      Both Spence and GGG are elite the way I use the word. Unfortunately like GGG Spence also has yet to have a particularly memorable career defining win over a big name, just a long string of 'good' wins. If I had to call it I'd say beating Brook was probably the high point of his career to date.

      I don't rate fighters any lower just because they never faced one of the stars of the sport though, the difference is usually more to do with opportunity and promotion than actual ability.

        Both are untalented idiots who just throws inaccurate 1000 punches. Their high output keeps them alive.

        Spence's career achievement is giving black eye to Floyd during "sparring". Floyd was probably at his 10%. GGGeezer's career achievement is losing to Canelo twice.

            Racism is probably the answer you're seeking.

            You're the only one l've seen call spence not elite.

              Spence is elite in a better division than GGG

              GGG is technically still elite, but he's operating on borrowed time.

                There a lot of boxing fans, across the board, who states that Spence isn't elite but GGG is. I want to know why? GGG has the edge in power, jab, chin, and maybe footwork but that's about it. Spence is the better counter-pucher, just as good at cutting off the ring and fighting on the inside, he has the better defender, and he is much more athletic. Can someone explain to me why Spence doesn't get as much credit as GGG even though he has the better resume and has been more consistent?
                Better question is why don’t you already KNOW Spence is Elite?

                  We need context. A group of white supremacist saying GGG is elite but Spence isn’t, doesn’t count. It’s not valid.

                  Otherwise, I haven’t seen Spence labeled as non elite.

                      You need to find another sport to follow like underwater basket weaving. You are either a troll or you DKSAB!
