Can Spence be a greater welter than De La Hoya?

Can Spence wear fishnets like ODLH is the real question we want answered.

 

Dumb question no one can wear fish nets like Oscar. No one

 

No. Oscar was a level above.

 

It all depends. If he beats Pacman and then Crawford and Thurman? that would be great at welt. But he will never match Oscar as a great. At welt. perhaps.

 

He's already an alcoholic like Oscar. He's just gotta start coke now.

 

As another great poster indicated, if Errol Spence can defeat Terrence Crawford, Manny Pacquaio, and Keith Thurman, then he has earned his stripes in my book, just has to be careful driving.

 

ODLH is 10-3 at that weight. Does Spence really need all those scalps to overtake him at WW specifically?

 

One of those three losses was a robbery against a truly elite welterweight though. Not his fault, but Spence isn't going to have the chance to fight any welterweight as good as Tito.

 

id take spence or crawford to beat oscar.

 

Yes, but he was probably a bit fortunate to get the decision against Quartey and even the Whitaker fight could have gone the other way, so it more or less evens out in the end.

 

Unfortunate against Mosley

 

That was 154, though, if I'm not mistaken.

 

Fair point. He did cram in some big fights in that 13.
I feel a win for Spence against Crawford is enough as beating an old Pac doesn't do much for him, nor beating Thurman who is now just the guy that lost to an old Pac.

 

I voted no because first off it's too early to tell IMO and secondly the level of talanted fighters is not as good at the moment and may not be during his career. As an edit please stop bringing Pac up the man is in his early 40's for Pete's sake
