    It's getting ridiculous now, these guys think it's a foregone conclusion that he whips Brook, Thurman and every other top welterweight. I was watching a video where the guy from ThaBoxingVoice (can't remember his name, the fat dude Nes I think) was like "If.... sorry WHEN you beat Thurman do you move up to 154?"

    I mean slow it down guys! He hasn't even been chin checked yet by a top puncher. Remember what happened last time a guy who spanked goodish opponents and then faced his first test?
    you must be new to boxing


    ring magazine put Lucas on the cover instead of the friggin champion....danny garcia


    lucas hype on this site rivaled manny pacquaio

      Lucas was fighting guys his size or bigger who were actually ranked, and he was demolishing them.

      Spence is beating up on smaller dudes, none of which are ranked.

            It's not even close. Some people on here said Garcia was scared to death of Matthysse. If you didn't agree Matthysse was literally going to kill Garcia you felt the wrath of his fans. Spence is getting some recognition for his skills but not on the level of Matthysse, who isn't quite as skilled in my opinion.

              People acting like Spence will beat Brook is a foregone conclusion. Claiming he will rock Brook and knock him out.

              My opinion? Spence is indeed good, but it doesn't matter how he does in the fight because the judges will score heavily favoribly towards Brook.

                I was one of the pioneers of the Matthysse hype and this is 100% false.

                Spence fans got a lot of work to do if they wanna get on my level.

                    Yes, but this is something you never ever do because, as we all know, you're not the ABSOLUTE WORST HYPOCRITE ON THIS SITE. Amirite!?

                      You mean sort of like GGG? The one and only time he finally stepped up, he got gifted a decision.
