Errol Spence Jr’s 147 legacy

[Fidel456]

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.

Ur really comparing sweet pea and Oscar to this era of welterweights?

[boliodogs]

I think Spence is the best welterweight and beats Crawford and has fought much better welterweights than Crawford. Crawford said he will return to 135 and Spence cannot make that weight. Who Spence fights and how he looks in those fights over the next two years plus what he has already done should determine how he rates among the good welterweights of all time.

You guys talking about Legacy for guys who are F^cking 30 Years Old

Slow Down! Spence Jr is just getting started technically so way too early to start talking about "Legacy"

[Doubledagger]

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.

HOF and ATG aren't the same thing. For instance Mikey Garcia is a four division champion. That's a HOF achievement, but he is not an ATG.

I’m asking about his 147 legacy taking those two paths considering he said he’s got 2-3 fights left there and with him actually moving up after 3 more fights.. yes his legacy isn’t cemented until he retires, and barring injuries I expect to see him @ 154 & 160+ for some big fights

[Noelanthony]

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.

He needs to fight Crawford that’s it. He can just have 1 fight and that’s Crawford and I will be satisfied. I actually think Crawford is easily the more skilled of the two but I just believe Spence will smoke him down the stretch and insert his will. How can Crawford be 34 and he is yet to be tested. One can say he is that good but if I look at his opponents they are garbage. Crawford needs this fight too

Right now it's nothing great. The Brook win was very good, but he's never proved he's better than Crawford, being one of the top 2 for a few years and beating some top 10 opponents makes you about the 79th best 147lber of all time

You know your argument if weak because you're saying Porter gets into the HOF, surely nobody believes that and Spence fans are just pretending when they say it?

You say 'if he beats Pac and Crawford'. Of course if he did that it'd change everything but we can say the same about any current welterweight. If Kudratillo Abdukakhorov beats Pac and Crawford in his next 2 fights he gets into the HOF too, just empty fantasy talk
