Comments Thread For: Errol Spence: I'm The Best at 147 - I Want Garcia, Porter, Thurman

And, as we've seen in back to back weeks with Charlo and Jacobs, in terms of public perception, you are better off getting a highlight KO vs an overmatched opponent than going 12 rounds against a very live opponent.

thats true. Although gotta challenge yourself in between or ppl will have strong doubts about what happens against a live dog. Like the charlos haha. Me.. I hope the mw charlo is real deal but i sure aint gonna say he can beat ggg, bjs, jacobs etc until he atleast fights a warm body ha. We always need new stars though

I really enjoy this kid, he is willing to fight anyone, I think he beats everyone on that list as well with the only exception of Thurman, that'll be a good fight.

Haymon and Espinoza are so helpless.
If this is Arum or HBO, they'll be in deep waters from the Haymon fanboys.

ok i need someone to correct me if my assessment is wrong. i respect bud Crawford however he has never fought at 147 lbs before so y is he being named with the porter and the Garcia nt to mention Thurman? shouldn't he have to prove he can beat a quality welterweight first? i believe Spence is the best in the division but politics will force him to a higher weight class before he can become the star he is meant to be.

Garcia, Thurman, and Porter are going to run for their lives. Spence is a bigger and better version of Porter. Garcia isn't that great and will never be a true elite welterweight in my eyes (he also loses to Porter, IMO), and Thurman seems content and just about retired at this point in his career. Ever since he found that girl and got married he seemed to have his head and heart up in the clouds and hasn't fallen back. I don't think he has the motivation or desire anymore--- that hunger that drives a fighter to become a champion. He's made a few million (although probably not much more than $1-2 due to taxes/team cuts), which is generally enough for any person that lives below their means.




This is ironic. How are you going to claim Crawford is draining himself to make lower weights in comparison to Spence of all people, who is generally seen as a big welterweight?

Remind me, how many weight classes has Crawford been in compared to Spence?

That's what I thought.

my point is this...AT LEAST..spence thurman and brooke were draining to a weight were top fighters were/are residing...WEIGHT alone cannot get you buy at ww right now...BUT CRAWFORD was going to some very wack divisions!!

do u feel me now??
