments Thread For: Brook: Spence Has Hype Like Lacy - I'll Bully Him, I'll Be a Beast!

[Adonis Creed]

Brits are beyond dumb with this comparison. I can't wait for Spence to knock Brooks head off.

lacy was a little more like 666...

Spence wins by knockout. Brook needs to think again if he thinks he can bully Spence. He couldn't do that to Porter who is 5'3 so how can he do that against Spence who is bigger than him?

ooo the brits filled their lacy quota for the day

Brook didn't mess GGG up, but Jacobs sure gave him a tough fight.

The reason why Lacy is brought up is because more often than not is that the Americans that travel over here are mediocre as hell or actually just completely swallow it like a Charles Martin (who knows how good he is but he simply can't be as bad as he showed against AJ). At least Lacy had some hype behind him. Even Brook himself took GGG because Vargas wanted the earth to fight Kell to the point it was preferable to take a hiding from GGG at middleweight.

Tim Bradley is the best American who has fought over here in about a decade. Ronald Wright is the other top dog who had a short stint over here and bashed up some decent Brits.

As Americans used to refer to the horizontal Brits, we, actually get the horizontal Americans. The fact that Errol is coming over is great. And there is even a silver lining there for British boxing if he wins since it will encourage other Americans to come over. Top Americans. Basically it will provide another venue for the really big fights to be made.

We don't want Charles Martin types coming over here and selling their belts. People like Gary Russell Jr should be fighting Frampton over here - that kind of thing should be happening simply because there is money here now for boxing.

Same guy who threw in the towel is saying they knocked the stuffing out of ggg? Unbelievable

27th may, school will be in session. Spence is going to get the jeff lacy treatment. Kid doesnt know what hes got himself into..

[rudy]

Lol people always bring up jeff lacy

Errol Spence may well end up like jeff Lacy who now resorts to fighting in unsanctioned boxing matches.

Spence is acting like he is a rich kid, he is not!

Forgetting Crawford?

I think having a fight in the UK is becoming a rite of passage for American fighters at this point. Bradley, Crawford, Wilder, Spence and Davis are five of the best known active American fighters and they all had or will have a bout over here (plus Ward was pretty keen on rematching Froch in London at one point)
