    Wrong he's rated about right I would pick him over thurman right now. He's good right now still young and will only get better.

    Errol Spence is a good fighter, I like the guy but he's not the next big thing. I don't think he's taking the time to improve his skills fight-by-fight.

    He does need to if he wants to be the best he can be. Right now he's JUST a good fighter.

    I think he is a solid fighter but we havent seen him really tested as a pro and he has been in soft so far

    I see people rating him over Porter or Thurman and I think thats crazy

    People think he can beat those guys, I think I'm ok with that

    he's ko/tko and hurting people who have never been dropped or stopped and he's doing it with body and head shots
    he also showed abilty to adjust when in his last fight is opponent was tagging him with uppercuts
    tht same guy had an impressive ko ratio and he took those shots like they were nothing so he has a solid chin
    top three ww in my opinion

    So you would have him over Pacquiao or do you leave Manny out since he is virtually retired?

    You rate him ahead of Thurman, why? (not arguing with you, just want to see your reasoning)

    He is well rounded, has decent size, and good physical tools. However, he's not exceptional at any one thing. I expect a Lamont Peterson type career (minus the roids i hope), which is way more than most can say.

    Other than that i don't ever see him as a top P4P guy.
