    You make a great point. I have always felt the same way about Danny G. What is his signature win? A mere con? No chin! The rest of the guys were old or fringe guys at that point of their careers. Zab already had 7 losses when Garcia fought him. The Matthysse and Peterson fights could have gone either way.

        Exactly. Garcia threw no left hooks.

          People Forget this is Spences first fight after a near death collision. Spence should be dead. The average man would be petrified to step in the ring after that trauma and all those bones broken.

          Spence is a great fighter and showed a lot.

          The people complaining, shows a lot
          About y’all as well just saying. Not in a good way, especially if y’all
          Fight fans.

          What happened to respecting the fighters?
          Which broken bones were they? I thought he didn't break any bones, unless you consider teeth bones?

          Not saying it wasn't a serious accident, but as far as both physical and mental damage he seemed to be extremely lucky and pretty much came out unscathed, no joint or bone damage and no memories of it.

            Gatti was inducted into HOF postmortem...was a politically correct move..
            Idgaf if they inducted a fighter in after he died due to political reasons, there are a lot of fringe champions in the HOF and yet you just said you wouldn’t put in Thurman or Danny in there?

            For Christmas sakes, Rocky Balboa is in there, make it make sense!

              PBC commentators said Spence walks around at 190...HUGE WW. ENORMOUS.

              Tough to manage against Spence height, reach, power, volume, and a tight/robotic defense. He can def be hit but he is far from a brawler
              Spence walks around as a cruiserweight? surely thats bs.

                Gatti was a peoples champ for sure but I think he doesnt get into HOF if he doesnt die.

                Mickey Ward aint get in did he ?

                  Rocky isnt a real person...and that movie franchise has been GREAT for boxing...and now it produced CREED series.

                  Thurman is a 1 weight champ with fringe wins over Porter and Garcia and a close loss to an old, shot Pacman.

                  Why would Thurman be HOF ???

                    The PBC commentators said Spence normally comes into camp at 190 but for his Garcia fight he come in between 160 and 170.

                    Spence fans dont want to hear anything negative...embarassing.

                    Spence is a glorified JCC Jr with a better jab and tigher defense...picking on smaller guys. Amazing

                      Danny is one of them fighters who is just a notch below. Good all around fighter, but can't quite win the big one against other top level welters. His losses to Thurman and Porter was very close. People don't realize how big Spence is for a welter. He usually cuts around 40+ pounds to make weight for a fight. Same with Crawford. Oddly enough no more mention of VADA for Spence, along with Charlos.
