    Yeah you do have a pattern of ignoring my posts, especially the ones where I quote you, utterly destroy you and leave you a slumped on the ground used, pounded and abused gaping slobbering gelatinous mess.:aaaaa:

    When one side goes it weakens the other side apparently !

    I agree with CST80 too, but I think he stops Spence at 160. The counters he was catching GGG with would ruin Spence eventually !

    Canelo is a bad stylistic matchup for Spence and is obviously too big as well. Mismatch.

    Spence is a much bigger 147lber than Canelo is 154lber. Taller and rangier too.

    Canelo is the bigger man but nothing to write home about.

    Spence is more athletic too which would cancel out Canelos size advantage.

    Would end up being skill vs skill and Spence is just better imo.

    I agree he didn’t look particularly impressive against Brook. I definitely think he’s overhyped.

    Wasn't impressed with Spence against Brook if i'm honest.

    Being built up as the 'next big thing' in boxing, i just expected more.

    I don't think he would have beaten pre-GGG Brook in all honesty.

    Brook looked slow as hell, and he still caught Spence at times.

    Heal? Spence broke the other orbital, not the one G smashed! Spence beats Brook before or after G, that I'm sure of.

    When your told you are lucky not too be blind in one eye and the same thing starts happening in the very next fight with the other eye... that is some mental disturbance right there.

    If the GGG fight had never of happened Brook would not of been mentally distracted throughout the fight by the thought of going blind.

    I think I had Brook 1 or 2 points down too Spence going into the 11th. There is most certainly a case that pre GGG Brook could of taken a decision against Spence very easily

    No. He really wouldnt. The fight would look similar to GGG/Brook where just gets overpowered and ko`d. Problably not as competitive either.

    He would get knocked out by Canelo.
