    Floyd held on to him for dear life though.

    The scoring in the Barrera was fight was dubious.

    False. The Brook that Spence fought, would have beaten. Marquez, Walking Corpse De La Hoya, shot Mosely, shot Margarito, Hatton, and Bradley.

    For a career like Pacquiaos a win over an old Mosley is just a footnote. For a young unproven fighter like Spence a win over a damaged Brook is something to be proud of.

    But yes I listed 13 wins on Pacquiaos resume that are better than Brooks best win. I couldn't make it to 15.

    And Steve Cunningham beats Kell Brook. What's your point that Brook beats Marquez, Bradley and Hatton? He should hes the bigger man. Those Pac wins are better p4p.

    He would never have toyed with Brook.

    Stop being silly.

    Floyd was a safety first fighter with bad hands at that point. He was content to pot shot his way to wins.

    Brook's size, power, youth and speed would have given Floyd a lot of trouble.

    I never watched Sasakul besides his fight with Pacquiao. But he did beat the top Flyweight of the 90s. And he was schooling Pac. At that point Pac was extremely green and out of his depth against Sasakul. Pac only had a punchers chance and landed the bomb and knocked him out. I dont know if prime Sasakul is better p4p than a past prime Brook. But he was highly regarded.

    Oscar can't rate that highly.

    Right.

    And Kell was better than a shot version of Mosley.

    Oh yes. The famous round 2.

    Have you ever watched it? He attempts to tie up for literally 3 seconds after each of the two big shots. I suppose that is "(holding) on to him for dear life though," to you, huh? I think you need a rewatch. Floyd decisively won the last minute of the round, walking Shane down.

    Margarito isn't among his twenty top victories. He has a legendary resume and if you guys manage to think Margarito is a top ten win, remotely notable, or anywhere close to as relevant as Spence/Brook, you are ridiculous.

    You guys realize he was completely and utterly unranked in every capacity for good and real reasons, don't you?

    A prime Margarito could be a tough styles matchup for Spence. Erroll is not a slick mover. Hes there to be hit. And Margarito likes to go to war. And Spence might just oblige him.

    Any version of Margarito would be some kind of a punching bag in that matchup. Way too slow and one dimensional. Spence could beat him multiple ways. (truly I feel Margarito is the most overrated fighter in recent times, I must disclose, not even just because of the bricks... whatever claim is made about him I will generally always think lesser)

    I doubt it. We saw what Margarito did with Cotto and a way past it Cotto and undersized cotto IMO possibly outboxed Alvarez. A draw would have been a good call on that fight but no way Alvarez ever losing a decision.

    I can't agree with that.

    Who are the WW's in front of him?

    Brook was a top 5 WW in my opinion.
