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

[Jedi Vader]

Any version of spence we have seen yet would lose to 38 year old Floyd that fought Pac and Berto.

Im sure the rumors of him doing well in sparring for Floyd's guerrero fight were true but that is just sparring.

Floyd in a 12 round fight where he is fighting to win the decision, completely outboxes spence.

End thread.

cotto was toward the end? LMFAO
floyd is older than manny

Four years older than Cotto and two years older than Manny.

Yet people out here saying if Floyd fought them in their prime he would lose even though he was older than they were.

I’m not gonna go down the list and name every body shot KO he has but the man has 31 KOs in 35 wins so stop with all this “he was a head hunter” BS. Watch the Broner and Mayweather fights and count how many body punches the guy throws then come back to me and say he’s “not a body puncher” lol.

None of those guys are body punchers like Spence? So Spence is a better body puncher than Cotto and Canelo? LOL. Stop it. You are winding me up...

Hatton wasn’t big enough? This is a guy that walked around at 200lbs plus and used to put on 20lbs after the weigh in against a guy who walked around at 147. Same with De La Hoya. What’s the excuse for him losing? Or Cotto? Man stop. Cotto is by far and away a better body puncher than Spence or even Hatton. Floyd fought him toe-to-toe and still won 10/12 rounds. Spence is not a better fighter than Miguel Cotto.

Don’t think it would’ve been any more interesting than the Zab Judah and Cotto fights to be honest. Might give Floyd trouble for a round or two but it’s all downhill from there...

Spence is the best body puncher in the sport. No one throws more body shots than Spence, no land lands more body shots than Spence, and no one has more accuracy and consistency with body shots than Spence.

His whole style is built around body snatching.

You must have never watched a Spence fight if you don't know this.

I see what you’re saying but pretty much everyone Floyd fought after 2009 came in heavier. Doesn’t mean they were “stronger” or “bigger”. Spence is strong don’t get me wrong but Mayweather from 20-30 was knocking out or stopping most guys too. Even a 33 year old Mayweather pushed Mosley around the ring and hurt him several times. Shane was meant to be “bigger and stronger” but it just wasn’t the case. Floyd just didn’t try to knock people out due to hand problems so I can agree with you later on in his career. But in his prime at 130-140 he was knocking out almost everybody.

I remember after Floyd schooled Marquez the HBO cast (Lampey, Merchant, and Steward) all agreed that Floyd, Manny, and Mosley were the three best welterweights.

The p4p rankings read #1Manny, #2 Marquez, and #3 Mosley in that order, not welterweight rankings, but p4p.

The question was posed as to who should Floyd fight next.

Manny Stewart said that he would like to see Floyd fight Mosley next and not Pacquiao. He said that he wanted to see Floyd against a big, strong, and full fledged, elite welterweight and not Manny Pac who is smaller (allegedly). The whole cast agreed that Mayweather vs Mosley was the next best fight to make.

Floyd took the Mosley fight and whooped that azz.

Then the excuses came.

💯 truer words have never been spoken.
Meanwhile PAC got busy padding up his resume against Brandon Rios, Mathysse, Horn, Algieri, Broner, Vargas etc (he even fought Mosley right afterMosley got beat up by Floyd). none of these guys were ranked in the top 10 WW neither will they be in the HoF.

This is the definition of cherry-picking

Not in boxing its not it is and always has been about weight.

There are loads of fighters from 130 to 175 that are longer framed than Mike Tyson.

Boxing is weight, if you can make a weight healthy that is your size, you start crying about a tall skinny guy fighting a short solid guy you are not talking about any one on one combat, weight is fair in fighting every other measurement is arbitrary to the weight.

Hatton outweighed Floyd 153 to 151 on fight night, its all explained by Ricky in his book, he talks of being 159 against Collazo and sluggish, talks about how small Floyd is, talks about being at his best fighting weight for Mayweather which was the same weight he was when beating Tszyu and Castillo 153.

“Bigger” in boxing has always meant that a boxer weighs more. You can’t change that.

The bigger man in the ring has always been determined by weight. You can not seriously have, for example, 5’11” Diego Corrales vs 5’11” Roy Jones jr and say that they’re the same “size”. Or you can not have 6’1” Paul Williams vs 5’10” Mike Tyson and say that Paul Williams is bigger “because he’s taller and has longer reach than Tyson”.

Another example is Dwight Muhammad Qwai. He was 5’5” with a 71” reach. Would you say that GGG is “bigger” than him, applying your logic?

Size is about dimensions. Weight is one dimension. Check the definition of size...

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.

Its funny that they only talk about the 1st session but they never want to talk about the multiple sessions they had cuz it is said that after that 1st session Floyd was Floyd schooling Errol.

[j.razor]

Errol too slow & flat-footed to beat T.B.E.
