Is Spence the new Berto, maybe the next Kirkland?

    This man's chin hasn't been tested and alot of people are acting like he's the second coming of SRR.
    Some casuals think he can even beat GGG!LOL
    Let's see him fight someone who can hit at a world class level before he is anointed as the next great WW.

    That small head makes me think he is hiding some serious China in his chin.

    Discuss...

    Spence is the real deal, he passes the eye test.

    One of the dumbest threads ever.

    Berto and Kirkland had EXTREMELY glaring flaws that were apparent even as they were coming up the ranks. They were both dropped and nearly KO'd by bums coming up the ranks, and it was clear neither had any defense or chin.

    If you can't see the difference in skill/ability between Spence and Berto/Kirkland, then you obviously know nada about the sport.

    Spence has yet to lose a round in his career.

    No he lost the 8th round against Lartey since he was doing every thing in his power to not engage since he was almost dropped at the end of the previous round.

    They were both hyped up like Spence is right now. Spence hasn't faced a puncher yet. Ko'ing Chris looks good on paper. But there was no way Chris was going to test his chin. When he faces a puncher, we'll talk..
    And by the way, dumbest thread? Really?? What about the recent threads about Spence KO'ing GGG and Pac? Now those are dumb threads.

    He did pass the eye test, but so did Berto when he was coming up.

    This thread isn't about GGG. But his chin has been tested. He's fought punchers like Stevens and Lemieux.

    I have a very hard time believing 90% of the posts on here, and i believe it's impossible to not immediately see the gap in talent between those 3 mentioned
