Garcia's best win? Salido? Broner? He has a lot of good wins. Enough to get on the pound for pound list with the aid of the "eyeball test". Spence is also on the pound for pound list with help from the eyeball test. I'm not sure this is a Duran vs Hagler level fight. It's hard to gauge how good these guys are when they haven't beaten anybody on a HOF level.

Originally posted by KTFOKING View PostMikey would stand a better chance against Porter quite easily. And Thurman as well, especially in his current form. Porter, especially if he tried to stay on the outside against Mikey would lose a decision.
So no, Mikey didn't go after the champ he has the best chance against. Stylistically, the worst match up for him would 1. Crawford 2. Spence.Last edited by SplitSecond; 03-13-2019, 11:43 AM.

Beating bigger boxers is harder than beating big guys coming to you with defensive liabilities, even if the results of a fail are more brutal in the latter.
Spence bodies Thurman and beats up Porter for UD or late stoppage.
Spence/Crawford/Mikey are the best talents at WW right now.

Originally posted by KTFOKING View PostYou see Thurman or Porter stopping him? Because Spence held up just fine against Brook. And his defensive "flaws" aren't as bad as you are making them out to be. Does he get hit? Sure, every pressure fighter does, but he's able to block a lot of shots. Brook landed more cleaner and harder shots against GGG in five rounds than he did against Spence for 11 rounds.

Originally posted by SplitSecond View PostActing like Brook is stopping or dropping top flight fighters. He never even hurt Golovkin and whether due to the drain or not he wasn't throwing with the same conviction vs spence, most of his punches are arm punches not even as strong as Pacquiao's. He still hurt spence though, and as usual spence looks like a deer in the headlights when buzzed. Both thurman and crawford stand a chance to stop him. both guys hit as hard or harder than spence, they just dont have the workrate for you to get all excited with the tko's.
Brook may have buzzed Spence here and there, but he most definitely didn't hurt him as you are making it seem. There is a difference there. Spence was never rocked in that fight.
And when did I say Spence hurt GGG? I said, accurately, that Brook landed more harder/cleaner shots in five rounds against GGG than Spence. Are you dis*****g that?

Originally posted by KTFOKING View PostI don't think Crawford hits harder than Spence, but punch for punch, I do think Thurman has heavier hands...But only early in fights. After the 4th or 5th round he starts to get on his bike and boxes to a decision.

He hurts him pretty good in the last 30 seconds of rd8. If thurman or crawford get him weak like that he'll take a beating.

We shall see my friend, hopefully we get those fights in the near future. Getting a good one on Saturday!

Originally posted by KTFOKING View PostSee, the round 8 is one of the examples. Don't think he hurt him pretty good at all there. Crowd went crazy but Spence was fine and still came back throwing. If anything, maybe it was round 2 where he was buzzed a bit? But aside from that he took Brook's shots well. Remember, Porter was more rocked in round 1 vs Brook than Spence was in his fight at any point.
