    I honestly don't know why the P4P list causes so much debate. It's just a bit of fun and totally meaningless. People act like it's factual.

    If that can happen to a supposed top five guy then of what value is the list anyway?

    Pound for pound is a meaningless concept and should stop being talked about. It makes zero sense to me. I also seem to notice American fighters getting overrated on people's pound for pound lists. Spence should never have been in anyone's top 5. People have Charlo and Gervonta Davis in their top 10 for some reason.

    I thought he looked as good as ever against Ugas.

    He's always been chinny and his resume is full of career 140s and featherfists and very few punchers his size let alone a genuine puncher or KO artist. I knew this was going to happen when he fought a prime world class legit puncher his size


    The problem with the inactivity excuse (and I'm not alluding to you at all when I say this) is it's used very selectively and I haven't played by my set of rules on here for years. I play by the rules others set and I force them to play by them when I catch them being selective because, as said, they set them.

    Exactly, man.

    ESB is blessed to have some genuine boxing savants from across the pond, but there are plenty of others who flaunt their parochial anti-Americanism as some sort of virtue. But don't trouble yourself: the legacy of American excellence in this sport can withstand their feckless, jingoistic jabs.

    Spence got exposed to a higher level of fighter, Bud's performance was crafty, skilled and he methodically took him apart and revealed himself as a consummate professional fighter and I believe the best in the world.

    Crawford looked amazing but Spence was very robotic and had zero plan b. When the jab was taken away from him he just started winging desperation shots which got countered over and over again.

    You are a moron. Deontay Wilder would batter Vasyl Lomachenko in a fight, that doesn’t change the fact that Loma is far, far, far superior boxer. That’s why we watch boxing with weight classes and not random bar fights.

    Though Usyk and Crawford are more or less same tier fighters when It comes to levels. We just need Fury to find his balls to face a man half his size for it to be proven.

    Yes. Egis did better against him than Spence. Even Avanesyan caused him more problems and had more success. Porter obviously had way more success too and he was coming off double hip replacement surgery.

    Hell, one-legged Benavidez did much much better against Crawford than him too and his leg is completely messed up to the point he really shouldn't be fighting.

    Has any welter done worse against Crawford than Spence? Even the ones who were blown out early might have had more success than him

    One of the dumbest thread titles I’ve ever seen on here. This was mainly a case of a great fighter beating a good one. I actually thought Shawn Porter beat Spence decisively, but of course they gave it to the A-side. So, I was not surprised to see Crawford beat him up. No, it wasn’t exciting in terms of competition, but impressive in terms of Crawford’s skill.

    It's amazing how people have no shame at all while exposing that they are idiots.

    It has always amazed me.

    Go watch curling.

    At least Crawford delivered from his end.

    Your right & that's gotta hurt but not as bad as all of Errol's false promises, catchphrases, ready made merchandise, etc

    Seriously would Errol ever even use "Big Fish", "Grave Digger", "Put him in the Dirt", etc & other cocky nicknames again because Crawford just owned him & took those monikers with him it seems,

    Even in prior h2h interviews he was laughing at Crawford's opponents, saying his IQ is a 3 & rating all his attributes very low, this was a embarrassment of high proportions for the whole PBC Gang on the lines of Wilder getting thrashed three times by Fury,

    If promoters didn't allow ducking, controlling who fights for which belts, rigged judges, hiding PED use & actually be forced to fight who was put in front of their fighters that they so protect then non of these smoke & mirrors exists from the beginning.
