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

Maybe so but Mayweather is far more tested and proven at this time. Spence looked great in two world title fights, I think Mayweather won about 30 world title fights without a loss so Spence is just a beginner compared with Mayweather at this point in time.

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.

You must be one of those guys that thinks fighters let their opponents hit them in the face....XD

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.

lmao a stoppage prediction vs floyd.

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

no its not true and i think youre getting a bit carried away lol. when spence beats fighters of the calibre of de la hoya, canelo, mosley, hatton, corrales, pacquiao consistently then we can say its a 50/50 fight. Not after beating algieri, peterson, bundu and a very competitive fight against brook (that fights been revised but i remember a lot of spence fans panicking on RBR thread at the half way point)

I thought Pacquiao was going to beat Floyd though?

[War Dinamita]

Spence beat his ass already that why Floyd kicked him out from his training camp.

Not if Floyd was in his prime... it would have been a wide decision for Floyd. Spence is too limited for a prime floyd.
