    I was more just listing the best 147 pounders they both fought to be honest.

    As to who I think are as tough or better. Pac, Floyd, Melon Head Miguel, Mosley, and Timachenko for sure. Spence still has a lot to prove and his resume is poor. Talented fighter but he still has a way to go to be mentioned in the same breath as some of the fighters his groupies pick him to beat, let alone actually beat them. Not sure Spence is better than Maidana or Baldomir either or Clottey. JMM is much better than Spence but obviously considerably smaller.

    Spence's size (not his non-existent BBC; see the disgraceful Brook weigh in) is a big (no pun intended) factor in his intimidation and hype.

    Right now, he's just powering through dudes.

    Yep this,after the Brook fight I became a Spence fan on account of him traveling but you’re right until we see him against another top guy it’s impossible to tell though I suspect he’s the real deal.

    Mayweather and Pac were supremely gifted which is why they sold so many PPVs,elite level boxers like those two are a once in a generation type thing and how good was Sugar Shane Mosley in his pomp lol?

    He used the letters BBC. So I'm really starting to wonder if he referring to something gay here.

    I must be naive or just clueless to that type of stuff as the only BBC that comes to mind is the television and radio broadcast lol.

    Type in BBC on Google and you may find yourself looking at some adult entertainment.

    I think the Kell Brook fight was a very good win. I know people always try down playing that win but, it was his best. It's crazy! There are several top guys that can make him a first ballet HOF'er. Crawford, Thurman, Porter, Garcia. Noway he doesn't get a spot in the hall if he beat those guys. Same goes for the rest.

    It was a good win but an overrated one due to a number of factors.

    He ain't beating One Time if Keithy is even 80% of what he was before the inactivity. That fight finishes wit Spence on his back or face.

    Thurman is a tough fight for all at 147. Good power, good fundamentals and ring IQ. That's a fight I want to see. Actually, I want to see Crawford/Spence, Crawford/Thurman, Thurman/Spence. All good fights!
