Mr. Spence Jr.

Man, dude looks like he's got some great inside/ short thrown strength for real. Most of those KO's in that video were of the short throw variety. I like it!

Yeah he's a beast and its a joke he's not ranked in the top-10 welterweights. He's been calling out top guys in the division for fights and hasn't been getting replies. I've read he wont even be able to get a title shot in 2016.

Hopefully he can get a top welterweight to fight him for a Mayweather under-card to get more of a following. He's 25 though, so many think he's the future of the Welterweight division. He'd mop Pacquiao across the ring right now.

Sounds like he needs a little more exposure as well.

The #2 ranked pound-for-pound fighter in the world "Chocolatito"(43-0-0 (37 KOs)). One the greatest fighters nobody knows, he's a brilliant technician and one of the best ever at 112 lbs, he's huge at that weight and mastered the art of footwork long ago.. He does infact fight a bit like Mayweather.

I do think if he fought Guillermo Rigondeaux who's a natural 118 at some catch weight, that Rigondeaux would probably whoop him. I'd have Rigondeaux at #2 P4P.

If you want to see why they say the jab is the most important punch in boxing, watch this dude(1:45). Rigo fights are nothing less than master-classes in Cuban style boxing.

Vitali couldn't knock him out. I think it's Wilder that'd get his chin exposed. You did see his last fight, right? Wilder is scared to fight anybody as is his camp.

Yeah I saw the last fight, was underwhelmed especially after how he showed vs Stiverne. He can be caught and looked gassed, still got a nice KO. Povetkin will beat him if he shows like that.

If Wilder hits anyone full force and flush, they're going down and probably out.

I'd have to take Povetkin over Briggs too. The Cannon certainly brings some excitement back to the heavyweight division though its great to see his career on the upswing again. He's in some insane shape for a 43 year old.
 
I hope this 6'11" 290lb Chinese fighter De La Hoya's got signed turns out to be a decent heavyweight. Taishan Dong. He's 5-0 since coming to America in 2014, fighting mostly pizza delivery guys.

PBC Card about to start on CBS for anyone interested.


Jamie McDonnell (No. 5) vs. Tomoki Kameda (No. 6)
12 rounds – Bantamweight division

Anthony Dirrell vs. Marco Antonio Rubio
10 rounds – Super middleweight division

Daiki Kameda vs. Victor Ruiz
10 rounds – Junior bantamweight division
 
Kameda just got blatantly robbed. Damn. Even with the knockdown in the 12th he had that fight.


Dirrell v Rubio probably wont go the distance.
