      lol these head shape/chin shape theories are bollocks.

      We don't know how good his chin is until it gets tested by a respectable level of opponent.
      He was actually supposed to fight Bundu April 11th but that fight fell through.

        I've been wrong before(Timothy Bradley), but I really do think Spence has the "IT" factor to be a future superstar and top 5 P4P fighter. He obviously needs to work on his defense and will soon outweigh the WW division and move up to the Jr Middleweight and Middleweight divisions, but one of his best attributes that stands out to me is that he's a very patient, precise, accurate puncher; that attribute alone will make him a force to be reckoned with. He's a throwback type of boxer. While he may have a leaky defense, he's not a reckless puncher, he picks his spot and systematically and physically break his opponents apart. I'm a fan of his and will be for a long time to come.

            He could be something special but it is too soon to tell. Lets see how he does against a fighter who he would be 50-50 to beat instead of an overwhelming favorite and see how he responds. I've seen guys who were spectacular and thought they would be future stars and then watched things go south for them. He's a good guy, solid skills, lets give him time.

              Cherry picking? The guy isn't a title holder, he isn't a challenger. He's an up & coming prospect working his way up the ranks. I guess you're new to boxing and haven't followed anyone's career from the very start before.

              If Spence is busting up Mayweather in sparring and KO'ing Broner in Mayweather's gym, let him fight the top guys. Stop protecting him. Spence himself said he would body Keith Thurman so match em up
              Sparring.

              No one is protecting him, he's moving up fine as most all young fighters do. Again, you must be new to the sport. Look at Mike Tyson's first 15 opponents. Look at Pacquiao's first 15. Marquez. Bradley. Mosley. There is absolutely nothing wrong with how Spence is being brought up.

                Based on what I've seen. Lartey rocked him late and while that was a good learning experience for him, I still see some of those defensive holes.

                  Pretty tiring to see him making little cracks using language such as "da future." It's obvious that he has a problem with black fighters and posters.
