    Which will be more effective in beating Spence?

    Can you imagine Transitioning from fighting Mikey Garcia to Bonefide Welterweight FullBack Porter?

    Obviously maul. Porter has no chance though because Errol is physically stronger than him, but maybe he can open a cut up and force a stoppage or change the course of the fight. If he boxes, he has literally 0% chance.

    Maul is the only chance and hes got only about 10% of victory with that. Spence is stronger, faster, bigger, better all round.

    Spence can easily implement the gameplan Brook did. Nothing Porter can do.

    He's not a very good boxer, his strength was always his strength. Spence eats him from the outside, but the sad thing for Porter is that his inside game isn't good enough as Spence is stronger on the inside and at pushing opponents backwards.

    Spence dominates him, hell he may be the first person to stop him.

    Porter can get up on his toes, and he will still get outboxed by Spence. Spence is no Usyk. :D

    Whatever Porter does Spence is going to nail him.

    Although porter gets a bit of stick for lack of skill, I bet he’s absolute hell to fight

    You think Porter is past his prime??
    It's hard to run at 5 Am wearing silk pajamas. Maybe Porter's commentating gig has took motivation from him. Porter went to college for sports Broadcasting, seems he has one foot out the door

    Of course he is, even though Spence is going to dominate Porter, he's still going to have to deal with Porter lunging in with his head and rabbit punching.

    As if he could do any other thing than mauling.

    Should porter maul spencer, or create a new quantum theory that unifies the 4 forces of the nature?

    MMmmm, I dont know, maybe he should maul. Don't you think?

    Porter is so aggressive that he could present problems for Spence. He is going to be draped on Spence the whole fight unless Spence can effectively step back and connect on Porter. Unfortunately, I think the greatest likelihood for this fight to play out is Porter clings to Spence the whole fight, doesn't let him breathe, grabs, holds, headbutts, elbows, etc. whatever it takes to stay in the fight. The only way this becomes an entertaining fight is if Spence can free himself of Porter and nail him. No easy task.
