Spence is an elite dude. Him outboxing Mikey is overrated though. Anyone who ever boxed just a little knows it's not only easier to hurt and break down smaller fighter but also to outbox them. 4 inch reach advantage and 3 and 1/2 inch height advantage on a way bigger guy makes it a lot harder to box. Spence had great physical advantages which he can use too and it's a lot easier to use them against a guy who's in survival mode after a few rounds cause he knows you can hurt him and finish him but he can't do the same to you.

I see the point about Spence's skills are underrated by some but him outboxing Mikey the way he did was also because his size advantages and not simply because he'd be a different league than Mikey skillwise.

I'm cool with that bet...
But I honestly dont know who would win... that's why this is a good fight..
But alot of yall think spence is better than he is...
I remember when ppl thought broner was better than he was...
Even tho I think skill wise, broner is better than spence...
If spence loses, people will treat him just like broner..
Like he never was good

Bro if you wanna think Spence is overrated that's fine, but using Broner as your measuring stick is not a good comparison. Broner was the definition of a weight bully. Soon as he moved up and faced decent comp he got his ass mixed up everytime.

And if I remember correctly you are a GGG fan, and GGG is one of the stiffest most robotic fighters I have ever seen. That is robotic, Spence doesn't look pretty and dance around the ring like a Lomachenko or a Crawford, but that isn't Spence game either though.

Wrong guy bro... lol
Definitely not a ggg fan... that nikka is pretty much trash, and overrated to me..

I dnt think spence is overrated.... people say hes one of the best boxers right now and he is..
I just think yall think hes a world beater...
But I'm the one to throw ice water on that thought.....like yo... this nikka doesn't look like a fluid boxer... and that can get him into trouble.

You're bugging out... GGG might not be the most complete boxer in the history of the sport, but he's basically been the most feared man at 160 for years now. Golovkin is the best W anyone can get at 160. How can you say he's trash?

On Spence, you're going to have to explain what this "fluid boxer" is. Because I don't see many other fighters capable of ripping combinations like Spence. He's a predominantly come forward fighter, that's his game, and he's fluid in it.

Porter is not a better inside fighter than Spence.

Who has he fought bro...

I'm just saying... I've seen this movie before

He knocked out the same man who came to America and took Porter's 0 and belt.:russ:


At this point, the only real blemish on Spence's record is that he didn't stop Mikey. Yet, he still threw over 1000 punches and dominated every minute of every round. That's a tough fighter to beat, and in the moment, only Pacquiao and Crawford are seen as having a shot against Spence @ 47.

Bro do you know how many fighters are hyped to no end and have worse or comparable resumes than Spence? Lomachenko is considered p4p #1 and he has fought a bunch of past their prime fighters or guys who had to move up 2 weight classes to fight him. Crawford's career best win is against Victor fukking Postol bro. Tyson Fury beat an old ass Klitschko and couldn't beat Wilder's non boxing ass. The only fighter GGG beat that was even worth mentioning was Danny Jacobs and even then Jacobs sits in the hall of good to very good but not elite or even great.

None of those fighters have a Kell Brook(except GGG but he was supposed to win that) or Mikey Garcia, or after Saturday, a Shawn Porter on their resume. I get it, you want him to prove himself before you crown him and that's fine I can definitely see the argument there and won't argue against it, but saying who has he fought when a lot of guys on the top 10 p4p list have fought a bunch of bums is just moving the goalpost bro.

I'll even say this as a Spence fan, there are only 2 fighters on the top 10 p4p list who have an unquestionable resume and that is Pacman and Canelo. That is it, everyone else(including Spence) needs to improve they shyt.
