    Hell no Spence is too much for Thurman and will get stopped if he ever gets into the ring with Spence.

    You also thought Wilders last 5 opponents would beat him. In other words you are wrong as usual.

    Thurman is good. Spence is better.

    Ummm no... Not too sure about that even though i think Thurman is more loose and smooth with his work. Better head movement.

    I do though think he'd get ''bodied'' by a sharp, digging body shot from Spence. I don't think however Spence is a level above him.

    Spence has more upside i feel. I think he can sort of get away with the stiff head movement to a degree due to his punching power.

    I don't think he beats Special K, though.

    One of my gripes about Spence is his accuracy. He tends to miss a lot and even his jab against Bundu was high af. He fights well but it's obvious he's a work in progress. The fight is more competitive today than it would be tomorrow, imo.

    Spence wins.

    Porter borderline mauled Thurman inside, what you think spence will do? Thurman has no jab to keep spence out.

    Agree, Keith is too slippery for Spence to land clean consistently enough to do damage, and Thurman's power will give Spence pause, he wasn't aggressive in walking Bundu because he didn't want to walk into anything, he definitely wouldn't be eager to walk into something from Thurman. Porter and Guerrero have extraordinary chins, and they took some hair-raising shots, I doubt Spence does or would be willing to take the same risks.

    Brook is massive he would man handle spence and use his jab to frustrate him

    Brook would school spence

    Porter would maul Spence on the inside too.:deal

    Thurman clearly has a jab and a good one, what do you think he kept Guerrero and Bundu at bay with all night.

    And Spence fights nothing like Porter.

    Hell no. Broner put Porter down with a shot. Spence would hit Porter with something big early and take him out of his gameplan. He's not going to be able to bully a guy like Spence on the inside who's too strong and far more complete. Porter tends to smother his own work on the inside and fights dumb at times. I honestly see him getting stopped against Spence from accumulation.

    Thurman's jab is average at best. He can't take it to the body. Spence is one of the best body puncher's in the game he will body Thurman if they ever fight just watch. Thurman isn't built for what Spence will bring to him. He's a horrible styles match up for him.

    Brook-Spence is a pick em fight. He's the hardest fight out there for Spence at 147 and vice versa. I rate Brook high at 147 he's a quality operator.

    Nah, the Broner KD was more flash that anything, even Bundu said Thurman hits harder than Spence, Porter may smother his own work, but he'd also smother Errol's work as well, he'd be in his face all night, not allowing him to set up his shots and get them off enough to win on accumulation.

    Maybe Thurman doesn't have the best jab, but its good enough to keep most guys honest, and more importantly slow Spence down and take him out of his gameplan.
