Comments Thread For: Brook's Trainer Doesn't See Spence as Best American Welterweight

[Bronx2245]

I wish Brook's trainer would've been asked "Who is the best at 147?" That would be interesting! The follow-up would be even better, "Why hasn't Brook fought Pacquiao, Bradley, Thurman, or Danny Garcia?"

winner of this fight will be #3 at ww.

Pacquiao and thurman the top dogs. I don't even know if bradley still active.

1. Pac
2. Thurman
3. Spence/brook
4. Bradley (where is he?)
5. Danny

pac cant be number 1 if he only fights bums ike vargas and jeff horn.... No way

He's not on the same page as Brook. Brook said if he beats Spence he'll become the #1 welterweight. You become the best by beating the best

[Motorcity Cobra]

13 years as a pro and his best win is Shawn Porter. Brook is living of beating Porter and getting smashed by GGG. Brook turned pro in 2004 and beat Porter in 2014, so are we saying it took Brook 10 years to fight a credible opponent? What was Brook's best win before Porter? What is Brook's best win after beating Porter?
But you people keep bringing up that Spence hasn't fought anyone, Spence has been in the game for about 4 years and is doing a lot more than Brook did his first 4 years as a pro.

It was hilarious when they were arguing about resumes yesterday. Brook, world champ 13 years pro, could only bring up one name Bette better than anyone on Spence, 5 years a pro, resume.

How can you be a pro for 13 years and a world champ and only Jan have one name on your resume than a kid who has only been fighting for 5 years

So fighting Vargas and Horn makes you a TOP WW? Slowly back away from the top rank ****, PUT IT DOWN...Pac's time is OVER! There is a reason that Pac doesnt fight a "LIVE" dog or a current Champion...Haymon and Arum do business now, and yet You dont see pac matched with ANY of WW's in Haymons stable, He wont even fight Crawford. Pacs time is UP

Pacquiao should not be rated #1, imo. As far as resumes and accomplishments, he's undisputed, but he's content fighting guys like Broner, Khan, and Horn, while the other top welters are interested in unifying.

Its fine. He's earned it. He just shouldn't be seen as 'the guy' anymore. Mannys no higher than 3 for me.

Yeah but as regards to the fight, it doesnt make a difference how long it took for Brook to fight a good fighter, Brook has and Spence hasn't. So one is proven and one is yet to be. That's how it's relevant.

Stylewise Spence is more complete then Garcia and Thurman.. sure nuff it'll be harder to shine vs Brook though

[steeve steel]

and where would you be from?

From a place where the water is clean! Although, to be honest, my wife, who is british, says the place has improved greatly lately. Not as many scallies apparently! You one of them?
