    I'm assuming I am the person you are allegedly "educating".

    OK then "educate" me on why Kell Brook is such a great win.

    Let the "educating" begin.

    This thread was never about how valid Spence's opinion is although it morphed into different trains of thought. If was actually about who has Spence beat relative to Loma and my answer was " everybody that was put in front of him". Then some knuckle heads decided that they needed to invest their limited knowledge in my conversation and here we are.

    I bet that Loma beats Spence like Pac beat De La Hoya. There is levels to the game and Spence is too basic to beat Loma. He has a puncher's chance at best.

    My point is that Spence's win over Brook is a much better win than all of Loma's wins. I say this because Brook's win over Porter solidified him as a valid champ. Also, Brook is large for 147, a well known fact. Brook's resume, with Porter is in fact, better than Loma's resume. Prior to GGG, Brook was unbeaten.... Loma was not.

    Walters was inactive before his fight with Loma, another fact. Rigo was moving up in weight, smaller than Loma and was also inactive. Not to say that Walters and Rigo aren't good, but the circumstances around those matches was simply a very good job of match-making. If you know anything about boxing, you'll know that inactivity is really tough on the vast majority of fighters.

    Bottom line, Loma is a very talented fighter, but we have to see more from him. 12 fights ain't enough, PERIOD. So, claiming he's some world-beater is well overblown.

    Based on his lose to Salido, I very much disagree with you. Spence is far bigger and Loma appears open to such roughhouse, smothering tactics. To also add, he can't hurt Spence, at least not yet. He hasn't shown the punching power to deter Spence from wrecking his body. If you can't keep a fighter off of you, you don't stand a chance, and I don't see how Loma keeps Spence off of him.

    So we need to see more from Lomachenko to prove he's a world beater but Brook beating Porter of all people makes him a valid champion?

    Have you heard yourself?

    Lomachenko beating GRJ is better than ANYTHING Brook has done.

    Lomachenko is the most skilled fighter fighting today, by far..............Spence won't fight Porter, Crawford, and wants to fight Thurman while Thurman has an injury, BEFORE it heals! Beating Brooks after Golovkin nearly killed him means nothing.
