    He is a very well schooled fighter. I love his defense. His jab is stiff and accurate and well timed. He can throw body punches. He has good power. He has good height. His speed is only decent, but his ring IQ is solid.

    There is a reason Keith Thurman is dodging him. He has too much to lose against a pretty unknown well schooled fighter like Spence Jr.

    There's about 30 fighters I could listed that are as good or better than Spence Jr.

    That seems like an awful lot. How about 5-10?

    What flaws? His speed could use some work, but he's still not slow. His strength on the inside isn't that great either.

    He doesn't do anything exceptionally well. But he does almost everything good.

    I tend to think that you need something that you do better than anyone else, hallmark qualities of a legend. He does everything well so he's already ahead.

    Hard to say who is the most known prospect... I'd wager probably Anthony Joshua.

    Best prospect is a tough one, though. First one to come to mind is Usyk.

    I don't think he's the most talented prospect, he's very talented no doubt but I think there are a couple other guys I rate higher.

    He does have age on his side though, he's not young but most others are in their late 20s now and Errol's only 26 and in many cases further in his career ladder/in a better position. So I can totally see him going on to acheive more so to speak.
