    I assume via eye test, right? Because Spence's resume is way better.
    Won't really argue with that. But i do think they are close together, none of them are way ahead of the other.
    The only questionable decision he got was the Pacquiao debacle. And that fight was a lot closer than some like to admit(still a robbery).
    Marquez ran him close but Bradley edged it.
    I don´t think Bradley is overrated at all. People were 50-50 when it came to the Marquez fight and even with Khan.
    No one is claiming he is an ATG or belongs to the HOF.

    Um. Sarcasm or trolling?

    He definitely does not have a top 5 resume of sub-35 year olds.

    Plus Quillin. And he's made it quite clear he wants Charlo.

    Fair post. I rate Pirog at the least on Spence level. Based on the eye test and his win over Jacobs helps a lot. Although I dont know if that version of Jacobs is as good as current Jacobs. I doubt it.

    As for Bradley. Hes been pumped up by delusional Pac fans and was marketed hard by TV networks to be a lot better than he was. Many call him a HOFer. When I think a legit HOFer his own size and actually in their prime like a prime Miguel Cotto would rip him in half.

    I like your posts of late but this one does strike me as pretty absurd. Derev over Garcia or Lucas? No way, not close. I suppose that's just my opinion but boy would I feel good about debating that.

    It's funny as I feel Cotto to be the most overrated fighter of his generation.

    I like Chenkos work rate. Garcia fades and just doesnt do anything and has gotten too many gifts.

    Lucas M. Solid fighter, but not as good as Chenko IMO.

    Eh, I don't think Garcia has ever gotten a shred of the respect he deserves. He is accomplished, to a high level.

    As for Lucas, he was always flawed. And overrated by the masses here during his peak.

    Your claim is fine, especially the Lucas part, it just depends on Derev picking up some solid wins in his career from here out. I expect he will. But as of now I just can't vibe with it. We shall see.

    Just seen a vid about GGG v Canelo and the guy was spot on in saying did anyone really think they were ever gonna let an Easter European beat their Vegas cash cow?doesnt matter what happened in the ring as folk will believe anything or not care.

    Should add that this guy predicted this,predicted Kovalev getting stuffed to Ward and now says they setting Usyk up for loss against Bellew.

    Canelo-GGG fights were LOCATION fights. GGG would have won in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, London, Kazakhstan etc. we all know that

    I like Danny J and he appears to be headed to the down slide IMO. He has had difficulties in his last three fights which were tough aze fights for any MW.
    Last night he got shook a few times and showed the nay sayers that Devey is a real threat in MW

    Jacobs is a top fighter but let's be real, he's getting the benefit of the doubt now instead of hate because he signed with Hearn, potentially will fight on DAZN next and technically lost to ggg. Folks saying stuff I already know about him. He's a great dude, strong willed, and a top fighter by any measure.
