Where did Spence's "destined for greatness" rep come from??

[TedDibiase]

Every boxer believes they're destined for greatness. Fans will obviously tow that line.

hes still a prospect at this point who has he beaten?

From trainers and other fighters. It actually started in the Olympics. They asked the Olympic members one by one who they thought
1. Works the hardest
2. Would be most likely to succeed
Spence was the UNANIMOUS choice. From hearing that story I kept an eye on him. Then you see coaches like Roach, Kenny Porter, and Abel Sanchez. Fighters like Floyd, Broner, and Charlo and that's where it comes from. His peers that do this for a living believe in him.

Redd... A+ Troll Thread a rather finesse way to insinuate things

No, no trollin brother. I swear.
I'm actually warming up to the guy quite a lot. I'm always skeptical of guys that get a lot of hype so I'm pretty critical at first. I was that way with Canelo, Ward, Kovalev, and others but gave them credit when they showed that they're really at that level.

I'm just really interested in the social momentum behind Spence because it started really early in his career and it wasn't pushed by any of the usual boogeyman shyt. It seemed to come from his peers. You don't see that a lot. And, it truly seems like he's destined for greatness.

He messed Floyd up. that's where it all came from.

Floyd has always been overrated himself. he is actually not that athletic. he never fought a true fast twitching negro in his prime either.

the only guy was Kostya Tszyu's leftover Judah who was a mental case. but Judah made Floyd look ****** for 5 rounds then gassed like he always do.

It's why he never fought prime Khan. You can say what you like about the glass-jawed clown now, but at the time his blurring hand speed was all wrong for Floyd.

I first heard about him when he dropped Broner in sparring.
He's not loud, not mean, not a 1-punch monster, not any of the things that tend to generate a lot of superficial hype. But, for a while now, a lot of people have deemed him to be the next big thing. It seems to have started with industry people who have worked with/around him but I'm curious, where did all the "hype" come from?

Mayweather upped the hype quite a bit, PBC has pushed him quite a bit. Plus he has put on great performances thus far.
