Spence is now known as the best boxer in the world, a point that was hammered home relentlessly Saturday night as remained undefeated and retained his IBF World Welterweight title before 47,525 at AT&T Stadium, including Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, quarterback Dak Prescott and linebacker Jaylon Smith

In addition to Mayweather and Pacquaio, there was also who’s who boxing at ringside — Evander Holyfield, Lennox Lewis, Roberto Duran, Deontay Wilder, Shawn Porter and Adrien Broner — in what proved to a great showcase for boxing in North Texas.
