Errol Spence Jr’s 147 legacy

[edpboxing]

Spence recently said, he’s got 2-3 fights left at 147.

Hypothetically, Spence fights Thurman, Pac, & Bud by 2022 & remains undefeated with no controversy.

Where does his 147 resume stack up?

Or Spence fights Ugas, Porter 2, & Thurman by 2022 & remains undefeated with no controversy

Personally, I think Spence needs to beat Bud to toss his name into the hat of greatest welters, but on other websites, I’ve said I’m not sure the fight happens @ 147, so what would the second trio of wins do for his resume?

All hypothetical, just curious about y’all’s thoughts.

if spence has three fights left at 147 then he should fight:

1. pacman
2. crawford
3. thurman

that would give him 8 title defenses at 147 having unified and beat four hofers:

1. mikey garcia
2. shawn porter
3. pacman
4. crawford

trinidad had 15 title defenses but only defeated two hofers at 147

1. pernell
2. oscar


in conclusion errol has a chance to go down as a top 5 welterweight all time if he gets pac and crawford.

Spence ain't dominating nobody..brook, porter, Garcia Disputed...problem

That fast?

I thought welterweight division is much deeper

The PBC had it on lock for a while, unfortunately for them all of the names are either;

A) getting older

Or

B) have already mixed and matched against each other before.

All the while they haven't really produced too many other potential welter weight stars.

In fact, all of the PBC WW names were pre manufactured elsewhere and bought out by Haymon in the genesis of the PBC. It is interesting to see what will happen once their names lose even more luster.

He has to fight bud there will be a mark on his resume If he doesn't fight him.

I agree 100%, but based off the two tiers of wins, and say he’s 30-0 21 KOS after either, where does he stack up?

Always higher than bud til bud fights 4 top 10opponents in there prime spence got brook n took his belt broke other half of face though brook kinda was damage goods from ggg fight. Spence got both garcias and n a close porter who bud got anyone top 10 at the time. Spence -3 fights probably add thurman maybe ugas. Then 154 honestly if beat charlo n lara n take belts he wouldnt need crawford n we know somewhere in there hes going 160 for 1 fight take ggg belt in 2022 for ggg wouldve aged out n then hes pulling a cotto n part time canelo with the catchweights for a title. Milking his legacy as a 3 division champ tech.

How the hell are those guys future HOFers? That's ridiculous, only one who has a shot is Crawford but he's pissing it away fighting mediocre opponents well into his mid 30's.

if arturo gatti and steve buchanan are in the HOF then shawn porter and mikey garcia are getting in.
