No it's not irrelevant at all. If you're a natural 154 pounder who is all sinew and muscle at 147 beating up on natural 135 and 140 pounders who you're much naturally bigger, stronger and more powerful than obviously it's a huge advantage and it's hardly a coincidence Spence has looked beastly against all these 140 pounders and 135 Mikey and struggled badly against the only two world class career 147 pounders who he isn't much naturally bigger and stronger than. It's a different ballgame when you're facing world class opponents your own size, bigger or much bigger. Jermallo was a devastating puncher down at 154 but he's been taken the distance in four of his last five fights since moving up to 160 and facing opponents closer to his own size and the lone guy he stopped is a tiny 154 pounder leprechaun.

So break down how Spence beats Clenelo for us? Explain to me how you know Spence who pulls ouch that really hurt faces when he gets clipped clean by light-average punching 147 pounders can take the power of an 168-175 pound elite level tank who is breaking bones of 168 pounder and KO'ing fighters who would spark Spence out cold lol This content is protected
Josh Taylor doesn't have a chance against Crawford but Twink KOs Taylor, Spence beats Clenelo, Rigo beats Loma
Brook is a big guy and Brook was well prepared for Spence in his hometown Sheffield. Kell was the best Welterweight in the world and EJ ripped the belt from him in his hometown and made him quit. He did not struggle badly. It was a competitive fight and he won in style. That was the final validation for me because my suspicion was right that EJ was a special beast. Nobody has done what he did to Danny Garcia and Mikey Garcia in totally dominating them and shutting them down. As for Porter that was a great fighter against another physical Welterweight who gives everyone hell even a lesser version gave Bud hell while it lasted but Spence’s quality prevailed. My old fashioned view and we don’t have to agree on this is if you make the weight then it’s a fight. I don’t care if a guy is naturally bigger and or smaller. As you know from the boxing schools I come from skills not size wins fights.
Anybody can get hurt even Canelo by Miguel Cotto’s brother. The key to Spence winning is not to get caught like Floyd did not get caught by Canelo simple equation really nothing complicated about it.
You don't even believe your spin. I get you desperately want to believe it but we both know you don't actually believe it and no one else does either
They are never going to fight why would they especially as they are friends. Canelo does not seem that keen to get in there with David Benaivides either. Can’t say I blame him either. I mean would you?
Yes because Spence is a defensive master. Spence has never fought a world class 154, 160, 168 or 175 pounder and he hasn't even fought a legit KO artists at 147. His resume is literally with featherfists, average punchers and decent punchers and he's never fought anyone remotely close to Clenelo's level, let alone one who has unified a division three above his and is knocking out career 168 pounder and 175s world champions
He has fought the best fighters at 147. Spence has shown he can play defence when he wants to. He will fight the guys in higher weight divisions when he moves up for now he handles them in the gym in sparring.
Hell naw! at the thought of sharing a ring with a world class 168 pounder but he beats the far more proven Clenelo No not if I was Spence. But I wouldn't fight Clenelo either if I was him unless I had a death wish
