Comments Thread For: Errol Spence: I Have To Prove What Mayweather Says is True

[Xi_]

I think you're underrating hernandez, and overrating brook here.

you're also underrating what mayweather was able to accomplish at the age of 21.

as far as brook being "more dangerous," we haven't seen it, and won't know until after saturday. brook is a big ww, but he's smaller than spence, hernandez was definitely bigger than floyd, and was a lineal champ while brook holds is a belt-holder. as far as the youth advantage floyd had, many other people called it inexperience, which is why fewer people thought he'd beat hernandez, than people who think errol beats brook.

That dumb idiot is trying to compare a borderline hof'er to kell freaking brook. Lmao......youth advantage? Ask that idiot if canelo had a youth advantage with floyd and i guarantee that ****sucker will flip it and spin it the way he spins his tongue around Pacquiao's ****.

I think Spence is going to be top dog at 147 for sure, but he's not the next Mayweather, Leonard, Hearns, Duran or anyone else. I don't see his style being more like any of the others, he's just going to be Spence.

Maybe it refers to the next guy at 147 to go on a long unbeaten run, but Mayweather did a lot of that work at lower weights, and Spence for sure will go up in weight at some point as he's young and big.

I hope he puts the comparisons where they belong and just focuses on upping his game in whatever way maximises his own potential.

Spence doesn't have to be the next Mayweather. He said himself, if he maintains his focus like Mayweather he should have success. The biggest issue Spence will face is distractions. He has skills and the maturity to go far but it will all be for nothing if he can't stay focus. Saturday will be his biggest test to see if he can stay focus. Especially, going to someone's backyard to try and beat him. The British will not be welcoming so he will be facing wore than just Brook in the ring.

"I have to go out there and prove that what he says is true." What, that Tank Davis is the future of boxing? How are you going to prove that, Spence?

This cat can't even make it a goal to be great in his own right. Rather, he hangs on Floyd's nuts. How the hell do you open your mouth and say you'll be the next Floyd Mayweather? If anything, Spence should say he's going to be the baddest mofo since Mayweather. Get your own identity man!

Fools like you can never see past the nose on your face, everybody that is anybody draws from the ones before him, there is not a fighter on the planet that doesn't look up to Floyd and what he achieved, its only tiny nobody fans like you that cannot see the big picture.

Hey coward, next time you want to refer to me with insults, have the balls to quote me yourself, not someone else. That's a b!tch move, but I'm not surprised. You are one of the biggest Floyd ****riders on this forum. In fact, if I check all your post history I bet there isn't one post on there where you aren't sucking his sweaty balls or dissing Manny.

Don't be a punk, grow some balls unlike your overrated idol.

"He is a guy that has all the money in the world but he trains like he is broke. He has all the distractions - women, cars, money, everything that could distract an athlete - but he manages to stay focused."

Spence gets it. I think Errol's mind is his strongest asset. It's rare that you see a guy as hungry and focused as he is.

That's one thing I wish people would implore fighters to take after Floyd. But they hate Floyd so much they won't even credit him for that. There have been more talented fighters than Floyd but they didn't work as hard. Tyson was probably the most purely talented and skilled fighter I've ever seen but didn't have the work ethic or mentally strong. People don't understand how tough it is to be great. Maidana got two Mayweather paychecks and said "I'm good" Which is great when you can get out the game with your health and money. But Floyd was getting paid a minimum of $32 mil a fight and still trained hard and took nothing for granted. You cannot cherry pick your way to 49-0! You cannot cherry pick your way to only losing on 1 scorecard your whole career. Anything can happen in the ring with a blink of an eye. Instead of people complaining about fighters trying to be the A-side like Floyd people should be telling fighters to do what Floyd did to become and stay the A-side.

Likes Floyd for the right reasons

Had to quote this because this is a great point.
