    No question about it. His power comes from a higher source.

    I haven't seen much of Spence at all in the pros but a lot of people are raving about him. I rate Brook and Kavaliauskas looks really promising too.

    No, he's shown a fair few flaws against Guerrero and Bundu, he still has a long way to go. Brook for me is flat footed and a very basic boxer, nothing special to take the sport by storm. Its going to be Khan if he carries on improving at the dramatic rate he is under Virgil Hunter and Errol Spence jnr is a very special talent also.

    Thurman is good, but nothing special.

    Yes in 2 years I believe he will be the best 147lbs fighter if he is still in the division. If I am wrong I am wrong.

    I've voted yes but to be fair to myself I haven't seen hardly anything of Spence really. Brook looks the goods too. That said, I'm not totally sold on either his or Thurman's chins yet.

    Kavaliauskas looks really strong and powerful and he's pretty fast too. He really impressed me in his last fight against that dude who beat Mike Jones.

    Zweski seems talented but there's something about that boyish face of his that gives off warning signals to me that maybe he might not be quite so good at taking what he dishes out. He looks like he should be riding on a skateboard or a BMX instead of plying his trade in a boxing ring, although obviously you can't really judge a book by its cover.

    Thurman is already getting cut frequently which scares me about him....to early in his career for a guy with his skills to get cut every fight....
