Let Porter go somewhere else and build up his lil name.
He let that fa/g Kel Brook massage his title way from him

Like I said, I think Spence will be the man ONE DAY, didnt say he was the man TODAY...big difference. This is the first thread I made about the guy in God knows how long. I could see if I was hyping the kid up daily.
when spence vs Thurman happens it'll be awesome. I like thurman too, but when he has to be the boxer, he looks uncomfortable and wastes a lot of energy...he needs to estalish a jab
Spence has never had to go through that kind of fight as his Comp. level has been so bad.
For what ive seen so far youd have to make Thurman the favorite to win. Maybe Spence can beat Thurman but going by his competition you have to go with Thurman. Spence to me seems a little to slow off the blocks when he punches which i believe Thurman can expoit.

Resumes don't throw punches and win fights...the fighters themselves do the winning.
Spence's weak resume didn't help Bundu off the floor last night.

Im sure Spence blitzes whoever he'll fight for the vacant title
thats Leaves WBO Vargas WBC Danny Garcia and WBA Keith Thurman
at this point I think he'd beat all three
I try not to get ahead myself with young fighters but this kid is the truth. Works hard, has the right attitude and has a nice blend of speed, power, poise and aggression,
Thurman doesnt like it to the body and he is the type of fighter to out jab you, he often wastes a lot of energy moving his legs but not his hands
DSG is the sleeper in the division, always finds a way to win but I dont see how he deals with SPence unless he tries to outbox him in spots and time him coming in
Vargas is straight up and down, pretty basic but solid fighter. Spence beats this kid
I think Porter would make a great opponent for him if he cant get a title shot next.

A guy like Porter is a huge jump up in class. Spence might win maybe even stop Porter but is it worth the risk at this stage?
Fighters need time to develop & mature. Spence is young, there is no rush.
Lets say he fights Porter and is found wanting then what next? People can say back to the drawing board but boxing fans are unforgiving. Nobody will give two ****s for the kid if he lost.
He'll be forgotten and they will jump onto the next American WW like they have Sadam Ali and a whole heap of others.

Spence is really good. Promising. But I can't shake the image of Emmanuel Lartey rocking him bad when they fought a couple years back. And he still has very bad defensive habits. I'd hold off on sending his bust to Canastota.

Right now he's overpowering fighters, and you can't always rely on that against better fighters.
