    I didn't say he couldn't fight. I'm saying his skill level is not high.

    No, but they sure are one hell of a pair of constellation prizes, that's for sure!

    Says the guy who think a massive come forward fighter who drains down, with zero head movement and two punches is immaculately skilled. Maybe I'll have to write an article about the underrated brilliance of Keith Thurman, I'm making a note of it in fact.

    You're missing the point.

    If two guys weight drain, one for 14 years and one for 6 years......The older guys body is always going to be weaker.

    Both Porter and Garcia are very limited fighters. Spence would have done what Thurman did not, and dominated both of them.

    Spence is good and he can fight. Great body attack.

    Danny ''Lego Hair'' Garcia is garbage and a straight up bum. He's also an absolutely terrible human being as well.

    One Time is the greatest 147 pounder since SRL.

    Crawhype is straight up garbage, I'm sorry but he simply cannot fight.

    Spence doesnt have a lot of 'boxing skill'.

    He isnt a technician.

    He's a power puncher, with solid speed and a great engine though.


    In a lot of ways, he's the opposite of Floyd.

    To be a highly skilled FIGHTER, you have to possess a certain set of skills, and Thurman has those skills

    I'd suggest you learn something about boxing first. Keith Thurman and brilliance don't belong in the same sentence. Unless you consider Garcia and Porter brilliant as well, because Thurman scraped by both.

    It's you're* gay.:thumbsup:

    And I'm not the one having an uptight projection/transference laden latent homophobic reaction at a comment that I wasn't even consciously posting as anything close to a gay slur.:gey:

    May be a fight we get late in the year since Jeffrey will be eager to get a chance at some more hardware after Bud relieves him of his. :D

    First Joshua, now Spence. What is it about astonishing physical specimens mowing down their competition with a measured but relentless assault that you don't like?
    I'll grant you AJ seems fake and a bit unlikeable generally but what's your excuse for Spence - he is the least offensive person in the world! Plus - he's the heir to GGG's 'badass with a smile' throne!
