    Spence is one of those special talents that gets a lot of hate and I don't understand why. There are certain fighters who are just so damn talented that even if you dislike their fans, you can enjoy their styles. Wilder, Inoue, Loma, Usyk, Canelo, Mikey Garcia, Crawford, just to name some.

    i think people have a hard time separating personal feelings when making fighter analysis'. i catch myself doing it and i take active interest in avoiding that... but still happens. but yeah, as far as putting on entertainment, if you dont like to watch spence, the problem lies within you as a fan.

    I think people who hate on Spence love to watch him. I can't take you seriously as a boxing fan if you can't enjoy watching any of those guys fight. I understand if you hate Bhop's style or Abril's style or Klitschko's style, but those guys are far from boring.

    Spence is an all action dude and that's rare among American fighters. Love watching him fight, but the only criticism is that he's not fought anyone.

    i have to disagree, i hate the style of fighters you mentioned and if i ever watched them is because i was interested in the fight based on significance or i liked to watch the other fighter. i understand their skill and the reasons they have many legit fans, they just dont cut it in the competition for my leisure time.

    I meant the guys I listed in my OP are far from boring. Not Wlad, Bhop, and Abril lol.

    I don't think he's as good as some make him out to be but he is entertaining to watch, good fundamentals, dynamic punching style and is the aggressor, what's not to like.

    It's hard to say. Danny hasn't looked good against Sulecki or Arias. I think he edges it in a close fight. So my official pick is Danny MD or SD. That being said Sergei is hungry. The guy is clearly a fantastic talent but hasn't got paid. I definitely think Sergei has a bigger chip on his shoulder. I wouldn't be shocked if he stopped Danny. I can't wait for this fight though.

    He's being avoided.

    I've been hoping some of the overrated welterweights like Thurman and Danny Garcia would man up and fight Spence. He could clean out the division if they were willing to fight him.
