    Spence by knockout. Robinson was a poor man's Alfonso Gomez.

    SRR is the more proven fighter for me. I don't think Spence would be able to beat some of the guys SRR beat and I think the later's resume is stronger overall too.

    Spence gets savagely underrated by so many people. **Not saying he beats SRR, but not diagnosing someone with Downe's syndrome for picking Spence either**

    GGG fans get wicked butthurt when they feel he gets shorted on his props. Spence has that same type of talent and skill that is nuanced and does the little things well that many don't see or bother looking for. I don't really believe he'd beat SRR but he isn't gonna get rolled either, SRR would know he's in a real dog fight.

    Robinson dismantles Spence. How is this even a debate. I have yet to hear a good argument that favors otherwise

    Same day weigh in, Robinson crushes whatever deflated husk of Spence is able to make 147 without the extra day to put back on weight.

    Robinson with another day to make weight who knows, maybe he's fighting at 135.

    I personally don’t think Garcia has better fundamentals. Garcia has very good fundamentals it’s just Spence are better and he proved it when they fought.

    SRR was taller than Spence and had the same 72 inch reach. SRR moved all the way to 175. Not a small welter. So, your theory that he out muscles Robinson is wrong, especially if they fought today, with day before weigh ins.
    I'll ask the same question I always ask with threads like this. Who has Spence beat that makes you believe he whoops Robinson?

    I think we should wait until we see his fights with Terence Crawford and perhaps Canelo as this will determine his ATG credentials and this type of match ups.
