Anybody else think Spence gives Khan the bidness right now?

    Very possible, probably even likely. He's big and he's sharp with those punches.

      NO....not a chance. Did you not see hoe clueless he looked the few times Le Greco used a slight bit of movement. He looked easy to hit aswell.

      Why can't he just be the prospect he is? Seriously Boxingscene don't ruin another fighter for me by claiming he's the second coming and hyping him up beyone belief.

        Spence is 3rd or 4th best 147 already, always said that.

        Mayweather, Pac (maybe), Brook, Spence..

        In fact I'd probably pick Spence over Pac and Brook but he has to show me more.

          Goodness, can we slow down on the Spence hype? Yeah he looks pretty good but who did he beat last night? Or ever? Can we at lease see him against a contender first? As a 15-0 prospect, he looks promising. But good enough to challenge the top 5 at 147? Right now? No way.

            What makes you think Khan is top 5 at 147?

              That's my question.

              He's the only guy I know who can beat a #9 ranked guy as the only top 10 ranked fighter he's beaten/fought in that division and get a #3 ranking by ring.

                I don't. I was referring to the tone of the posts about Spence in general. See the post above mine.

                  Spence got hit a lot more than he should've last night. Khan has better speed, longer reach and better footwork than Greco, add to that his superior experience. At this stage, all Spence will have is a punchers chance but will most likely get outboxed by Khan from the outside.

                  He's developing into a fighter that could potentially be better than Khan in the future but not right now.

                    Ah. Okay. yeah, I'm not going anywhere near that far with Spence. Lots of prospects look good early on, it's why I don't really get too hot on any of them.

                      No he's not and Brook would beat the piss out of him.
