Spence has never been dropped in his pro career, all that people do is point out this shot against Lartey which he took well and shook off quickly. He took some good shots against Barrera so is it really a suspect jaw or just occasional defensive mistakes? To me Spence has proven he has a GOOD chin.
Brook has been knocked down but this rarely gets pointed out by the same people who talk about Errol's chin and he got visibly wobbled against Shenchenko.
Not saying Brook has a bad chin at all but if it was Spence dropped early in his career and wobbled vs Senchenko then those suspect chin accusations at 147 would make more sense.
Maybe slightly exaggerated :lol1:
Brook wobbled more against Senchenko. Albeit Senchenko hits harder than that fella but still not a puncher.
Your point stands though. There has to be a question mark there for the time being just like there was for Brook when he was wobbled.
I don't agree he was less hurt. The round ended immediately after, so hard to see. but he definitely got hurt. Malignaggi said he was visibly shook in the corner.
Nevertheless, the point as you say is that there's evidence enough to be raised questions, just like there was for Brook. It doesn't mean that Spence definitely has a bad chin, just that we've seen enough to ask questions.
Didn't wobble or shake. :lol1: So I guess the little dance he made was for fun.

And it proves you wrong. He gets cracked good, legs don't wobble or shake, and he clinched. You're making it more than what it is but who cares, these questions will be answered in 2 weeks
But he did shake :lol1: how can you deny that?
He got cracked good by a guy with 1/10th of the technique or power of Brook. That's enough to raise question marks.
Does it mean anything? Perhaps. Perhaps not. Well only see when/if it happens again.

Before the fight...
"Spence has no chance"
"Brook beats him easy"
After the fight - Spence wins...
"Yeah but GGG softened Brook up doe"
After the fight - Brook wins...
"See, told you Spence was overrated!"
Sux, but that's the way it is. Everyone's a critic

I just posted the video. didn't exaggerate anything.

You are COMPLETELY over exaggerating that Lartei shot and I would know I just watched that fight 2 days ago. It was a solid shot but he wasn't wobbled or his legs not under him in any way. It was just a good solid clean shot. Just don't run after the fight bro, stay here and take your licks like the man that I know you are.

Never said that, just pointing out he has been dropped and hurt at welterweight.
Well my dude, Idk kind of answer you expect since you're just generalizing. Brook's chin has been questioned PLENTY. Before the Porter fight AND Golovkin fight.
But he was wobbled? :thinking: He was hurt far worse vs Lartey than Brook was vs Senchenko. And there's a million miles between the quality of those two fighters.
Also, Spence hasn't looked great whilst taking punches from his recent opponents.

He got rocked quite a lot I would say. you can see how he takes a moment to recover then rush to hold.
Sorry, Lartey has 6 KOs to his name.
Not exactly promising.
No but he doesn't react well to it. He doesn't defend well and looks befuddled and panics a bit.
If he gets rocked like that with one minute left, I don't see Spence surviving the round.
That would make Broner & about 25 other boxers Mayweather fighters too.
Randomly is it just me or does it seem like Mayweather & all TMT guys hype Canelo a lot? They trying to hype up Mayweather's legacy cuz of the W or they got the long game in mind & hoping one day they'll be able to acquire The Canelo?
Ok, I'm off about Spence being a Mayweather fighter, but my point was the criticism could have to do with them having close ties. And Floyd himself has said great things about him.
On the other note, it makes more sense to hype Canelo, because Floyd beat him. It sounds much better to say that Floyd beat the next great Mexican fighter than a green kid who got caught up in the splendor. The latter about someday signing Canelo is less likely, as it would have to be over Oscar's dead body.

Flush shot that lands while he is committed to throwing a punch, it's safe to say he took it as well as he could have.
Spence is one of Mayweather's fighters. Some who dislike Floyd may be saying this to influence odds.
Spence is signed to al haymon/lou dibella not mayweather.
