Spence's bodywork and ability to cut the ring off are reason enough for me to go with him. He invests to the body a bit more than most fighters.

Still I agree, his chin needs some testing as others mentioned. Although Van Camp hit him with some nice shots, and he handled it well.

If you knew anything about boxing you would know past opponents don't matter when two fighters get in the ring

Spence is faster stronger and more technical lmao, it doesn't matter who he fights you can see the difference in talent

Keith Thurman's best win was robert guerrero before this fight he barely won lmao

When Spence destroys Bundu who Keith Thurma hopped on the bike against and was even getting touched up as fight progressed, you will see the difference in punching power, he's gonna finish the inferior fighter like Thurman couldn't do, because his power wasn't a threat to bundu.
So quality of opposition doesn't mean anything?

Only when it comes to accomplishment not talent, and Porter was Thurman's first real opponent on his level so he's not on some level far beyond spence.

When Mayweather, Tyson, Ali, every great fought bums you could see the dynamic skills. Keith hasn't showed that in a long time, and he's fought competition below his level, and hasn't looked spectacular in his last 3 or 4 fights prior to this porter fight.

Spence was already calling thurman out, and thurman tried to big brother him, when he not that dude, his WBA belt was gifted to him, and he's not a big star like canelo who had mega fight against Floyd to give him recognition.

If these guys won't fight Spence how is suppose to get them on his resume, after he stomps bundu he will fight for the IBF belt, but I'm sure Brook will vacate before facing spence.

Well Spence next fight makes him a mando for Brook & Brook and Vargas bout to unify IBF n WBO. I think Spence beats both.

Hopefully we get Thurman vs Danny to unify WBC a WBA...

Spence vs Thurman or Danny for all of the belts :damn:


We have the possibility of any of the fighters mentioned being on some

Smart money says Thurman/Spence but low key Danny has somewhat already done it at 140 :ohhh:

So do we ignore the fact that Thurman was coming off an injury he had to get surgery for and wasn't being aggressive with Bundu like in his previous fights?

he struggled against collazo though, lmao, thurman looked good at the begining of the fight, thats no excuse, Bundu adjusted and start cutting the ring off and keith had a hard time keeping away from him. He should'e smoked that old man if he was "the next generation" type of fighter.

I'm choosing the guy who's already done it

But I'm a 100% sure we won't get an undisputed champ at 147

Got a strong feeling the winner of Brook v Vargas drops the IBF N keeps the WBO

Then Spence gotta fight the Russian or PED for the vacant IBF

I doubt Spence will be able to stay at 147 long enough to fight all the champs especially with the IBF N their Mandos

He won every round lmao, even the one he almost got KO'd in, and the following round when he was still running lmoa

Amir Khan dominated Collazo in better fashion, also Collazo is washed up, he should've obltierated him in a few rounds if he was a true beas lmao

So making him quit on his stool after the 6 round didn't happen?? So he didn't win every round except 1?? Really?? :mjlol:

The nikka almost got put away by a journeyman lmao and he suppose to be the next great welterweight lmao The fight ended after the 7th round, but you never know what you are talking about
Collazo got a cut in a bad spot, he wans't hurt

he suppose to be a power punching but Collazo was the one stalking him lmoa

But it's not the fact he won, it's ho he won, he didn't look spectucular in none of those victories, his face was marked up, he really didn't show anything elite in his last 4 fights.

Spence would likely beat Thurman up. Thurman needs to tie up more in exchanges cause he ain't winning an exchange battle with Spence. Spence is also a bigger dude with what I think is bigger power at 147 but he also from time to time gets hit a little more than you'd like. I like Spence though. Spence gonna end up at 160lbs at some point.

I think Spence eventually becomes the best fighter (after Mayweather and Pacquiao), but I don't want to crown him until he continues to take more steps up.

I think 147 has become wide open and although deep, the elite talent is gone right now.

If I have Spence as my future number 1, I have Thurman as my number 2 right now. But any place is up for grabs right now. Guys need to start making fights and going for the crown.

I like this answer the best

I need Errol to fight again in December after his fight in July. And fight 3 more times next year. Need One Time to stay undefeated in that time frame.

Basically I would like to see some buildup before they fight. Let Errol beef up his record a little more.
