    Spence and PAC just can connect their shots Better and can cut of the ring

    No one really doubts this, Pac and Spence's power is the speed, force and angles that
    they hit you with. You can't really anticipate or see the shots. As far as thudding power,
    I'd say Provodnikov has it in spades, his problem is he's so slow and telegraphed if you're
    good enough, you can avoid or ride the shots.

    Spence must have scrambled and rearranged his Memory Neurons.

    Oh look a boxer claiming someone he beat punching harder than the other two boxers who beat him. I wouldn't take too much stock to these tales. Look at how many other boxers have claimed the same. They will never admit that the boxer who best them had more positive traits etc.

    Nobias!

    Just odd how eerily similar Algieri and Pedraza's heads looked as the left and right hooks landed, respectively.

    Its believable.

    2017 Spence hits alot harder than current Pac as well.

    Spence is a very big natural strong 147 pounder.

    Ruslan on the other hand his power is just Amazing.

    This is nothing new. Former Pacquiao victims said the same thing. Oscar De La Hoya said the hardest hitter
    he faced was Ike Quartey and Ricky Hatton said Vincent Phillips .

    Perhaps Davis and Spence's power is akin to the skilled Samurai whose swift sword cuts your throat, but you don't feel it until your head falls off your neck.
    Spence has that Zatoichi power!

    I don't, Algieri is probably being 100% honest, Bradley said Ruslan hits like a truck and was clearly affected by his shots more than he was by Pacquiao's, but Ruslan is an incredibly shitty boxer, so its not hard for someone to avoid his shots and counter him off the backfoot all fight long, see Molina match for the best example, Molina can't outbox anyone, Ruslan made him look like Crawford.:lol:

    If Ruslan could have cornered him and landed on him with ease, do you really think Chris would have made it 3 or 4 rounds with him? No he wouldn't. But Spence can cut off a ring immaculately, and Chris couldn't get away from as effectively, so his punches unlike Ruslan's were landing cleanly and were unavoidable, wore him down.

    Teaching Ruslan head movement is about as easy as grabbing a "tiger by the tail".:D
