Spence looks a bit stiff, not fluid and easy to hit

    I think Brook beats him if he isn't ruined from the GGG fight.

    Yes, Spence has good power, and that will always cause problems for a fighter. I just feel his defense is his glaring weakness. He's not fluid enough with his movement to evade. He isn't slow obviously but his head movement seems stiff.

    I'm not saying hes a bad fighter because evidently he's a top guy in the welters. I'm just not buying into the hype hes a level above Thurman, Porter, and Brook as of yet.

    GGG will ruin Brook....and it will be very hard for him to make 147 again.

    I'm not thinking about Spence Brook...money just isn't there for Brook.


    I expect Khan Brook after GGG rips Brook a new butthole

    Khan seems to think he will fight 3 times in 2017...not sure what he is smoking...Brook Khan May 2017 book it. If it doesn't happen and they are both free then Khan is a duck.

    meh 147 is becoming stale. keeping an eye out for the next batch/gen of fighters right now really and that's all Spence is...Porter probably is the only one who will be willing to face him.

    I completely agree. He's good but he's not perfect either.

    Hearn said they mentioned a catch weight and golovkins team said no. People are being stupid brook isnt an idiot for moving up.. this is the result of not being able to get a big fight at welterweight so hes been forced to take a risk for a big fight and a big payday. Blame the other guys at welterweight that were asking for crazy money to fight him.

    When will Spence fight someone who can fight back, other than 40 year old boxers who can punch a hole in a wet paper bag?

    They asked the same thing about Clay vs A.Moore.....sadly, all the greats become has-beens if they stick around long enough.
