    dude went the distance with danny garcia. he gassed out towards the end. actually it was danny in the 12th bringing it to spence.

    mikey garcia. threw the kitchen sink at the lightweight and couldn't dent him. spence was fatigued in the last round of that fight.

    ugas - fought a dumbass standing still who had no power.

    this guy who spence fans think will brutalize bud goes the distance with fighters all the time and comes nowhere close to stoppages.

    bud on the other hand doesn't go to the scorecards.

    why do these people think spence is some unstoppable KO machine?

    The answer is obvious, he has a 78% KO ratio, which is a very very good KO ratio for a welterweight.

    Is this ratio due to weak oposition instead of brutalizing power?

    That's another question different from the one asked in this thread.

    Imho Spence can punch. You dont have that percentage if you cant punch, even if your oposition is ****.

    he's not that powerful, he couldn't even stop Mikey garcia who' wasn't a 147er at all and was semi retired.

    He's overrated in general, If he stepped up to 154 Tim Tszyu would give him a beating,, maybe even his mandatory Stanionis would whoop him.

    Crawford will expose Spence,

    I don't see a lot of people saying that. There are some yes. The guy clearly has power as does Terrence but Earl isn't Julian Jackson ...haha. Not by a longshot.
    Terrence's power is also being slightly overrated as well. He is powerful no doubt, but in 6 rounds he didn't actually KO Khan for example and he is chinny AF and has been BRUTALLY stopped dead in several fights.
    This fight is going to be awesome.

    Brook pre-GGG would have handled him

    I've never seen anyone say he's an unstoppable KO machine. This is just a strawman argument to get in some extra licks on Spence.

    Kell sure acted “special” by taking the ggg fight. He’s probably got the best Porter win.

    I don't get the impression many people really think that.

    He's not going past round 6 with Tszyu.

    Tszyu too big, too strong and hits like a hammer.

    And he ain't beating Crawford either.

    Everybody goes the distance with Danny Garcia. The dude can take a great punch, nothing wrong with that. But it's never been 1 punch KO power with Spence that has stopped many of his opponents, it's an accumulation of punches to the head and body which get his opponents into deep trouble. He can punch but he's never been a 1 punch Unstoppable KO machine imo.

    Literally no one has ever called Spence an unstoppable KO machine.

    Lay off the bath salts.
