Comments Thread For: Spence: Mayweather Opened The Door, I'm Going To Kick it Down

[Robertthebruce]

Spence would be a very good fighter to have as the face of boxing. Most fight fans enjoy his come forward aggressive style. That's the kind of fighter I would like to see as the primary representative of this sport. I'm not 100% sold on him being the greatest fighter but I enjoy the way he fights.

But he only fights against bums, the elderley and midgets. when he finally fights someone his own size we'll see if he is any good. The coward is clearly ducking crawford and looking for easy fights against pac or porter. He should be fighting middleweights not bullying the smaller WW's. This is where guys like Andre Ward showed their class by fighting BIGGER guys not smaller like Spence has done.

Add this to the pile of pointless articles this site produces almost daily.

Come on, man. As a non-American, I don't think think one bit that way, and neither do people I know. But hey, it's your opinion so there must be something you see that we don't. Just saying I and ALL people i personally know don't share this view

Well that is very good and encouraging to know that there are still good boxing fans like yourself who loves this sport. You're a good dude!

Brook won a split decision over Shawn Porter. The fight could've gone either way and that's mostly because of MMAPorter - who is utter dog's shithole

At no point in time have I ever considered Brook a top WW. However, there was a time when intrigue existed. Nonetheless Brook was never going to be the level of a Floyd or Manny...but even a broken Brook was 4-4 with Errald after 8 rounds (coming off from TKO loss requiring reconstructive orbital surgery and moving up then down 2 weight classes)...and "prime" Brook was a split decision over Porter.

Go back and look at ANY of my posts. Danny Garcia, Shawn Porter, and Keith Thurman are and have always been C+ fighters. On his best day Keith Thurman *might* be a B- fighter. You don't get bodied and nearly stopped/TKO'd by the Josesito Lopez or Luis Collazo of the world and pretend to be elite.

And Errald went life and death with this damaged version of Brook. Errald is and will be a B- fighter. He has the chance to prove otherwise against Terrence Crawford who is B/B+, but he's hiding behind Terrence being "across the street". And instead Spencer is facing a LIGHTWEIGHT and suggesting it will power him to PFP #1.

What?

So Brook wasn't a top WW because he wasn't ATG level like Pac and Mayweather? Geez. Further, Bob Arum doesn't want the fight right now. He has been asked multiple times and he keeps saying not right now.

Life and death with Brook? Please! Even Brooks countrymen on the Sky Sports broadcast were acknowledging that Spence controlled the fight from the 5th round on. He was never in trouble or getting dominated in that fight.

Spence must be your womans favorite fighter and it bothers you.

Take that 180lbs and get that lightweight then fight a few more blown up jr welter weights like Peterson and Algeri . The man is so crazy good he'll rematch with Ocampo in a minute. Bad man down, kickin down doors PBC style.

Crawford pulled up on Spence and Errol said no...he's "taking an easier route." It's clear, doesn't get more plan or to the point. He wants easier fights, no need for long convoluted explanations. Errol made a carrier out of fighting smaller guys and tonight he's is fighting a light weight. Just say'n, those are the facts.

Spence is fun to watch and seems like a good dude but he's almost 30 and hasn't been able to get any star making fights. Fighting a tiny Mikey won't do it. He's got no time to be built into a big star.

Easier route to what? The big money is a fight between them. So where does the route lead? Don't just take a sound bite out of context.

No, that's not what I meant at all. Moneywise picking Manny is a no-brainer. All I'm saying is that Spence has yet to fight someone of importance to make loud claims.

Funny thing is that beaten Brook who came off a destructive loss and a fractured orbital bone against GGG still gave Spence a really hard time despite the fatigue and that headbutt so I wouldn't use that as an example at all.

Thurman, Danny Garcia & Porter avoid Spence for years so not Spence's fault, you don't want Spence to fight Manny, and we know that it's difficult to make Spence/Crawford so who do you want Spence to fight next? & Brook also avoided Spence for one year (at least). And once again Brook is no joke (and your excuses against him are BS, are you a ******** voter?). And Pac is still a great boxer even at his age. I'm a big fan of Thurman & Crawford but I want them to fight Spence, yep a real boxing fan here, not a hater & fake boxing fan who fear to see his "idols" to be defeated
