Better fighter Errol Spence or GGG (Skill) Prime

[AKAcronym]

People are obsessed with fancy counters and fighting off the back foot.

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.

Thats Fair

[MikeyMike100]

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.

GGG uses both hands

I think Porter is better than Jacobs

I agree and that says a lot about Golovkin's resume lacking if you're comparing it to Spence.

[MikeyMike100]

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.

Who has Golovkin Kod on the backfoot ?

[MikeyMike100]

I wonder how much different this poll would look if Spence ends up beating Crawford

[mxtali]

I’d say close to even. Both fight better coming forward but both can fight off the back foot. Spence’s inside game is another level, GGG harder puncher, neither have been knocked down but we can assume G is more durable.

[joseph5620]

Spence has more versatility to his game than Golovkin.

[GreyFox]

Spence is more skilled by far. GGG only looks good against tomato cans. He's struggled against every decent opponent he's fought even that Japanese bum Murata.
