    The truth is, Floyd almost definitely would have avoided Spence.

    But that is fair, because Spence is far larger than Floyd. Spence is bursting at the seams at WW, while that is what Floyd walks around at. Spence packed on almost 20 lbs for the Brook fight, after weigh in. Floyd avoided GGG at 154, and again that was always a fair choice. Floyd isn't a 154 pounder, no reason to fight the best there.

    Imagine a WW version of prime Floyd adjusted for size. I know that's a weird thing to say. But Spence could beat Floyd at WW, doesn't mean he is better. Floyd at the weight he was bursting at, was close to unstoppable as well.

    You need another fighter bursting at the seams of WW to beat Spence. Like Spence said to Brook, you need a fighter your own size. Currently that would be Thurman. Still think Spence probably destroys Thurman, but I'm talking about the people with the best chance. Historically, Tito could of course KO Spence at WW, imo.

                This is delusional and I like Spence. He's got nothing for Floyd. Spence is too robotic to beat Mayweather. Kid gets timed and derailed too easy. Brook was tagging him with shots early before Spence wore him down. I would pick the current washed up Mayweather to school Spence. Would probably look like the Canelo fight.

                  Floyd would destroy Spence. Brook was out boxing him for the first half of the fight.
                  You think Spence can beat a guy like Canelo? Canelo would eat him alive.. even Crawford could potentially beats Spence. I like Spence he’s the truth but he’s not unbeatable, brook was out pointing him easy. Spence has a relentless style and keeps coming forward and goes to the body really well.
                  As much as people hate Mayweather there isn’t a single current fighter that beats him. Not Spence.. Crawford or Thurman.

                    Floyd declined to fight both Margarito and Paul Williams at WW. Spence is far more dangerous. His style would be brutal for Floyd. Floyds little rope a dope shoulder roll wouldn't work on Spence, he'd love that. He's pound the hell out of Floyds body.

                    He's also a lot larger than Floyd. The question isn't if he'd win, its if Floyd would fight him. No, he obviously wouldn't. Just look at Floyds history.
