Spence vs algeri

[Master]

There is a lot of positive talk about Spence. He is talented but I do not see him being a special fighter. What am I missing?

What are you missing? Boxing knowledge maybe?

Oh I think he's pretty special. Real savvy skill set and a southpaw to boot. I hate to compare him to you know who but some of the similarities are uncanny.

His 17th fight coming in at 16 and 0 with 13 knockouts.


Floyds 17th fight coming in at 16 and 0 with 13 knockouts.


I just realized both opponents were even Canadian.

Good fighter but who has he beat that makes him special?

I'm not a fan of answering a ? with a ? but what made people think Floyd was special when he fought Pep or Leonard when he fought Muniz?

Its what he does and how he does it that makes me believe he's a special fighter. I would not be surprised to see Brook duck him.

Most of the time I need to see a guy really step up their competition to say how good they are, but there are few fighters, like Spence, that I can just see how well and effortlessly he fights even against weaker competition.

[Master]

OK I see that. World class fighter with world class moves at an early stage of his career. If he is heading for Brook then that would be a dynamite fight.

He's the mandatory. Thats an incredible fight. Kell has been feasting a little but may have gotten a little to comfortable.

The welter weight division pisses me off like no other. So deep and so stagnant.
