    Okay fair enough if you thought it was 50-50 I misquoted you.

    Spences defence aint the best but that tends to be the case with most pressure fighters ala GGG, Gonzalez etc. Spences defence is adequate because he knows his offence is destructive.

    There was a thread of peoples Top 10 P4P list, Spence was named in a few posts i just dont get what hes done to merit a place in their top 10s is what i was saying, Brook is his best win, 1 world title fight, Thurman is the only one who makes it from the 147lb division. As for not being able to get a fight against these top guys. Kell Brook was in that position for a while, Eddie Hearn was trying to get all these big names, but Brook stayed active and defended against average fighters till he got his big fights.

    Spence should just focus on defending his belt a few times instead of rushing into these unification fights. Stay active till your chance comes is what i say.

    I would put Thurman above Spence off the resume, the only way I would pick Spence is if it's off the eye test. I don't think anyone could pick Spence over Thurman on resume alone but after Thurman, Spence has the best resume.

    Brook fought absolute no one at welterweight except Porter for the belt and Spence as a mandatory, he never took any tough voluntary nor did he really push for a unification and even backed out of the Vargas deal because of money.

    I'm happy with what Spence is tryna do, he is tryna be the number 1 guy and if he thinks he is ready for the fight then who am I to say no.

    Why you making excuses for Kell Brook? He has nothing to be defended for. He fought a good fight but he lost and that's the bottom line. He was in good shape and he wasn't weight drained.

    Yeah he wasn't and Spence broke the other orbital bone so I don't wanna hear the excuse about GGG beating.

    Manfred's response

    On a Mikey Garcia invites Gamboa to come get sum thread from 2013

    One poster said

    ''Mikey Garcia will get his toughest test's at north of 130, he is young... just 25 and can still fil in and has the power to move up.. he is gonna be the closest thing possible to a JMM reincarnation for me

    He won't get truly tested till he takes on bigger guys, his skills and power at 126 is to much for anyone to handle right now at 126''

    Manfred replied to it with this

    On a Whose next for Mikey thread from 2013
