    Am I all over the nuts of Potapov, Baranchyk, Salamov, Ponomarev, Petrov, Povetkin, Kucher, Glazkov etc.? Nope.

    I dont recognize half of their names, but if they were even half as talented you would be. Let's be real, I dont know why you dont like Povetkin, but the rest of those guys you mentioned like Ponaduckling, Kucher, and Glaskov are nothing compared to Spence lol, cmon.

    I was too flabbergasted and LAMO from him saying Spence was every bit as good as Usyk, the youngest CW champion in history, and an Olympic Gold Medalist, who already has not one but two guys on his resume who are 3 times the quality level of anyone Spence has on his, to find anything else he said funny.

    Usyk is not the youngest Cruiserweight champion in history, I believe Holyfield is.

    Who are these 2 guys? Please dont say that african guy. Glowacki agree, better win than anything Spence has done.

    Jack ass! I said as impressive, not as good! Like 3G. Very impressive but, not a lot of top notch guys on the resume. Not a whole lot to dislike, just impressive knockouts Understand!!!

    TBH I don't like Postol and Korobov or a few others either, in reality, I'm just a huge Kovalev fan, who happens to like GGG a little and am big on all of Poppa Loamchenko's pupils. Sure there's a few destroyers like Khytrov, Beterbiev and Gassiev that I find entertaining, but at this point shouldn't it be obvious to all of you by now, that my appreciation for the sport is more complex than that of a EE fanboy.

    Not even close to being as impressive, and I don't give a damn about KO's.

    I never said you were an EE fanboy that watches this sport to cheer lead them, but you are a huge EE fanboy, nothing wrong with that. I fanboy american/japanese boxers. I honestly dont understand why you hate Spence so much though. Is it because of the hype? HIs personality?

    Still doesn't change the fact that if Spence was from EE you would make one of those dumb posts saying "A cold wind blows from Chekiznakoavstan" Blah blah blah!

    Both and I don't find him all that skilled, he's a typical come forward fighter only a southpaw version, he's not all that adept at fighting off the backfoot, and we've yet to see anyone present even close to a problem or test for him, because he's yet to fight a tricky fighter who has a modicum of punching power.

    And I'm a fanboy of no one group in particular, my favorite fighters of the last 10 years are Calzaghe, Martinez, Froch, Margarito, Morales etc.

    I didn't say you only fanboy one group in particular,but you definitely fanboy EE fighters. Well if Brook grows a set and Spence beats him will you give him credit? Brook is finding every way to weasel out of that fight though, trtying to fight old ass pac, and shot to **** glass chin Khan LOL. We know he wants NADA to do with Spence. Nada.

    If you're all of a sudden such a huge fanboy of come forward pressure fighters who fight more like Manny than Money, then why all the animosity for EE fighters? You sound like a convert, because if you like Spence, you must see the greatness in GGG right?

    Ok i agree and disagree.
    Spence is levels above devon jus in terms of mental toughness...willingness to let his hands go and just a natrual killer instinct .

    What i do agree with is that hes yet to face an opponent that has the thoughness to withstand his offence while having to go thru any adversity. .. weather thats a testament to his skill level or opponent level remains to be seen. But theres no visible downside to his style at this point.
