Errol Spence Jr.: Whether it's Porter or Thurman, it will be the same result...man down!

[Big Boss]

some yall put thurman on toooooooooooooo high of a pedestal at 147, especially after the guerrero win, even though he didn't look all that impressive to me.

being a decorated amateur and going to the olympics, how much fukking experience do you need to be ready for a title shot lol. either he's ready or not, i actually like spence chances against thurman though.

 

[Big Boss]

Young? He's 25 and Kool Keith is 26.

Floyd beat Genaro Hernandez in his 18th professional fight to become Champion...he was 21. Spence is older and has the same amount of fights.

I would put Spence in with Thurman if Spence wants it and his team believes in his talent.

and Ali beat Sonny Liston in his 20th fight to become the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion at 22 years old

Some of the greatest fighters won their first title in their early to mid 20's

he not that good tho breh. he aint got that TYPE of potential

 

[keepemup]

then again if porter can fight n struggle with bone(16-1) recently........





errol beat hoskins faster(1rdko) on 4/5/2013 than keith(3rdko) on 5/5/2012. not that it means much, but they do have a common opponent in a comparable time frame.


i might have to rethink this shyt..........................

They also both faced Phil Lo Greco. Porter went all 10 with him winning a UD, while Spence KO'd him in 3.

please explain what yah see in thruman, that makes it a dangerous fight for spence?

thruman is flawed as fuk and it's crazy that alot of guys out there think he's on another level then porter, and especially khan and brook. thurman been looking good against stationary guys.

Thurman got power and is explosive i give him that but, son is reckless at times and clumsy as fuk. guerrero already showed us he don't like fighting on the inside and thats something that spence does well at this point of his career. not to mention he's a helluva body puncher who knows how to set shyt up. Does thurman have that much of a high boxing IQ than the guys i already mentioned earlier in my post?

2 things i will say about spence, we don't know where his heart at and what his chin is like. thurman on the other hand we know he came back from being hurt in the chaves fight and stopped him. guerrero's blownup lightweight ass hurt him as well, i think in the 10th or 11th and he survived.




Spence-Thruman is a 50/50 fight and i like spence's chances.

nikkas fall in love with Power

The whole Thurman destroys errybody at 147 is

it does make you a champion, what to guys careers are over before you decide if their an all time great

broner has a lot of boxing left, he can he still win titles at 147

What would a win over a 17 fight Olympian who hasn't faced a top 50 Welterweight do for a top 10 Welterweight champion or former champion ?

nothing, nobody expects this fight to happen.

but it will be interesting to see cause may claims he will make sure errol fights for a belt on his undercard.

That's how I feel. He could probably beat Porter, but the young man needs to slow down and take his time. No way his handlers lets him get near Thurman at this point.

dude is 25, too soon my ass....he needs to fight reap comp period or hes gonna end up like gary russell

It's not about age but professional experience. You can step up your competition without facing a top level champion.

They were ready and the match-up itself made sense. This aint back in the day, there are a big monetary investments made into these fighters careers. Especially if a fighter is in the privileged position to get a guaranteed future title shot like Spence.
