Spence is taller, has a longer reach, and is a massive ww. He shows up fight night weighing 160-165 lbs. Yes, canelo will be about 15 lbs heavier, but all the other advantages would go to spence.
Problem is spence is a one dimensional fighter and his style is all wrong for canelo.
canelo has almost every advantage. hes larger, faster, stronger, better defense, more experienced, harder puncher, more power. Proven chin, spence's chin is unknown after the crash.
just being larger and faster alone, very rarely do you see a fighter lose to a smaller and slower guy.

Problem is spence is a one dimensional fighter and his style is all wrong for canelo.I don't think Canelo will take the fight at 160 because he can no longer make that weight comfortably. Anyway boxers are classed by weight not height and reach. Height and reach is not an advantage. If it were all champions would be very tall with long arms and they're not. The heavier man is the bigger man in boxing and Canelo having 15 pounds of lean body weight over Spence in the ring is a very big advantage for Canelo. On average the heavier boxer hits harder and takes a punch better. Canelo being two weight classes above Spence is the only reason I think Canelo KOs Spence. Canelo is the much bigger if shorter man and he hits harder and takes a punch better than Spence. If Spence was naturally the same fighting weight as Canelo I would pick Spence to win on points. As for Spence being a one dimensional fighter I disagree with that statement.Spence would not be so high on most p4p lists if he was a one dimensional fighter. Spence is a damn good boxer and a great puncher with 80% KO wins. He has a good defense and a great offense. He is a great body puncher. He has a good chin and has never been knocked down. He has excellent stamina and punch volume throwing up to 1000 punches a fight. If that is one dimension then it's a good one.
Spence needs to fight Crawford. I get that the money is in a fight like Canelo but come on man, the fans want to see the best fight the best in their weight classes not a guy moving up to 160 to make as much money as possible lol.

Good god you’re thick. Height and reach aren’t the only factors when it comes to size. Canelo is a bigger man.
Beterbiev is the only legit threat to canelo
and Bivol
it tells you how good ginger is, when you have to name guys who are like two divisions above his natural weight to beat him
Canelo's not even a big MW, he's more a 'tweener somewhere between 154-160
only reason he'll keep fighting at SMW is, once you go so high in weight, you can't come down, unless you want to get Roy Jon'd

I’m not sure there’s a fighter alive I’d favor over Canelo with a weight disadvantage. All bulls hit aside, he’s just too good. He’ll hurt them.
