    No, one close win over Brook doesn't elevate him that high in my opinion.

    I was hoping Spence would live up to the hype but he didn't. Despite the best win of his career he didn't look like a future P4P king. Brook out boxed him for periods, had him looking vulnerable before Brook tired and the eye became a factor.

    Brook had a lot of success with counter jabs, right hand leads. He had Spence backing off and looking vulnerable at one point but that's when Brook should of stepped on the gas but his tank was empty by then and that allowed Spence to get back in the fight.

    Give Spence credit though, he's showed fortitude and did make adjustments.

    I have him somewhere between 11-15 for now. If he defeats Pacquiao or Thurman, he'll probably enter top 10.

    Erroll Spence Jnr is a special talent. Kell Brook until last night was the best welterweight champion of the world and Spence made him quit in his hometown in his first world title fight. Ask yourself if the other top welterweight would have faced Brook in the U.K. or in Sheffield?

    Yes, even before the fight. If you can honestly sell yourself that you know of 10 fighters more talented AND proven it, you're simply delusional and a lost cause
