    I think everyone would agree Spence bodies him in 2018 and the 2017 version that faced McGregor too.

    How far back? The Canelo version (2013) or does Pac version of Floyd win? On poll, if you think 2015 (Pacquiao fight) wins, then obviously you'd think younger versions win too. How far back in time is needed, is the question.

    The Mayweather from the Pac fight outboxes him. Spence is overrated.

    Spence would beat the living **** outta the Pacman version of Floyd.

    We'll see what pans out when Spence fights Thurman, and Crawford, but I suspect he's too strong and too relentless for any welterweight version of Floyd.

    Spence from the Brook fight would get toyed by any version of Floyd.
    But Spence from the Peterson fight... different story.

    What Floyd groupies have to remember is that even in his physical prime, Floyd had problems with the strength and aggression of Hatton.

    Spence is a Drained Welter vs Floyd a Super Featherweight

    A 5'11 scaled up Welter Version of Floyd will school Spence

    I think Floyd from Canelo fight would definitely outbox Floyd.

    FlIVd is an absolutely HORRIBLE matchup for Spence. I see spence swinging at air all night and eating the right hand. His feet are far to slow to keep up with cherrypick. I think the fight looks similar to the canelo fight.

    This. Spence makes too many mistakes and doesn't pace himself well. He looked really green against Brook and even almost gassed out until getting his second wind and forcing the stoppage. Spence is also slow. I could see Floyd beating Spence to the punch all day.

    The Berto Floyd outboxes Spence easy. Kell Brooks isn't super slick and his movement gave Spence problem.

    McGregor version absolutely can't; Berto version is at best 50-50. Anything older UD12 Spence.
