    Lubin is pretty good. We'll see how far he goes.

    Him and Spence have an opponent in common actually in Noe Bolanos. Lubin went the 8 round distance and Spence stopped him in 2 rounds

    Lubin is almost 6 years younger than Spence mate did you not factor that in

    Lubin fought him aged 18

    Spence fought him aged 3 months away from being 25:good

    Lubin look too wild. He need to work on defense to go far.

    another hype job

    average speed, average power, average footwork, average workrate, average accuracy, got destroyed in the amateurs at a national level. At least GRJ had sick handspeed. The kid sucks

    So because he hasn't fought for a title, that means he has average speed and workrate?

    You guys should actually watch him fight before talking ****

    i have watched him, the best comp he has fought so far was in the olympics and the likes of Sapiyev could time him easily

    so far in the pro his fought cans and its easy to look fast and good against cans

    Lubin has proven more imo

    Lubin hasn't proven more wtf? Lubin hasn't beaten an awkward, undefeated southpaw in Emmanuel Lartey.

    He also didn't fight a 10 rounder against the previously never stopped Ronald Cruz who had a controversial loss to Kermit Cinton and close fight with Atwone Smith. Spence dominated him and landed 335 punches on him in a 10 round fight while only being hit 71 times.

    Don't need to fight for a title to prove yourself, how about fighting fellow hopefuls, former champions, world ranked foes?

    he did beat Yasniel Toledo at barely 17 years of age, a better win than Spence could muster in his whole amateur career, FYI Toledo is one the best amateur boxers around today



    Lubin is also barely behinf Spence in terms of competition even though he is almost 6 years younger, thats how his more proven

    punch state against handpicked bums means sweet **** all mate

    Impressed with Crawford by far. He's great for American boxing and just boxing overall. Almost like a young Mayweather. Spence should follow Crawford's lead.

    what does it have to do with him having average speed, balance, etc? Does Felix Verdejo have average speed until he steps up?

    Amateurs and the pros aren't the same. You're putting too much weight on them. Lubin has more of an amateur style than Spence.

    beating top class amateurs is still more of an acheivment than beating homeless bums (spences speciality) especially when them amateurs are Toledo and Lubin is 17

    and you judge that on what? Spences proficiency in beating up bums in a marginally better fashion than Lubin, a guy 6 years younger?:lol:
