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

It's a good name on the record but you gotta beat Crawford, Thurman etc then come back to this

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

Exactly. I have Loma as one of the top 10 best fighters in the world.

Loma fought Linares and Pedraza and looked like shit. The original conception of P4P would say, Loma isn't anywhere close to P4P, because he couldn't beat cans in his own division convincingly.

That's why I say P4P is BS. He's small, this and that, won't work according to P4P criteria, because he fights there.

So many fighters today are delusional. I wonder if they truly believe their own bullshyt or they are just saying these things to market themselves. Unify the division before you start talking about P4P greatness.

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.

If you're trying to say that Kell Brook qualifies as a signature win, I would wholeheartedly disagree. Especially a Kell Brook who not only dropped two divisions from his previous fight, but had also suffered a broken eye-socket in that fight. The Brook that fought Spence was about as much compromised as he could have been.

Spence you are my guy but this fight should be a formality. Furthermore if you don’t knock him out and make an example out of him you should be stripped if it goes the distance

[Noelanthony]

They at that point in fight week where they're just putting out BS headlines to try to create rooting interests for fans on both sides.

"Mikey fans, your boy can win! It's 50-50! Mikey truly believes he will win and take over 147 after this! Buy the fight!"

"Spence fans! I know you guys aren't buying the PPVs like we want because you feel this is an easy fight for Spence that won't prove anything, but actually, if he wins, he will be #1 P4P! The #1 P4P spot is on the line in this fight! Buy the PPV!"

****'s ****ing transparent in 2019.

Nah, if Spence wins, that's his Rigo win. Brook is his Linares, I guess. I mean he was bigger than Brook, Loma was smaller than Linares, Brook was coming down two weight classes, Loma was coming up, etc etc. But whatever I'm trying to be flexible since it's impossible to have exact comparisons. So there's his Rigo win, and his Linares win, sort of. After that, he still needs to go get his GRJ win, and his Walters win, and then he can say he's tied with where Loma is right now at #1 P4P, and he'll have just as good a claim as Loma and Usyk for the top spot. But beating Mikey alone, uh... no.

I get the sense when you post you look at yourself in the mirror in order to help you garner all your thoughts sensibly

Best joke I heard in a while. Biggest welterweight who is ducking the only other top fighter in his own division, beating a pudgy lightweight makes him top P4P. Hahaha, oh my goodness, these deluded Americans crack me up.

[Steven Mccowan]

CrawFord, Loma, Usyk are top dogs. Not Garcia or Spence. They barely in top 10 if that...

[djbiancafrost]

Hell no. There are far more better fighter to be ranked 1.

If Inoue wins the whole WBSS Bantamweight series, he could be considered.

Canelo - if he can defeat GGG in the 3rd fight with no questions on scorecards, take all the belts of the other 2 middleweight champs.

Usyk - he is at near the top, perhaps a win over one or two of the Top 5 Heavyweights.

[indelible]

Nah bro, beating a lightweight at 147 doesn't make you the best lb for lb. I really don't think there is a best lb for lb but Canelo beating GGG is still the most impressive win last year (whether you think he really won or not). I'd say if Canelo beats Jacobs, he's the best lb for lb. Tired of this padded record mofos like Crawford acting like they are the best.

And if its the other way around and Jacobs beats Canelo will that make him the best lb for lb?
