Porter showed there is little separation between Spence and the top 5 in the welterweight division. Every fight he's going to get the other guy's A-game. Spence doesn't have the dedication to the sport Floyd did. He's going to get picked off by one of these fighters. Personally I think it'll be Danny Garcia. Spence doesn't have the legs of Thurman or the chin of Porter. Styles make fights. And a fighter who doesn't move or slip shots is tailor made for Danny.

Spence/DSG is a good fight, but if Spence is the same type of fighter he will beat DSG up on the inside. DSG really struggled when Peterson got on the inside of him and Spence is much better than Peterson in that regard.
He is not Floyd, but who is? Spence still could be THE top guy at WW, we will find soon enough. But styles make fights, Floyd in between of struggling vs Maidana, damn near shut Canelo down and clearly beat Pacquiao. Those were two P4P caliber fighters, while Maidana is no where near that level. Canelo would have iced Maidana in five rounds or less, yet Maidana gave Floyd hell while Floyd had his way with Canelo.

It's a stacked division and any fight between between the top welters will simultaneously show us a lot and also reinforce the fact of how good they are. That's what I took from Spence/Porter. It showed Spence willing to mix is up and get inside more, and it showed Porter's drive and will. It also left a lot of people with a better impression of Porter (well deserved), when some were willing to write him off.

Spence is dedicated just got caught up and made a mistake. But as soon as he got back somewhat healthy Derrick James said he was back in the gym. And we have yet to see spence utilize all his skills but what he has shown so far is he can outbox fighters and also fight the dog fight.
Thurman left boxing for 2 years with a mystery injury so lets not question dedication. So thurman is irrelevant.
Also Danny isn't beating spence from what I've seen. Depending on how spence fights, he can outbox him or punish him on the inside. Danny is flat footed and only has one punch. But spence has a chin and hasn't been dropped.
The only person beating spence right now is Bud and I'm sure that fight will happen this year.
