Comments Thread For: Who Can Handle "The Truth" After Brook-Spence?

[NYG]

funny how anyone that means anything at 147 or 140 are all in their late 20's or early 30's now too.

Like where is the younger talent at 140 147 at? They need to start finding contenders in their mid and early 20's

SRL Hearns those guys were in their early 20's when they was at the top of the game not late 20's

Spence 27
Thurman 28
Garcia 29
Porter 29
Crawford 29
Pacquiao 38?
Broner 27-28
Canelo 26-27
Mikey Garcia 29
Charlo 27
Peterson 33
Matthyese 34
Lomanchenko 29

on and on like where TF is the younger talent at???

Who gives a damn about age? Late 20s is old to you? ****

Yea PRIME SRL is same way frame wise but he had that explosive mix of speed and and could box Errol is almost like the black version of GGG with a more speed and skill as in he's there to be hit as well but can you hurt him?

But I think If Errol fought like that at 154 he'd lose real quick. Definitely doesn't beat the bigger Charlo I don't think you understand the Charlo bros are really 160 fighters fighting at 154 getting easy money. I don't see the speed from Errol to be able to compete at 154 with faster 6' guys. Even Canelo don't mention the Charlo's names.

I see what you saying about Andrade to but I think it depends on who he's fighting TBH I see him look not so good against fighter his same size. He looks great against either taller (nelson) fighters or fighters that are shorter than him he's looked fantastic. I get it too for some people its like that like with Brook. didn't fare too well with someone who was right around his size.

I think Andrade at 6'0 would likely be his toughest fight at 154. Spence is faster than everybody at that weight in terms of hand speed for sure though. Lara is only 5'9 and I think is light in the *ss tbh. Jermell is about 5'11 and truthfully isn't a high skilled fighter, but has solid power. The twins just have serious will power kind of like Badou Jack. They are dogs and find ways to win fights. Jackson was beating Jermell pretty easily before the knockout. Jermall is at MW so doesn't count in this discussion lol

Lubin is interesting though. Gotta see more of him to have a meaningful view of his potential.

Spence is going to kik the **** outta chicken run thurman if thurman grows some balls to fight.

I'm a fan of Thurman, but I seen him turn and run from a body shot. Spence got the best body delivery system I have seen in a while. Thurman can't beat him.

Whoa


Thurman at least has a chance

[Arma316]

Thurman can't beat Spence. Would be a horrible match up for him. Spence has almost every advantage in that fight. The height and reach, stronger, better jab, more versatile, and his body attack would break Thurman down. I see it being easier than the Brook fight.

Pac is too old and too small.

Crawford would provide a challenge. Spence should be favored, though.

At 154 Andrade would be the toughest fight.

The charlos are some of the most overrated hypejobs ever seen, they've barely beaten anyone & are older than canelo,to top it off their giants fighting lil guys yet nobody calls them weight bullies, cherrypickers etc. Trout was robbed vs jermall too,but all I ever hear is how everyones supposedly scared of them,just like hypejob andrade all these fighters talk mad shlt & claim everyones ducking yet get their ass kicked by tiny nobodies like andrade did his last fight.

[chirorickyp]

Put the great Marquez in with him. Then we won't have to hear about his next fight. It's been 3 years.

[stevepeeve]

Pac or Thurman even Crawford might beat Spence.

Who knows if Pac or Thurman could beat Spence till they meet up? Crawford has the talent also to beat Spence.

[Dr.Cool]

Ha. Only one fight and you think he is the best WW? Brook is already a spent force. When he cleans up the division, that's the time you can call him the best. There is a trend now that everytime someone wins in a good fashion, he becomes the best.

I'm not saying that off one fight. I'm saying he's the best WW off all his fights. Thurman beat Porter and Garcia, and both were close. Other than that, his resume looks a lot like Spence's pre-Brook. I was saying Spence looks like the best WW before the fight, but that no one knew how good he really was until he got in with an elite opponent. He did, and he beat him into submission.

Pac would get ko'd, no doubt about it. I honestly don't see how anyone could put Thurman ahead of Spence, I guess if you were high on Pac, that argument at least makes sense. Other than that who the heck is there? Who do you rank above Spence at WW???

At 154 Andrade would be the toughest fight.

I couldn't put it any better myself. Styles make fights and Spence is all bad for Thurman. 154 is where the challenges are. Not just Andrade, but Charlo and Lara too.
