Forget power, speed, footwork, stance, etc... they are both elite in these areas.
The true difference between Spence and Thurman, lies in their mentality and character.
Boxing is mental, and spiritual.
Thurman is a bully, who's very skilled and gifted physically. But ever since Ben Getty died, Keith's heart hasn't been in boxing. He's just in it for the cash and the poon. He's been getting by based on his tremendous physical gifts, and intimidating aura. But deep down, Keith was a phony.
He thought he could bully and intimidate an old Pacquiao, but he forgot who Pacquiao was. Pac is an ATG molded by decades of violence, a true OG killer who's been to the brink of death and back many times. Pac fights for something greater than himself, he's not afraid to die in the ring.
A clown like Thurman could never beat a real dude like Pac. Look at their stare-down before the first bell rung, Pac's eyes obliterated Keith's soul. He broke Thurman in the staredown.
And when **** got real, Keith wilted.
But Spence, on the other hand, is a real one.
Like Pac, Spence also isn't afraid to die in the ring. He doesn't fight just for money, he fights for something greater. He's not a bully, but he'll fight until every bone in his body is broken. He's soft-spoken, but he's a killer. You can see in his eyes the strength of his character.
Spence is not going to wilt.
Pac vs Spence will be real vs real. Two men who would die before backing down.
This will be a war the likes of which we haven't seen in a long time.

drunk driving? no problem... kidding aside.. imho, pac gonna win this one.. all of pac's fight i've been somewhat nervous but this one? i feel none.. pac proved us wrong everytime.. so let's take what he said.. he was fighting for 25 years he has seen it all. he knows his capabilities all along, even right now.. he wouldn't fight someone he can't.. he's honest and just believe in him.. when he was asked about the canelo fight he said he can't coz it's too much right now (heavier canelo). he knows what he's doing..
