    If they were the same size it would have been a brilliant fight, what GGG vs Canelo 1 should have been. GGG was hesitant to throw body shots and power shots in general in the 1st fight. Spence would throw more. At 160 Canelo wins.

    Too soon for Spence, although he does have a frame for 160.

    Canelo vs Hurd is a better fight right now.

    In a word: Canelo. Bigger and the style matchup favours him as well IMO.

    Canelo is a more versatile fighter and technically much more efficient both offensively and defensively.

    If they where the same size he'd still win.....nice try at trolling though:hang

    Spence is too small!

    Said it before, I'll say it again. Met him in Vegas expo and he's not very big at all. Probably walks around at 165 lbs with a bit of fat.

    This could be a super fight in 2020 if Spence ups his profile.

    This. Spence has potential, but he doesn't have GGG's chin or experience. GGG's jab neutralized a lot of Canelo's counter punching, which is more than enough to end a lot of guys at 154 or 160. Spence being a southpaw would be very vulnerable to counter rights from Canelo.

    Canelo would only have to win at least 4-5 rounds to win the fight. lol

    But it wouldn't go the distance, Spence would get stopped.

    I think its a good fight, I think Spence holds his own in there. But I of course expect Canelo to be too big to handle.

    Canelo 9 rounds to 3.

    Canelo makes 160 drained and ripped. Canelo probably walks around at 180, or 175 if he's in shape.

    Um, Spence himself has said that he walks around at 170+.

    I doubt it very much. I've met him, he was the same size as me back then when I was 158~ lbs. There's no way he was over 170. 163-165 MAX. He's not stocky at all. Shawn Porter on the other hand is huge (for his height) and he's either roiding or he has god like genetics.
