If he wasn't thrown in with GGG? Top dog in the division? He looked that way to me. He took some monster bombs from GGG so he had extreme durability to go with the skill speed and reflexes
He would never have reached Bud`s level, he doesn`t know how to evade the jab, he ate tons of jabs from GGG and Spence.
He could of been best 147lb this decade . Too bad he met GGG , the best middleweight since Hagler who caved his head in.
Sorry I Ishould have clarified I meant if he'd been at 147, or 154 which I feel was perfect for him. Having said that, even at 160 he looked extremely good
Good God there's a lot wrong with this. Mayweather or Pacquiao are the only acceptable choices for best Welterweight of the decade. How is GGG better than Jones? Or Hopkins? Toney? Or even the Nunn, Johnson, McCallum, Kalambay group?
Pre-Good Boy'd Special K 100% beats Spence and I can't see Crawford's shaky mandible taking too many of those chocolate brownies straight down the pipe or a non-juiced Manny making it to the final bell.
He's far better than those guys. And I have him beating Hagler and Monzon Brook passed the eye test with flying colours. And in this day and age that's sadly all that matters
Would've beaten Khan for sure. Not sure anything past that would have kept him quite as motivated, however.
Better than Roy Jones Jr???? Have you watched RJJ? GGG does not beat Hagler or Monzon, you're objectively wrong. Brook was good at MW, but ultimately too small. Had things played out differently I think he'd have gone on to move up to 154, then been dominant there.
Not much further than he did. I don't think he was every going to beat Spence. He'd be floating around the Thurman\Porter level still, taking part in their exchange of 7-5 decisions
