Spence has wins over

Brook - damaged goods Brook, mind
Peterson - career 140 pounder featherfist
Algieri - career 140 pounder Paulie level featherfist
Mikey Garcia - blown up 135 pounder who'd come up from 126 and had about as much right being up at 147 as Spence does of being down at 135

And Algieri was 1-2 in his last 3 fights, Peterson should've been 1-2 in his last 3, and Brook was coming off stoppage loss, a beating, a serious eye injury and gruesome surgery to repair it, back down from 160 after bulking up to fight up there (and everyone knows making 147 was pure torture for Brook prior to bulking up), and a savage HL billy goat butt from hell by Spence in round 8 which caused Brook's eye to swell up like an onion and it obviously had a big impact on both Brook and the fight itself.


Crawford has win at 147 over

Horn - whose only claim to fame was winning a foul filled gift decision mugging against Manny in Oz who only 7 of the 67 members of press row, fight scribes, fellow fighters who were polled scored for Jeffrey Horn (55 for Pac, 7 for Horn, 5 draw)
Benavidez - peg-leg cripple who clearly has difficulty moving in and out of range since having been shot in the leg and who freely admits it hinders him and he has to try and block out the pain

And don't forget Manny's incredible resume below 147 either which includes such notable scalps as the legendary MAB x 2, Morales x 3, JMM, Hatton, and Sasakul to name but a few and how many times has he fought outside his country and fought opponents in their backyards?

Manny doesn't just clearly have the best resume at 147 out of all of them, he's also beating up much bigger and heavier opponents and fighting outside of his homeland, whereas the complete reverse is true with Crawford and Spence and if the later impresses you more than the former then there's something wrong wit chu. The same applies with the Loma vs Crawford P4P debate too.

I was rooting for Pac so hard tonight. So glad he won.

I was wrong about him being too old to beat Thurman. I had that as a 50/50 type matchup due to Pacs age.

I maintain that he is going to get beat, possibly beat up, and quite possibly stopped, when he gets fed to Spence.
