They don't have the same style but you could how they apply a somewhat similar way of winning. Both apply constant pressure that eventually breaks down fighters. Both have good body work. Spence and GGG both get hit but still go forward and mentally drain a opponent. Spence also from the Brook and Peterson fight i noticed does not like being pushed back kinda like GGG and both do the best when going forward and applying the pressure.
lil g is a hype job that this thread tries to compare the two cuz Errol is wrecking shop.
break down the technical differences in their styles then. add something useful or stfu.
Spence is a completely different animal compared to Lil' G.
Spence is a proven young lion, Lil' G on the other hand has feasted on D level fighters, losing to the only good one he faced (Canelo). Spence would've honestly probably dominated canelo and finished him inside 3 rounds, thats how good this guy is..
Come on I like Spence and don't respect Canelo but this is a gross exaggeration.
I'm a Golovkin fan and I see similarities in and out of the ring. Spence it the real deal. I really don't care if one guy is better than the other. I like watching both guys fight.

Spence is massive for his weight class.
GGG is small for his weight class
They have a similar style, where size is a big plus.
Interesting to see if Spence could dominate at middleweight.
Golovkin has got much more variety in his punches, hits harder for his weight and a better jab.
Stylistically they're somewhat different, but they share a number of similarities in terms of strategy... a methodical, patient approach to breaking down their opponent which minimises their risks whilst exploiting their advantages to the full.
NO...They're Not!
NOTHING like GGG! I guess some of you haven't been watching boxing longer than 1-2 years if comparing him to GGG is the best you can fuking come up with.
GGG has his style and Spence Jr has his Respectfully!

Maybe im underestimating Thurman but i just didn't like his performances in the Porter and Garcia fight. I think Spence wins impressively. Crawford is the one i want to see because to me Crawford is a mystery. Idk if hes really that good or did he benefit from a very weak 140lb class, so that's fight that could prove something with both fighters to me.
I think Spence beats Thurman too, and am not taking the fact that Thurman isn’t too keen to jump in with him at the moment, am just looking at their style of boxing.
With Crawford that’s a little bit different, Crawford is actually big for the weights he has been competing in, not only that he has the brains. I think he might give Spence a bit of fits.

I'm not going to pretend that Spence's body punches didn't take a toll. I wish other people would stop pretending that Brook didn't also have problems making 147. The combination of those 2 factors was what got to him. Another broken orbital bone didn't help Kell either.
I'm not saying Spence couldn't have beaten him if Brook had still been 28, but it it would have been a different fight, I'm sure of that.
How would it have been different?
I wonder what took the wind out of Brook.

yes there are a lot of similarities but I find irony in the 2 overacting fanbases. generally the fans of Spence are the users who trashed the overhype GGG was getting for KO'ing horrendous level opponents. Made fun of the fans screaming anybody at 154-168 get's brutally KO'd by GGG. That he destroys Ward and that he KO's light heavyweights in sparring and all this nonsense all while GGG hadn't yet even faced a top middleweight mind you. It looks completely stupid now of course since the moment GGG faced top guys he didn't knock either guy out, and arguably lost both fights. Spence has fought a damaged goods Brook and a old career 140lber Peterson who was inactive and just moved to 147 his previous fight. Nobody of note before that. Can we pump the breaks until he beats either Thurman or Crawford?
But I am amused watching GGG and Spence fans fight each other while they are acting the exact same way over similar fighters beating up on entirely horrible level opponents.
Good post but you should of ended it with Thurman not Bud cuz the same can be said for Bud....
Yes .. I picked up on the similarity watching Spence vs Algeiri and I've mentioned it a few times since.
GGG has proved he has a plan B to fall back on when power and pressure don't get the job done .. an ATG level jab.
We'll have to wait and see if the same is true of Spence. If Brook hadn't gassed after 6 rounds rounds we would already have the answer to that question.

They are nothing alike.
The difference is that Errol beat two good opponents while lil g lost to two good opponents.
they're similar in the way that they almost constantly stay on perfect balance over their stance and maintain near perfect range at all times. there's no big defensive movements that put them out of position, giving opponents very little to react on and they're always in position to punch back with full leverage. this kind of pressure is very taxing. spence is younger, fresher and more dynamic at this point.
