Comments Thread For: The Two Welterweight Divisions

[JakeTheBoxer]

I think Spence doesn't have a lot of guys to test him at welter now. The closest is Crawford and I'd pick him to lose to Spence by KO.

After seasoning and filling up, maybe in 2020, it'd be a different story. By then, Spence would be gone.

For Spence to be tested, he needs to face guys like GGG and Canelo. That'd be a pretty stiff test.

Please no. That would be the same ****** move Khan and Brook made.

GGG and Canelo are big and strong guys and they stop everybody that fights at 147.

Spence is too small to compete at 160. has zero chance. 154 is ok.

Spence and Canelo at 150. Interesting fight for sure.

That'd be awesome but, personally, I don't like catchweights. I like to see it at 154 or 160. I think Spence is that good right now. That won't last forever, so he better get to it!

[JakeTheBoxer]

Canelo can`t make 150.

In the one ww division:

Brook: Porter, g, and Spence

Thurman: DSG and Porter

DSG: Khan, Matthysse, Peterson, Thurman and next is Porter

Spence: Brook (in England) and Peterson

Broner: Maidana, Porter, Mikey

Porter: Brook, Broner, Thurman, and DSG next

That is one welterweight division. Which has a handful of elite fighters, all fighting each other.


The other welterweight division:

Bud: Postol, Indongo and Horn


When you actually look at it, it appears that Bud is just a cherry picker. These other guys are younger and yet have actually fought top opponents. And on more than one occasion. It isn't two divisions, it is the welterweight division and Bud fighting cherries and paper champs. I get it though, Bud is with TR and they pay enough to not have any article mention his incredibly weak and lackluster competition.

Too bad the fraud Alvarez can't get down to 150 Spence would be him worse than floyd did...

Gamboa was just being bitter. You could tell when he even said Crawford wasn't strong or didn't hit him hard compared to others. Then why did he KO you then? Bud is also enrolled in random testing and is bigger, better and stronger since that fight.

That was also Crawford's first real showcase fight, first time with a truly elite opponent, first fight back in his hometown and he was a 2-1 underdog. That win was huge at the time. Just because he ruined Gamboa (who had fought multiple times at 135 & even years prior) doesn't take the shine off. Look at the fighter Bud came because of that experience. Sort of the way Lomachenko became a great fighter after the Salido experience.

Spence was rocked by Lartey also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxaALlNBce4

When you fight with entertainment in mind you will get clipped, look at Floyd even he got hurt in the past

Crawford will get destroyed if he fights Spence.

Spense indeed looks like the goods...

Let's see how he handles the unbeaten Mexicano on Saturday...

that's why PBF wisely avoided a Prime Pac Man...

Can't say I blame him in the sense of wanting to hold onto his 0 it was a very smart decision.

When the two should have collided in 09...

Pac would've gone thru Floyd like a Dose of Salts...
