    It may be too early for Khan. But he handles a guy like Porter or Broner tomorrow without a doubt.
    Its not to early for Khan as Spence would KO him right now , Errol is good enough to take on any in the division right now , that was a systematic beat down and stoppage it all started with the first right rip to the body in the first round it hurt Chris and they kept coming all night .

      Spence is a really good fighter especially offensively and he is really athletic. He is a not a guy that will go and hide so he will need to have a good degree of toughness to really reach his potential but he will be very fun to watch.

        Sammy Vasquez and Keith Thurman are the only fighters that can potentially beat Spence at 147. And that's not a given.

          I think it's going to take another big framed guy at WW who can **** who could conceivably be a factor at 154 to really test him. Don't know how long Spence can make 47, but I as of right now, I say he gives anybody a hell of a fight.

          Like to see him with more head movement, work behind the jab a little more.

          But that body attack, his footwork, patience....

            Khan would UD him on his bike. He wouldn't be rushing into Spence's left hand like Chris did

                  This post was from before the Algieri fight.

                  Algieri was one if the guys who i wanted to see his mobility tested against, he passed with flying colours!

                  Great ko. Get that kid in with the divisions best, now

                    I don't know. I'm kinda buzzed.

                    For the wiggerly impaired, I think Spence beats Khans ass like he stole something.

                    Fire away.
                    Spence is a big (by modern standards) and strong welterweight. He throws some solid shots and is very powerful but he is a stand up straight guy with limited head movement. If Khan goes in there, with the correct gameplan and uses his superior footwork and handspeed, he could out point Spence.

                    But we'll see how good Khan can be against Canelo and if he looks impressive then I reckon he should stay at 154. It's all up in the air at the moment.

                    In the mean time, Spence v Thurman/Porter is more relevant and then Spence v Bradley.

                      Spence is solid and technical. I like that he gets full extension on shots and makes a determined effort at bodywork. He seemed open for counters over the body punches at times but overall great effort vs a durable opponent. He knows the game and I think he'd give Khan problems. Maybe not a ko, but he has the tools to decision khan in my opinion.
