        GGG is very skilled, but he is more power than skill and idc about the amateurs when making this particular comparison. When faced with slick fighters like Ian Gardner, or inside fighters like Derevyanchenko, or overall good fighters like Jacobs and Canelo, he looked ordinary.

        With that said, i’d much rather be GGG. His power was amazing and that’s apparently all you need to be loved in boxing and get the big PPV fights.

        I was told Crawford’s amateur record and his losses don’t count so I guess silver and gold medals shouldn’t count either. For anyone.

            I think spence's prime was before brook fight. He was a massive pressure fighter. Insane output. Had a layoff before brook fight and took some rounds to get sharp (and brook started to fade) . But became more of a outside jabber rather than the body puncher he was once after that. Physically looks past prime imo. Punch resistance is getting worse. But will obviously be in insane shape vs crawford. Its biggest fight he'll ever fight in his career, win or lose.
            He looked great vs Ugas. Minus that one lapse in concentration

              I think Porter is better than Jacobs

                No. Canelo is better than Porter

                  Yeah can fight inside/outside, front foot or back foot, better punch variety etc.

                  GGG was an absolute terminator at his peak but he was far less effective if you could put him on the back foot.

                    In terms of skill? Well its not the rather one-handed fighter who freezes up when you put punches together and can't counter or box off the backfoot and blocks punches with his forehead.

                      Spence can fight inside, Golovkin can’t really fight inside. Spence’s style a high output potshotter nowadays, it’s jab jab left to the body, jab jab left to the head, jab jab etc he doesn’t really stop and there isn’t much setup, feints or counters. Golovkin in his prime had a high output also, but he’s always been more methodical, he hooks off the jab, and sets shots up, counter’s, feints etc. And he’s simply much more powerful than Spence.

                      People saying Spence can fight off the backfoot haven’t a clue what fighting off the backfoot is, Spence’s backfoot game is nearly non-existent, he’s fast on his feet if not a little stiff but his offense is pathetic, and I always laugh at his counter (99% of the time a left cross) off the backfoot, always laboring/pushing due to a weak back leg. Golovkin can KO you on the backfoot, piece you up, turn you, pivot’s very well he can actually “fight” while backing up, and he has some of the most impeccably purposeful footwork there is which is why he rarely touches the ropes even as an old man.

                      Spence can run around on the backfoot, that’s about it.

                      And head to head obviously Golovkin would kill Spence p4p.
