Comments Thread For: DiBella: If Spence Dominates Peterson, There With Crawford, Loma

[Thraxox]

Don't be harsh, it's not like in that title fight his opponent was coming off a tko loss + surgery lol.

And from cutting 13 pounds.

[GMAN SUPREME]

lucas crushed a prime PEDerson that didn't put him near the top of the p4p lists did it? this kind of talk will turn people against spence.

[NearHypnos]

No not really, I think his trainer and his head is the problem. If he would had boxed he could had beaten Lucus, if he would had came forward and boxed he would had beaten Danny. As far as Timmy, he was just not on that level.

Can’t make that many excuses man lol. If Zab had the focus of Floyd he’d have been amazing. If Ortiz had the heart of Gatti he’d have been a monster....etc etc


Peterson doesnt beat Matthysse in any contest involving fists maAnd he wont beat a bigger Spence even if he was trained by Nacho.

Hype hype....promoters for you, thats his job but still............

[Butch.McRae]

Lou just doin his job as promoter. Spence is a good pro but beating Petersen doesn't elevate you to top of the p4p list with Crawford or the #2 spot with Loma.

Spence IMO needs to beat Petersen convincingly and then Thurman and then I will consider him for top 5 p4p but still not up there with those 2 .

Fighter A is 4 - 0 in fights against former or current world champions (Burns, Gambia, Postol, Indongo)

Fighter B is 5 - 1 in fights against former or current world champions (Russell Jr., Martinez, Walters, Sosa, Rigo)(Loss to Salido)

Spence will be 3 - 0 after this weekend against Algeri, Brook, and Peterson. His resume ain't as far off as some of y'all claim. And he's done it in dramatic fashion.

The Top Rank influence is real lol

But we saw Lamont against Danny, so your argument is flawed. Sometimes a guy has an off night. Not saying he would've won the rematch, but he didn't fight his best fight that night. He's faired better against guys better than Lucas.

Respectfully, Postol was the #1 ranked JWW and Indongo was a 2 belt world champ. Spence did beat Brook, but Algieiri and Petersen IMO do not occupy the same space as Postol did. With Loma, I am not going to forget how people dogged Russell out before the fight, then elevate him after Loma won. That stated, you can't argue that his wins are much better than Spence's.

I would pick Spence to beat both, but they deserve credit for winning titles in multiple weight classes against top comp while Spence hasn't.

Canelo has more than all 3 combined with only one loss and you don’t see anyone calling him number 1 and he just fought an arguable top p4p fighter unlike what Spence is doing.

Of those 3 only Loma has fought anything resembling a p4p fighter (Rigo).

Might want to relax bruh. Spence will have his day eventually

I totally agree with you. Just raising the point of competition. I believe Algeri and Postol are close. Brook is miles ahead of any of those wins listed above imo. I still think Brook would've given Thurman hell. Spence was just a bad draw for him imo.

But to your latter point. I think if Spence becomes undisputed in this WW class, it's greater than anything we've seen in recent memory from guys not named Mayweather or Pacquiao. There's like 4 or 5 legit HOF potentials in the class right now and a guy like Garcia will be on tap in a year or so. Somebody will have a top 10ish resume for a WW when this is all over.

Canelo doesn't get mentioned because he doesn't do his work in convincing fashion. I agree that his resume is legit, but I think he doesn't get his due because people walk away feeling like he didn't do enough most of the time. I expect that to change in his rematch. Just have the feeling he'll make a statement. We shall see.

Btw Spence is on everybody's top 10 p4p list already. There's a reason for that. He's special just like Crawford and Loma.
