Would Garcia beating Spence be the best win of the modern era?

If Spence loses to Garcia, you will get people saying Spence was never that good anyway, never fought top fighters and only beat a Brook coming off a loss/surgery/dropping too much weight, which i actually think there's some truth to.
That's the thing, there's never any middle ground with boxing fans. You're either winning or a hype job.

Originally posted by deathofaclown View PostWell, that's the question altogether. Is Spence THAT established? - one could argue that all Spence has done is beat Brook that dropped down 2 weight divisions and coming off eye surgery and a beating off GGG.
But in terms of high profile fights, it's not often you get a fight with 2 supposed top quality operators that many have in the P4P top 10, and one of them jumps 2 divisions and on paper has all the odds stacked against them with few giving him a chance.
Maybe modern era is the wrong way to put it. I meant in the past 10-15 years kind of thing.

He got hit flush by a huge Middleweight in his prime numerous times and took them. Barkley also showed some good boxing skills but Duran (37) put on a masterclass and dropped him. Duran was a beast.
Very, very few boxers today have Duran's mix of supreme skills, ring savvy, and grit.

LOL get out if you think Ward beating Kovalev is better than Garcia beating Spence. I don't know where to begin to explain how silly that is.
Not only does Garcia become P4P#1 if he beats Spence, but he becomes P4P#1 through 10. He will be p4p by several country miles

if spence took out everyone in welter then I'd say sure, but spence's best win is still over a broken brook
i would say marquez over pacquiao in their 4th fight but it's too bad marquez had to be on the roids to do it
don't know about "best" but pacquiao over fishnets needs to be up there mainly because pacquiao was never supposed to win and he not only won, but pretty much destroyed him that he didn't even want to come off his stool. fishnets was the favorite and a lot of people said his jab alone would beat pacquiao. I don't buy the "weight drain" because pacquiao was coming from 135 and fishnets 154, are they not supposed to meet in the middle and was pacquiao supposed to go from 35 to 54? Folks also forget fishnets was preparing to go back to 47 since that's where the rematch with the woman beater *floyd was going to take place. Prior to the fight there were no talks of fishnets being over the hill weight drained etc, it was only after he got destroyed folks started to say that
