    Saunders has showed he can control the distance with both what i call 'pure boxing' but has also showed terrific movement and footwork.


    Spence is in my top 3 favourites in the sport right now, with Usyk and Loma, but i worry about his footwork in a fight like this.
    He hasn't showed a lot of movement, but that doesn't mean he isn't capable.




    You know what, I want to see it now.....You've intrigued me.
    I see Saunders being a much tougher fight for Spence than someone like Canelo.

    Damn, you've really got me thinking haha.


    You know what, as much as it pains me, Saunders by decision.

    Saunders would use his experiences of Brook in the gym, to beat Brook 2.0.

    Depends what BJS shows up. I think Spence can beat Canelo rather easily but I’m more of a fan of Errol but I’m almost positive Crawdaddy beats him by outboxing him. If crawdaddy can outbox him so can a in shape and well prepared BJS.

    Im a big Spence fan but this is a bit of a stretch for him. Im not saying there is no way he cuts it at Middleweight but hes guna be in with some big strong guys more natural to the weight or even Super Middle, Spence is a strong guy and it is an integral part of his game and it will be diminished, a bit like Hatton when he moved up to 147.

    But then i think Saunders beats him anyway, even if he was good at the weight. Styles makes fights and i fear as exciting as Spence style is it is guna be picked apart by a top level agile tricky slick kind of fighter, thats why id pick Crawford over him and thats why id pick Saunders over him too. Im not saying it would be another Lemmy schooling type performance, i think Spence is alot better than the Canadian, but Saunders would definatly control the fight.

    BJS 2.0 via Gypsy slicking.

    Even a 147lb or 154lb BJS 2.0 would still take him to slick school.

    I might just favour Billy if both were at their best.

    I gotta go with Saunders here. Until I see Spence beat good opposition For at least 3 fights at MW, its gotta be Saunders, who by the way is a very big and good sized middleweight. Spence isn't jumping up one weight class, he's be jumping 2 of them. And to top it off, styles--wise BJS brings a lot of wrong to Spence's table.

    Spence and Loma are my two favorite fighters right now and I'm as close to positive they will at the least be first ballot HOF'ers. Spence is huge for welter, but would be small at MW. And since its a two class jump and he has zero experience there I don't see how he could be favored over one of the top 2-3 talented/gifted fighters in the division and beltholder who also happens to be a pretty massive MW.

    That could all change though depending on how their careers progress from here on out.

    BJS is legit but Spence is just that special, there's nobody I would pick over Spence right now and that includes the mw division
