Spencer Jr vs Floyd @ 147 would've been a true 50/50 fight

[Barristan]

Canelo is nowhere as fast as SPence Jr, espencially the footspeed aspect.. Spence JR would KO Canelo late.

haha slow down man

[NahMean]

Floyd schools him man.

[W1LL]

Floyd doesn't tolerated PED cheats. Floyd would comfortably beat a clean Spence Jr.

[FinitoxDinamita]

What makes Spence better than any of Floyd’s victims? He is no different.

[Bjl12]

I didn't say that, I said Lamont from 4-5 years ago would've given Floyd his TOUGHEST fight out of all the fighters @ 147 and it is true.

Spence Jr is a class above Lamont

So does that mean Lamont is #2 PFP? Now spence is #1 PFP?? Wasn't Spence like a 25-1 favorite??? What am I missing here??

Or was Lamont not even a Top 10 WW? Because most Top 10 division fighters don't stand in front of their opponents and wait to be hit.

That's what Lamont did. And Floyd never did that once in his career.

So how exactly can you tell Spence has the skills for an ATG defensive fighter with extremely accurate counter-punching and ATG stamina??

Yeah, me neither

Floyds to old close the thread , FM didn't even finish the sparring session with Spence let alone a real fight !! Close thread

in fantasy fights the only thing to go on is history.

floyds history with high volume pressure fighters is not a good one. he admitted himself augustus was his toughest fight early in career. castillo in the eyes of majority beat him. maidana arguably won their 1st fight. cotto gave him hell and floyd acknowledged that post fight. oscar was winning when his jab was utilized.

with spence you have pressure, a stiff jab, volume, excellent punch selection, can cut the ring and a relentless approach to body shots. all this spells trouble for floyd. again I'm going off his history vs guys with somewhat similar approach to spence.

another thing spence rarely takes rounds off. the mofo is hellbent on plowing through you.

maidana was having success with his jab, so was oscar. safe to assume spence would as well. maidana dictated the tempo in first fight. he had floyd on ropes all night but his technique and punch selection is not as polished as spence.

floyd came close to facing someone somewhat like spence in winky wright. it never happened. winky would've beaten him imo.

gotta say to the floyd diehards this is a fantasy fight dont get offended.. I pick spence to stop him 10-11 rounds.

the closest spence will come to facing a floyd like opponent is crawford. based on his movement and sharp shooting. we will see if crawford can frustrate spence with footwork and keep him away because that will most likely be floyds approach vs spence.

Now he would. Not pre 2014/15 though.

thats not what happened at all. peterson attempted to move but spence foot speed and ring cutting ability gave lamont no room to get off. he had no choice but to engage. spence basically plowed through him. it was like a swarm of bees coming at peterson. he was shelled up tight but spence was punching THROUGH him.
