Comments Thread For: Spence: A 100% Focused, In My Prime, I Would Beat Mayweather!

[hugh grant]

Who knows who'd win, that's why it was interesting and a fight people would like to have seen. But thanks to floyd we didn't get to see it. Floyd calls shots he decide s whether fights happen or not.
Nel o thought h ed beat floyd in a rematch as did pac. Floyd calls shots.
He and he alone decided if a fight will happen

Nah. Have to be just as fast with power. Combined to make him run and clinch excessively. Spence not fast enough.

I highly doubt it...

But did Mayweather ever face a great body puncher?

Hatton was a very good body puncher but he didn’t have the size or skill to utilise his body punching effectively against Mayweather. (Joe Cortez didn’t help either)

Would have been interesting to see how Mayweather would have dealt with a bigger and more skilled body puncher like Spence.

Mayweather would likely have adapted and found a way to win but I think Spence gives him some problems.

So if Cortez wasn’t the ref, Hatton would have beaten Floyd, Is that what you’re saying?
Hatton got help from Cortez? Damn!! I thought I’d heard it all.

Errol did spar Floyd, even though it was late in Mayweather's career. They said Errol held his own. I understand it was just sparring, but the reason for Errol's thinking is probably based off of that experience.

Exactly.. But If Spence is in his prime.. He can definitely win against money.. But pretty boy? Nah.. He would look like deigo corrales in there.. Pretty boy is a whole nother animal, Spence would be devastated. He probably wouldn't win a single round vs Pretty Boy!

I think I Floyd should take a tune up then fight Spence. I mean if he keeps toying with coming out of retirement why fight a UFC fighter again and even worse the same UFC fighter?

He’s probably feels like he has to say that. First of all for attention and secondly because honesty is not popular and showing humility is viewed as a sign of weakness. I expect him to say that. No true fighter comes out and says “oh yeah this guy would beat me”.

Anyone who really believes it is tripping though.

[MulaKO]

You have to have this level of confidence to succeed at anything. Never admit defeat especially in a hypothetical situation.

Not sure he ever did have it
If he did this would not have him down
The kind of accident he had can do that to you but he got away scot free , imo
All good , he hasn’t admitted to defeat but in all reality , everyone is a witness of his defeat

Did you really just say Spence is “more skilled” than TBE? Please tell me you didn’t lol. As for not beating great body punchers...

Jesus Chavez
Jose Luis Castillo x2
Arturo Gatti
Baldomir
De La Hoya
Ricky Hatton
Miguel Cotto
Canelo
Maidana x2

All of those guys have a ton of knockouts and are known for body punches. As for the Ricky Hatton fight I’m from the UK and I had Ricky winning 1 round. Cortez actually let a ton go in that fight and just did his job. Floyd just beat him at his own game, most of the fight was fought in close quarters and Money still got the better of him. At the end of the day it’s boxing not wrestling or MMA.

Spence has no advantages over Floyd. Probably wins a few rounds like Judah but skill wise and mentally there’s no way he could match TBE. Especially in his prime. It wouldn’t be close.

[GrandpaBernard]

Why is Spence talking like he’s no longer prime

Car accidents are no good but fortunately Errol didn’t get no life changing injury

Not enough money to bring him back in that fight. As crazy as it sounds, McGregor/Khabib fights are way bigger because those guys have a whole country behind them who will all pay to see it. Same with Manny Pacquiao. Who knows though. It’s been a rough year so he might not come back, but I have a feeling there’s 1 fight left.
