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

[John Locke]

Errol is supposed to say this, but a prime Mayweather is a different ballgame, 9-3/10-2

The kid has a right to feel this way

He was recently in a very bad accident and PTSD affects people different but this dude deserves SSI right now.

Floyd will do to you what he did to Corrales, Canelo, Cotto and all the rest of those former multiple belt holders. U can’t play boxing and right now U have shown yourself to have discipline problems because U are a drunk, and you know what they said about a drunk; A drunk A.S.

I’m just saying

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.

Facts . mayweather was an excellent defensive fighter yet towards the middle to latter part didnt fight anyone in there prime zab judah pacquiao de la hoya cotto. Even canelo, canelo hadnt hit there prime was green and hadnt been on that level yet. Imagine the prime canelo of the past 2 yrs vs mayweather that day. Canelo for the win or if mayweather fought pacquio in 2009-12. Beforre they both missed a step. Shows pacquio level cause pacquiao missing 2 steps is still a top 4 boxer and official champ in the deepest division

In order to be the best you gotta beat the best, and the best is BLESSED BABY

Floyd outsmarted his opponents in and out of the ring. Spence starts out way to slow and by the time he starts to get going Floyd would be up every round on the cards. Sparing means little to nothing to me. I may not be a fan of Floyd's style as TMT but he was effective and knew how to dissect his opponent.

I mean Floyd even admitted it man

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTWCxhZILQ4

What exactly did he admit ?
How long you’ve been watching boxing ?
He couldn’t even remember who the Fugh he was sparring
Brother , Floyd was giving the dog a bone
That script was written in stone
Big Al or whoever told him to give praise , that’s it that’s all
Like I said he couldn’t remember the script ffs

[DaNeutral.]

These PBC fighters sure are confident. Wilder says he beats every single past Heavyweight ATG and Spence beats Floyd which means Spence thinks he is better than Floyd.

Man you can't even concede a point against your argument, when it is obvious..and who really cares about this topic anyways, not like either of us should dig our heels in on it that much.

You're embarrassing yourself...a good debate should involve laying out the facts and letting your opinion flow from there...not starting with what you want to be true and defending that POV regardless of what the facts show.

Everyone knows Spence gave Floyd some really good work in sparring

That’s all good
Not getting into anything
But I find it hard , actually very hard to believe that Spence would give Floyd any problems
And I’m not even a fan of his
I saw Floyd fight live , as much as I hate the guy , let me tell you he was one of the fastest boxers I’ve ever seen
All this for me to say that Spence is one dimensional , in the sense that he’s never been tested or bullied
We all saw what Kell fughin Brook did to him before the onslaught
Just not impressed or ever was with Spence
So yeah , i find it very hard to believe that he gave Floyd any kind of problem

I NEVER said Manny beat a prime Mosley; go back and read that post again. As a matter of fact, Manny didn’t beat a prime Mosley or a prime Cotto as I am concerned. I said, Floyd did not beat a “prime” Manny who beat Cotto, Mosley, Hatton, & Oscar. A PRIME MANNY. Neither Manny of Floyd beat a prime Mosley. I said that a bunch of times on this forum over the years.

————————-

Here’s what you wrote copied and pasted;

I think with Manny, everyone will say look what he did to Thurman, but that wasn’t the same Manny that dominated Cotto, Hatton, Oscar, and Mosley and others earlier in his prime. Floyd didn’t get a “prime” Manny.

I see some semantics there and admit a lot of people can misread what you wrote. That said, you write clearly, that a prime Manny dominated Mosley. Bro, Mosley had just been beaten from pillar to post by Floyd a year earlier.

Floyd gave Hatton his first Loss and beat Oscar despite the odds being stacked against him (ring size, glove size, referee, judges and purse size were all in favor of Oscar including a rehydration clause for Floyd to be at 154 to slow him).

Meanwhile, Manny fought Oscar at 147, a weight Oscar hadn’t fought at in 7 years.

So when you talk about a “prime” money, all these facts have to be included. If Manny was demanded catchweights against Oscar, Cotto and Margarito, do you honestly believe he would have fought Floyd without some weird catchweight or glove size or ring size demands? I highly doubt that.

In fact Freddy Roach said several times that Manny wasn’t ready for Floyd, all the way to 2010. You can find those videos online.
