Nearly every fighter, even the great ones, had an area that is sub par.
Amir got no chin
manny can't cut off a ring
Floyd had glass hands
etc
a more consistent jab to set up combos would help
Other than that, the kid is the good

I have a feeling I mite have problems with good movers.
Its hard to say until we see him in with guys strong as him and throw body shots too. Untill then he gonna seem like the second coming of Christ

At the time 147 doesnt have anyone like say Lara who has that good combo of movement and pop. thats the style I see troubling Spence. A outboxer with a good jab.
Algieri has no power, doesnt really utilize his footwork to control an opponent as much as it is a means of defense for him.
Someone like Andrade would be his undoing but outside of Thurman and bradley most the welters today arent movers
