    From my observations and estimations, I rate Spence Junior as a text book fighter.

    Solid Jab, good footwork, his defense is good but nothing amazing 'Just solid enough', solid at putting his punches together and is loyal to his tactics.

    Spence Junior really does not do anything wrong, he is ether good or great in all area's etc.

      Do you feel the same way about GGG, Hagler, and McCalum?
      GGG and hagler are way more versatile. Prime ggg had amazing foot work, head movement, combos. There's a reason why ggg won worlds and silver at the olmypics while spence got his ass beat by a khazakh and never placed. Spence has slow heavy feet and no lateral movements. For ggg, Look at the ishida ko how he timed and set that up. Hagler was also great at rolling punches and was a switch hitter. Spence is straight up and down in a straight line no head movement only one way. He's gonna get his ass beat bad.

        Tim Duncan didn't have the athleticism of Chris Webber. Didn't have the shooting of Sheed. Didn't have the strength of Karl Malone. Didn't have the hops of Stoudamire, but he was a hell of lot better than all of those guys just being "basic".

          Well said. I have Errol winning in fact when the fight was made I had Spence stopping him but Bud’s confidence and most of the boxing fraternity is leaning to Bud is making me rethink which is weird. My vision is based on the fact that I don’t think Bud can withstand the onslaught. Now that I think about it again Bud was caught with a right hand and went down which was wrongly waved off as a push...... Spence by knockout, that’s my last and final answer
