    Before the Mikey fight I would have said yes mainly because y'all said so then the Brooks fight happened I couldn't watch it live but I was reading the round by round
    you guys had it for Spence
    then I watched it I saw Spence get stunned in each of the first five rounds wasn't till like the seventh round when he finally started landing some good combos to the body then in the ninth the head butt then he can't finish Mikey

    To be special, you don't need to win every second of every round. You find ways to win, adapt and overcome world class fighters. I think he is special, but he better start fighting better competition NOW.

    No. Nothing he does is special. But he is solid in almost every department.

    First of all what do you mean by stunned? But anyhow, yes he is. He befuddled a top P4P boxer using skill and technique. Loma has been knocked down, bruised up in fights and even has a loss to a mediocre fight and its impossible to tell his fans that his isn't the GOAT.

    Headbutts happen in most fights, and this one was accidental. Its not the real reason Brook lost.

    I'll take Tank's skill set all day over Spence's. That kid is probably the most talent in boxing right now.

    spence would beat prime pac and prime floyd at 147, thats how special i think he is. he, like every other fighter is spending much of his career developing, but he is not done yet. the brook fight is akin to canelo fighting trout, both learning at a new level, but spence left no doubt as to who is best.
    if you like, we can post the fight rd by rd and i can tell you what i see happening, much of which coincides with what i said pre fight would happen.
    im sure theres plenty of people that think im crazy, thats why i dont make a campaign about pushing what i see. but i said 3 years ago how canelo would beat ggg in 2 years time. things become a lot clearer, when you understand EVERYTHING that is going on.

    Prime Pac would stop Spence. Spence might beat Floyd, though.
