If brook is considered such an average/overrated fighter...

Spence made P4P BECAUSE all the top Welters KNOW, and thus avoided him. Fans, writers, etc. picked up on it too, after watching him dismantle THE FEW who would fight hiim. Green, unseasoned or not, he belongs. Other Welters aren't complaining. And Mikey's time for words is up.

Yes, I've just noticed that. He is indeed in the top ten pound for pound fighters in the world. That's very good for him as I am very proud of him and wish him all the best. Hopefully he continues his rise all the way to the top of the No. 1 P4P spot.

Then why is spence considered a p4p level fighter and the face of american boxing with that as his best win after brook had been kod in 5 and drained himself to make 147? Or is it due to his wins against amazing opposition like algieri and peterson that hes rated so highly? **** me the standards for being p4p/elite level are low these days

agreed, we know who has propelled a decently talented fighter in Spence to star status so early in his career.

[MasterPugilist]

I never once heard that Spence was ever a pound for pound fighter before. For one, he doesn't have many notable names on his resume

In addition, he is yet still green, underdeveloped and lacks both the seasoning and the experience of a Mikey Garcia; Which is why Mikey is challenging him in the first place

This is perhaps the most asinine thing I've ever heard in boxing in my life. When people speak of Errol Spence, Jr they are largely referring to his potential because he is mostly avoided by most welters his size..

Spence is a natural middlweight fighting smaller guys, there are no welters his size.

Spence is a natural middlweight fighting smaller guys, there are no welters his size.

If that is true. Then he should stand at least 6'1 inches tall; Not 5'9 inches tall like Canelo Alvarez. He is very short and undersized for a Middleweight.

Folks judging Spence off the eye test and also because most of the top WWs fear him. Floyd praised Spence from the time they sparred. A lot of things go into why Spence is viewed highly nowadays.

Overrated and only fought bums
