No. He's overrated. His head movement leaves a lot to be desired. Against a slicker, better mover with decent power he gets hurt and possibly stopped. He's slow to evade in exchanges which often leaves him get hit by punches he should not be hit by. Brook is the better boxer. Who is slicker with better head movement and defense all around. I will concede that Spence has more ''upside'' given that hes 26 years old and can work on the flaws in his game. You can get away with flaws against weaker opposition with no power like Bundu.
Brook rips Spence to pieces and stops him in 5, its amazing to me just how dense some posters are, Spence CANNOT KO Brook, that should be abundantly clear to most logical people after yesterday. And Spence isn't on Brook's level skillwise, footwork, speed, defense edge all go to Kell, Spence doesn't cut the ring off as well as GGG and certainly doesn't bring the pressure of GGG, add to that he was cautious against a featherfist like Bundu, so if anyone thinks he'll come in as an offensive machine against Special K they're deluding themselves.
I like both guys and if Special K goes back to 147 I can see him winning against Spence. Spence is a solid guy and Special K is unbeaten and also untested at 147 but I will still give him the edge on Spence. Not an easy fight for either guy
Yes, because of the ATG wins Spence has had in his career<rolls eyes> If anyone is overrated it's Spence Jr by a mile. Kids fought NOBODY.
CST80, you are a boxing expert, but, evidently don't like two fighters : Joshua and Spence. I would like to know a reason.
Spence wouldn't last 2 rounds with ggg, brook beats spence. Points. Best for spence if brook vacates as if they do fight its 75-25 money wise.
I don't know anything about "labs"....But, frankly, doubt that you know more about that.... Spence has very, very decent skillset and excellent power pfp...Joshua is a little bit stiff, and he should be more mobile, but has a lethal punch power. I expect he will destroy Pulev and Parker.....
Let's talk hypothetically for a minute. Hearn has said kell is out till spring 2017. So let's just imagine kell doesn't vacate next week. Who does Spence fight before then.
