Man, I see a lot of Sugar Ray Leonard in Errol Spence. Lots of parallels.

    Great crisp movement, and once this man has you hurt, he's relentless.

    The man is throwing tons of punches to get you the hell out of there. I ain't seen a man like that in a while.

    The BOLO punches as well, he definitely watches a lot of Sugar Ray Leonard. The entertainer as well.

    Lots of parallels.

    Spence is a very rare talent and the only ww that could beat fmj in his prime by decision...

    Fmj's prime being 140 is the deciding factor for me picking spence over him h2h, if fmj was peaked at ww like spence it's a pickem.

    Spence vs ggg is possible in a couple short years

    We'll see how far steroids gets Spence. I don't see him and his puffy steroids nips getting by Algieri, though. Hopefully Spence quits draining himself for a size advantage and goes up to 160 to meet his maker in Golovkin. Golovkin KOs and retires him on his 24th pro fight.

    If you're confident and serious I'll give you ridiculous odds

    Hell no. It's an Al Gaymon event, so we already know if it goes to the cards, Algieri won't get the decision.

    Algieri is a big step up for him, ESJ will probably win, but not without problems. Could take some of the shine off for now.

    That said though, I was shocked to discover he only took up boxing aged 15! National champ 4 years later. His talent is real for sure.

    Pretty delusional in my opinion. Chocolatito is the closest thing to SRL we have right now and he's a much better finisher than Spence with much better footwork and much more accurate punching. Don't expect you to make thread praising him though.

    That all depends on your definition of problems are. Dominating every second with a mid round stoppage is what I expect.

    Anything less and spence fought horribly, the talent gap is just too large to see otherwise.

    Every champion in the history had a fight that was viewed as a "large step up" this is a bigger step up for algeri for me. Algeri has never fought anyone close to spence level.

    The power and talent will shock him and he's going to sleep again. Major beatdown. Spence has a better chance at killing algieri than algieri does making it to the final bell

    Bold sequence of statements. Can't agree but that's some admirable conviction.
    He does look good, but a little suspect defensively to me. Not a lot of head movement. Maybe he's just not being showing it because he's had no need to, despite upping his competition to an extent last year.
    I will be surprised if Algieri doesn't win some rounds.

    Spence is a fantastic talent, but he's incredibly robotic and mechanical compared to the legend that was Sugar Ray Leonard.
