    Don't say I'm hating on Algieri because I think Spence is the goods. But to be honest Algieri is far from elite. He just fought his first actual high quality fighter with a half decent punch. Pacquiao being the exception, but a blown up featherweight with exactly zero fuqing KO's at the weight.

    -Spence
    -Brook
    -Thurman
    -Porter

    We're looking at maybe 4 fighters in the weight class alone who would be heavy favorite to spark out the Chris.

    And then some guys who I'd give a pretty good shot at sparking Chris.

    -Garcia
    -Vargas

    It's more of a Algieri was never really that good type of thread rather than a Spence hate thread.

    I'm surprised Spence got passed that big, lumpy jab.

    He might even spark Spence. Sammy is a beast.

    Outside of the algeiri fight, Vasquez has been the more impressive of the two. Thurman's critique of Sammy's style was way off in his last fight. Sammy will outbox Thurman rather easy. Thurman is way to wide and wild, plus something it off with his balance
