    Everyone saying he is nxt ATG

    Hold up a min

    I reserve judgement until they beat a top5 in their division

    Stopping Algeri was good, but at this point Algeri is just a gatekeeper

    I remember when Berto, even Panchito Bojado were hyped as next big things but when they stepped up... EXPOSED

    Spence looks like the goods, but he has to pass the test first. 147 is stacked so lets see. The other top 147s are skilled, proven guys

    For all we know Spence could have a weak chin, you just dont know until they fight the best...

    Why GGG has beat no one and he is Hagler level on ESB/BN24. Spence is the new Micheal Nunn.

    You have to take into account his amateur career, and his sparring legends as well. Yea, it's just sparring, but There's something to giving pros like Mayweather and Broner all they can handle.

    I love that he called out Kell Brook. And that he can intelligently evaluate success in his performance in the post fight interview. And he hasn't signed to TMT.

    Sky is the limit for Spence. All gas no brakes

    So you can take amateur career in the case of Spence, but not in Golovkin's case. No, we can't mention Golovkin's more successful amateur career.

    OP has a point, but I think the main point people are trying to make is: "Resume be damned... Spence is passing the eye test. Big time."

    Looks like the goods to me. Been saying this for a long time. Algieri's destruction was no surprise to me.

    Ggg and Spence are good talents but neither has fought a great fighter

    Who is "everyone"?
    People are excited that we have a new name in the division, thats all. Spence stepped up and looked impressive, and so he is deserving of some hype.

    Hi markq :hi:

    I see since Pacquiao retired you have decided to swing from GGG's nuts instead.

    Your mother must be so proud to have raised such a racist wee w@nker. :bart:dead

    Algeri got a severe BEATDOWN! You say it like it was no big deal, well the way Errol did it, it was. Watch the fight again. Everyone knows how tough Chris is, certainly not an elite boxer, but super tough. Spence tore it up.
    Like I said, watch it again. Spence is the real deal. Amazing footwork, excellent vision, knows how to leverage his punches and has a good finishing instinct to top it off.
    Run Kell run!
