Comments Thread For: Spence: I Will Be Pound-For-Pound #1 By The End of This Year

IF he beats Mikey then Unify with Porter or Ugas then Unify with Thurman then yeah he is Minimum Top 3 For Sure. But yeah he has everything in place to build up one hell of a Resume but he still have to go out and actually win and PROVE IT!

Hes not Top 3 as nobody you mentioned is even Top 10.

If he beats CRAWFORD then there can be a discussion, but Crawford is ranked so highly because of his success in his THIRD division. Errol is a 1 division fighter and now hes picking on someone 2 divisions smaller. How brave...

Thurman and Porter are - maybe - Top 25-30 PFP guys...maybe.

The only list that has Porter Top 10 (#9) is BoxRec. And they have Porter ahead of Mikey Garcia (which automatically disqualifies the whole list), Tyson Fury, and even Kell Brook (dude beat a prime unbeaten Porter straight-up)

It’s all about risk vs reward right? Clearly he is dangerous, not unbeatable, but dangerous, and if the money wasn’t there well there’s that. Perhaps after the PPV those fights are coming

beat Crawford in July and Canelo on Nov and you'll be no 1 pound for pound

Not true. Crawford is ranked #1 or #2 in most p4p rankings. Therefore beating Crawford puts Spence at #1 or #2. This is common sense.

Crawford can't get the cowards to fight him and Spence said he can't fight better competition if they're on the other side of the street.

Except in Errol case it's absolute BS.....they're they're on the same side of the street.

And that's the difference

Since when have Crawford and Spence been on the same side of the street?

[Sledgeweather17]

he would need to defeat a current top welterweight

He already did that, and the current wbc champ is a victim of that top welterweight that Spence beat. Said wbc champ is also the guy who avoided being ranked in the IBF just so he can have that excuse for not fighting Spence.

And then the other champ regularly fakes injuries to avoid Spence and is now busy with a get back year.

UH...OK? P4P Ranks are all Opinions, no such thing as an official P4P Rankings. IMO beating Mikey Garcia and Unifying Belts is a Good Year and will move you up any P4P Ranking

crawford has called out spence plenty of times. he's stepped up spence hides behind politics.

Much as I hate to admit it this is true. Spence obviously sees something troubling in Crawford's style and talent. He makes excuses every time Crawford's name comes up. The excuses are valid but still, that's what I expect the promoter to say, not the fighter.

I don't think Spence is scared of Crawford mind you, but I think in his mind he knows that Crawford has the best chance of beating him at welter and he knows experience wise, Crawford is way ahead of him.

If he beat Thurman and Porter, then he would have faced and beat three elite welterweights plus Mikey. I think at that point he will call out Crawford himself as he will feel ready, plus they'll really be no one else to fight.

Whatever the reason though, a duck is a duck.

Not how it works... this is Crawford third weight class after clearing out the other two. To equal what Crawford did Spence would need to clear out ww and jmw then a title at mw.

Big fan of both just saying why most people rated Crawford so high.

I hope you plan on fighting Crawford then. Beating up a lightweight does not top p4p make.

[LoadedWraps]

go ahead put money on it then. the size is too much for mikey to deal with spence is really a super middleweight.

Mikey is going to bully him. The work rate will be too much. There aren't holes in Mikeys game, he is going to force a war if he has to, but he is coming to win, and he will land on Spence all night.
