Comments Thread For: Spence: This Win Over Garcia Will Make Me 1# Pound For Pound!

Delusional, I don't even have him P4P top 10 and beating the much smaller man Garcia won't change that.

Not even close, Errol.

Anyone that know boxing knows that’s spence is overrated. He is a good fighter but nothing special, basic stuff.

[Sledgeweather17]

Yeah right! So beating Algeria, Brook, and Garcia makes you p4p #1?

GGG became p4p by beating Lemule, Monroe, and Wade.

If Mikey wins he should be considered p4p....if spence wins its just what everyone expected all along. It would be the equivalent of spence moving up to fight canelo....if he beat canelo, then hell yes youre p4p number 1. But if canelo stomps you, its because you moved up two weight classes and got overpowered. Which shouldn't have surprised anyone.

So if Mikey wins then he should be "considered" for P4P...
But if Spence was to beat Canelo then that "Definitely" makes him P4P #1,.....
How does that work,....??

Win this fight and your still about 3-4 signature fights/wins away from P4P #1

[Marvlus Marv]

Okay, but what if Crolla shocks Loma? He takes the p4p. Oh shti, I'm wading into the imaginary p4p argument.

[Thuglife Nelo]

LMAO. This thread got me buzzing! Some of the best sarcastic posts ever, and ironically do they all top what Spence said!?

[lopez36]

being a pretty big welterweight and beating a good lightweight to me doesn't make you number 1....beating other welterweights like Crawford and Thurman then it can be considered,

You’re speaking pure truth. I feel the same way about p4p bs. It’s purely subjective and imaginary. Great fighters are great fighters. These are 2 of the best and they’re locking horns and it’s great for the sport.

P4P is hard to determine. According to the original conception, it's supposed to be based on pure skills, if the fighters were the same weight. I feel that's not enough. Some say it should be based on resume only. That's not enough either.

In this case, the fighters aren't the same weight, nor do they have a solid resume. Both criteria together is still problematic as well. P4P is a big piece of crap. These two ARE among the current best fighters, however.

Thanks for the reply, bro.

Wait - yet to have a signature, or even significant win in his own division...hasn't moved up and grabbed a scalp at 154, but claims that beating a natural lightweight who grabbed the lowest hanging fruit at 140 makes him PxP #1?
Beat Bud, or Thurman, and then you have a case. Until then it's all hypothetical.

He beat a big WW in Kell Brook on his own turf to take the belt. That is a very good win on his resume, the rest is a average. I do agree it won't make him P4P number 1, but you can't discredit that Brook win.
