Why you mention probably 3 top 5WW's all-time's and say Spence is not in their level?maybe start comparing to Mosley,Trinidad,De La Hoya etc of the world.even then i say Spence is not that good.but can atleast compare to them skillwise.
NO, I'm just putting it into proper perspective. I always said Brook was overrated so I can't just turn around and say Spence is special because of this win. But if you want to compare them, Spence is already looking like he will have the better legacy of the two. And to those of you who still think Brook is/was a special fighter then Spence must be looking like a god to you.
What's with these attempts at discrediting Spence's win? I get it, you don't like GGG and he fought Brook, so you're trying to take away from that victory. But there is no need to do so to begin with. Beating a guy from two weight classes below is irrelevant. Brook is still an A level guy. Spence got lucky getting him when he did, and he did a spectacular job. Doesn't make Kell any less special.
He was just an over protected fighter. I could label him a "fraud" but he has stepped onto the ring multiple times, so I want to be respectful. I mean, he went life or death with Carson Jones. That's all there is to say about him. What else do we need. His brit fans were irritating. Glad he silenced them. Special K, my ass.. Chocolate Brownie, my ass..
Not sure if that post was directed at me, but if it was, you could not be more wrong. For starters GGG is my favorite fighter and I'm definitely not trying to take anything from Spence's victory.
People talk about spencer as though he's a p4p contender. Well kell was comfortably beating him before the injury so he's probably a bit better than ordinary. All bias aside there was a gulf in glass that was clearly evident in the first 6 rounds.
That means Spence is below average since he was getting out boxed for the first half of the fight by someone who isn’t “special”.
