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

[jjsmyth87]

Ok. I got Postol way ahead of Algieiri.

I would like to see Spence fight Thurman, Crawford, Loma(bob would never do this), Charlo (who I would pick over Spence) and Hurd/Lara winner.

Spence IMO is the real deal. I just hope he gets the chance to show it with the top guys.

Spence said himself he walks around at 170 lbs+ while Loma most likely walks around at about 140. Spence is a large welterweight who could fight at 154 and Loma is average size at 130 so whats the point in saying bob wouldnt let that fight happen, thats like saying Haymon would never let Gervonta Davis fight Spence, it goes without saying. Pacquiao is almost too big for a catchweight with Loma and Spence is 10-15 lbs heavier than Pac. With that being said Crawford is about to take over at 147. First Horn then Pacquiao, then if Spence wants it im sure the Bobfather would make that a big ppv fight.

Spence ia excellent, but this fight wont prove anything.

My point is that beating PEDerson doesn't put Spence on Loma's level. In fact, Crawford isn't even on Loma's level with his weak resume. Loma just completely embarrassed a top 5 lb for lb fighter.

Who was two weight classes smaller and a decade older.

lol excuses. everybody wanted this fight when your guy rigo loses you make excuses.

Erroll Spence isn't elite until he fight's a top 3 welterweight and dominates I am sorry but Peterson is a ***n bum and Alexander is a ***n bum

So Brook wasn't a top 3 Welterweight now?

It's a fact, and unfortunately, you can never wish those facts away.

Spence will be remembered as the Andre Ward of the Welterweight division.

Im thinking more the Vernon Forrest (rip).

I dont really disagree with anything you wrote. I'm just making the point that Peterson is right there in the Lucas, Provodnikov, Postol group (with several others). He's world class just not elite imo. Still a solid scrap. I mean Errol could've got some can of the IBF rankings like Kell did for two years.

I think Lucas and Postol are a small step up from Peterson and I LOVE provodniko but I’m not sure if he’s on Peterson’s level but I get what you mean.

Peterson was good quality but its been years and years since he was.

Agree on Spence trying to make bigger profile fights though. Hope he can land them. If he keeps winning he’ll be in good shape.

Spence is in a great position! He realistically has a chance to face 2 P4P fighters in the same weight class! If he beats Thurman and Crawford, he's P4P # 1!

SPENCE just needs to keep racking up them W's and let the chips fall where they may. peterson craftier than people give him credit for. he did run for the first 8 rounds vs garcia but did walk his man down the last 4. in any case i see spence tko by the 8th. #mandown.
