      Errol is the best 147 pounders right now. Keith would have a horrible time with Spence, especially with those body shots.

      Garcia wouldn't be an issue. Porter is too sloppy to be effective and Spence is the more powerful and effective puncher. Broner is a hot mess and too undisciplined. He just beat Brook in an impressive fashion. Peterson would be a fun fight but no way he beats Spence. Lucas Matthysse would be a decent test. Jessie Vargas would be a one sided mismatch. Pacquiao is old but if he has any sort of fire left, it could definitely be a competitive scrap.

      Honestly, so many names in the division but none seem too special to me aside from Spence right now. He dominates his opponents and crushes them while everyone else are having close decisions or are contented with coasting to decisions. I wasn't much of a believer but got damn can Spence fight. Im on the wagon.

          ... Spence has a good skillset, he also is cool-headed and methodical... and he punches "like a mule" to the body...

            ... when one says about a "champ" that "he needs to add 'something' to his game" I'm lost already... at 28 of age you can add shit to your game... (I mean 'properly' add...)

                Who can handle "The Truth?" I can only see one man that might be capable of that, and that's Terence Crawford! TC needs to handle his biz with Indongo and Pacquiao, and then unify with Errol Spence Jr. That's the mega-fight of 2018!

                  Spence's best wins are against an Algieri that PAC dropped 6 times and a Brook whose face GGG broke in his last fight when he stopped Brook in 5 rds.

                  Damaged goods. I think that both Thurman and PAC beat Spence.....Crawford boxes him up too. I would say Bradley as well but he has been WAY TOO INACTIVE.

                    Thurman will out box Spence and probably win a good UD over him. First thing we need to clarify is Spence isn't invincible. Brook had the first 5 rounds under his belt and gave Spence a few fits in the fight as it progressed. Spence isn't no heir to Floyd Mayweather. I see Thurman clearly out boxing Spence and if Spence chases him around, Thurman will do the same thing he did with Porter and all his fights, move around and pot shot Spence. I don't care how good Spence's chin is just like Garcia's titanium chin, Thurman hurt him and he can hurt Spence. Thurman is one of the hardest punchers in the division. I'm tired of hearing this bull**** about how Spence will just walk through Thurman.

                      This is what I have been saying all this time. Only reason Spence is even considered a good WW is because of how ****ing big he is. Brook won the first 5 rounds and out muscled Spence, just when it came to the second half we will never know how much the eye, weight loss and the flash backs of the Golovkin fight affected him. Remember how Brook was pawing at his eye just like in the GGG fight? Clear signs of the past showing up in his fight and BROOK STILL MANAGED TO GIVE SPENCE FITS IN THE FIGHT EVEN THOUGH SPENCE HAD A HUGE ADVANTAGE COMING INTO THE SECOND HALF.

                      I see Thurman out boxing him and people say Spence has a titanium chin and so did Garcia, Thurman hurt Garcia he can hurt Spence. I still believe a pre-GGG undefeated Brook would have beaten Spence.

                      I don't know about Pac though, Pac is near 40, 5'5 and very very small. The only good thing Spence has going for him in that fight is that he will probably out weigh pac by 15-20 pounds on fight night. Hard to overcome that type of weight, but the Pac we saw in 2007-2012 before the 4th Marquez fight would probably KO Spence within 8 rounds.
