right now those 2 are living up to their potential breh..thats what the list is about...pedraza would be lower if he wasn't a champion by the time i made that list...joshua was also an olympic gold medallist, valdez was not..potential breh
I get that. I personally look at it from their skills shown so far+ what they've accomplished divided by potential breh. The smoke formula.

I disagree with you on this. Thurman hits hard & it's not about landing in vulnerable areas either. You can hear his shots thud when they land. Thurman's one of the few guys that looks like he's trying to punch through the target. I amazed he doesn't have more hand problems then he does.

You can hear everybody punches when they land, and you are wrong about where the punches land. Thurman has even said it himself, but also you have to blind not to notice.

The knock downs on Bundu and Guerrero were both shots to temple. He didn't really beat up those guys at all. Guerrero took way more abuse against Andre Berto and Kamegai

what fight were you watching where he was trying to punch through guys or beat up somebody like spence did algeri

I was just using Brook as an example, and I think it's more like a 70/30 fight in Brooks favor. You can add in different scenarios for each fighter--what would he do if he was trying to crowd Porter like he did trapped in the cage? What would he do if he tried to attack the body without moving his head against Danny swift? What would he do trying to attack a southpaw who can punch etc. etc.?

It's not even talking down on Spence, he's in a comparable position to say #BeterBeast right now. More so triple g, destroy many B- level opponents (Although Chris was his first), and not have any experience against the top level.
Brook hasn't fought anybody but Shawn Porter. That's it. 70/30 is crazy.

True but Porter is much better than Algeri (or anyone Spence has fought) and Brook handled him like easy work. Brook is a big solid WW and fights like a machine. As of right now Spence is used to people just folding under his power/skill. I would be interesting to see him in there against someone that he would have to respect more. It's easy as shyt to tee off on dudes who have nothing to offer in return.

Brook and Porter are equal to me lmaoooo.

Fight is 50/50 to me. I just can't get over how Brook was just getting by journey man big homie.

What fights are you watching man? Second god damn you're on Spence's dikk after his FIRST step up fight. Thurman beat Collazo, beat Bundu, beat Guerrero, beat Chaves etc. They are all on the level of Algeria, maybe Algeria is a bit better but not crazy better. Guerrero beat the shyt out of Berto and barely took anything in response.

So if Errol didn't associate with TMT, would you be so behind him?

Winning a close decision is handling like easy work now :dead:

Brook might be the most overrated ww at the moment.

The fact that it was a foregone closure that Marcus Browne was going to win once it got to the cards is what's wrong with boxing. A fake knock down, all that holding without getting a penalty, dude basically got handled in the 2nd half of the fight and i STILL was certain he was going to get the decision because of the potential investment/money backing him. shyts corny

Man Gary Russell Jr has me looking at Loma like :jbhmm:. dude looks next level and the way Loma just schooled him is impressive. I want Russell to fight LSC next, hate that pity patting ass Mexican.
Also GRJ might be the most articulate boxer out there right now. Assuming continued success, it will be interesting to see if the boxing media gives him the same type of platform that they gave to c00ning Broner :sas1:
