This. Postol and Gamboa are much better wins than Peterson or Brook. Both Postol and Gamboa were undefeated and also titleholders. I like Spence and think he is a great talent, but Peterson was nothing but a stay busy fight and Brook while being a good win did nothing after beating Porter. I think Crawford's reach and timing would give Spence a lot of problems, but at the same time Crawford's chin is questionable.
Crawford's best and only chance is a slow paced chessmatch. He's NOT winning a high paced, high contact war with Spence.
Spence doesn't exactly come out of the gate trying to take your head off though. He lands hard shots boxing. I see no reason why Crawford couldn't dictate the pace of this fight.
Peterson didn't come anywhere close to beating Diaz, everyone not only had it for Diaz, but wide for Diaz. Diaz beat Peterson clearly by at least a 9-3 margin.
Kell Brook was a heck of a fighter until GGG ruined his eyesocket. I had him beating Spence until Spece re-damaged that eye. Brook became damaged goods after the GGG fight. Peterson didn't have the power to keep Spence off of him. i like Spence too but think fights with Crawford and Thurman would be very interesting.
Crawford has the edge, but they should fight ASAP! Crawford will take an easy fight against a fraud, Horn.............
Spence is the NEW Margarito of the division. He's more skilled than Margo, but he uses his size, strength and stamina to overwhelm opponents.
Yep, but I think the only notable guy he could beat north of 147 is Lara. I think he could walk this older version of Lara down and stop him, but it would be a hard fight. If you threw him in with Canelo, GGG, Jacobs, or Saunders, I think he gets worked.
