Comments Thread For: How Errol Spence Jr. Became Everyone's Favorite Welterweight

[Madison Boxing]

hes not my favourite.

[Willy Wanker]

No way.

Jeff Horn is still my favorite. His aesthetically beautiful fighting style of holding while hitting and headbutting exemplifies what the sweet science is all about.

Not to mention his majestic voice that we are blessed to hear during his post fight interviews.

Beating Ocompo...that put him over the top

You mean bottom!

Hello! You nailed him in the "cajones!"

[Letmaku]

Yes favorite for hitting while holding and hitting below the belt to set up a KO in the very first round. Hooray!

He's the fan boy's favorite fighter, hasn't beat one champion yet but fan boys still call him champ lol....his last fight was against some bum who's name we don't even know..how the fk can people support this rubbish?! spence and the charlo twins are frauds nothing more...3 dudes who talk big but their resume is stacked with c level opponents.

Brook and Peterson were both solid opponents, Thurman is injured/retired? Spence is looking to get the winner of Danny and Porter asap and the last opponent was a mandatory so your post doesn't add up to much sorry. As for Crawford, he's just had his first fight at Welterweight so it's too soon yet anyway.

You boys still mad at spence for koing brook in his home town? Kell brook did the james brown, soldiers prayer pose.. all he needed was for the ref to put the Cape over him.. lol. Nah, maybe that concussion made brook think he was getting knighted by the queen?.. lmao

Spence looks like he's the goods but he still has a lot to prove, anything people praise him for is solely based on the eye test and not on actual accomplishments against top level fighters, he's a very likeable kid though and has that kind of attitude that's been missing in boxing for a while now.

Crawford has done a lot more imo and beat better fighters in 3 weight classes so I rate him higher but if they were to fight and I had a gun to my head I'd pick Crawford by a very hard fought decision.

For real, Spence is fighting cans and being praised for it. I don't understand people.

Right because Kell and Lamont are cans right?

The double standards are real around here lol

I do like Spence but that is not a good argument for his defence.

Kell was coming off a loss

And Peterson was inactive for two years

I got to say Crawford is my favorite 147 pounder
