Actually makes a lot of sense, Mayweather always has some good points but I'm guessing that path is a more challenging one?

Yeah ir’s him or Gamboa. Dulorme was pretty azhletic too so was Indongo but with a shytty technique to boot
Then your statement doesn’t make sense or it was rhetorical. You should’ve just said if Mell hurts him he will finish him. Somehow you either think Bud’s chin is weaker at higher weight, or Mell hits harder than anyone Bud has faced. No evidence of either plus Mell isn’t as fast or as good a boxer as Gamboa was at 135.

No. Spence’s bread was buttered at 147. Had he moved up he would’ve been beat a long time ago. The key word is advantage. Some fighters fight at low weights so they can use their strength/power as advantage. Like Oscar. The plan was to start at lowest weight possible and grab all the titles you can for marketability purposes. Floyd style was different so his path was different. The only anomalies I can think of off top is PAC and Inuoye because they really are knockout punchers with speed. As I previously mentioned at least half of Porter fights were at junior middle or above.

Other than talking about his fight with Chico and saying Errol should be at 160 or 168, he said a whole bunch of nothing.
Shoe fits I see, gotcha
Broner is not special like Bud but he has some serious talent. Mentally he just ain’t there. If he had worked with other trainers and moved his hands he would’ve been better. He still is going to be a legit threat at 140 but technically he not on Shakur level.

Pretty much. He don’t like to analyze fighters in public.

“Break him down Errol, chop-chop-chop”
Feels like James’ status dropped some with this fight. He gets his guys in proper shape, toughens them up but this wasn’t it…
It was perfectly clear from round two that any time Spence proceeded with trying to “chop him down” he was met with some vicious counters in short order

My favourite sequence from the fight. I've watched this a million times. Brutal ballet dancing, this is Boxing at its best.

It doesn’t show when they switch sides so it’s a bit confusing but it looks nice

Base, he even managed to squeeze some Canelo shots in there as alwaysOther than talking about his fight with Chico and saying Errol should be at 160 or 168, he said a whole bunch of nothing.
Personally I think Floyd was reaching with the 160-168 stuff, maybe in an alternate path Spence could been looking at 160 NOW but going to 154 right away then jumping to 160 and 168 years ago? nah. Those guys just have different frames. Lil Charlo ain't even do that until this Canelo fight and in the locker room pre fight you can see the difference in frame between Spence and Charlo. Let's see how these dudes do at 154 before we start pretending like they could been champs at super middleweight
