I have enough knowledge about boxing to know this

Who's the poster who they keep trying to lock in an insane asylum again and again and again, going way back in time, for merely speaking the truth and prophesying the future accurately?

How many times has that poster been proven right when they all said he was wrong or out of his goddamn mind?

How many times does someone have to be proven right to make you a believer?

How many times does that person have to accurately predict the future for you to admit they have the gift?

I know everything about boxing

 

What have I been saying about Spence forever?

That he's a meat & potatoes fighter or ''basic'' as Bomac described him the other day and that his skills aren't elite

You can still be very good or great being basic but the way so many banged on about his ''amazing fundamentals'' and how he does everything so well was always comical to me.

His amazing fundamentals sure didn't look too amazing the other night when he was being completely outclassed and didn't have a clue what to do to make the fight even remotely competitive.

That was probably Crawford's easiest fight at 147. Porter, Mean Machine, and Benavidez all did way better than him and were competitive throughout and took numerous rounds off him, and Avanesyan did better too. Horn probably did as well. Hell, even the shell of Kell and the ghost of Khan did better against him than Spence did.

What else have I been saying about him?

That his lofty P4P ranking was utterly ridiculous and totally unwarranted, and that's back when he was ranked at #6, #7 and #8 and more recently when he was ranked in the top 5. Credible outlets had him as high as 2 or 3 and countless fans had him just as high or even #1. That's insane!

So when people cite his match up with Crawford being between two top 5 P4P pounders, whilst technically correct, it's only because Spence has been afforded this completely unwarranted and undeserved P4P top 5 ranking. There isn't another fighter in the P4P top 10 he could beat if they were all the same size IMO and he stands zero chance against the ones with special elite skills and qualities.

I've also been saying that I don't like the way he reacts to getting hit at all and he's the only fighter in the sport I've said this about. He's been hurt a whole bunch of times by light to average punchers and had to spit out his mouthpiece to buy himself time. Ugas hurt him badly with a nothing shot.

And I've also been saying he's forged a career on facing career 140 pounders, blown up 135 Mikey, and featherfists or average punchers at best and that he's fought very few punchers let alone ones his size and certainly no KO artists his size.

@CST80 has been saying all this all along too

He's a very good fighter, arguably a lower end P4P guy, but in no way, shape or form should he ever have been ranked in the top 5, let alone 4, 3, or 2 and so many had him ranked #1 and the best fighter in the sport in their eyes
