    Spence is probably too big for Pernell.

    Flip side, Pernell may be too slick for Spence.

    I actually think Spence has a good style to beat Whitaker. That, plus his size, I favor him.

    Spence has a nice size advantage but the peak 147 version of Whitaker was superb, close decision for him. Spence is still brilliant and can cause plenty of problems for him. Great fight though.

    Hurtado was 5'11 and still got knocked out.

    Whitaker wins a UD, he was simply the better fighter, Spence has never fought anyone as good as Whitaker and in all honesty probably never will regardless of who he fights.

    That’s true. I always have somewhat of a hard time trying to predict how Spence does versus past fighters. I just can’t really decide how good he is.

    Shutout from sweet pea. I'm sorry but Pernell would not have dropped nearly as much rounds to Shawn Porter like Spence did
