    No.... Tito was a much bigger puncher,,, spence is more of a boxer with a good punch and not a boxer-puncher

        Spence could be the next Kermit cintron for all we know... Cintron looked to be a future great before the first margarito fight..

            I think they are both great. However Trinidad is a proven all time great who held the welterweight title for over 6 years until he outgrew 147. He had 15 successful title defenses at 147 and 4 more great wins at the 154 pound world title level. He is right up there with Hearns as one of the hardest punchers in the history of the welterweights. Spence hits very hard but not as hard as Trinidad and he has a long way to go to prove he is on Trinidad's level as a fighter. He is my favorite new fighter and may be a great champion. If he has the chin, heart and stamina the potential for greatness is there. He can damn sure fight and the way he goes to the body reminds me of Trinidad.

                Think some of these lofty expectations/comparisons of Spence are going to come back to reality as he starts to step up.

                  I think Spence has a bright future, but I think Berto, Ortiz, and Broner have taught me to not have crazy expectations so early on with fighters

                    He never used loaded wraps and you don't know what you are talking about. If you are going to go hard on cheaters then get your facts straight and go after someone who actually cheated. Hopkin's trainer made Trinidad rewrap his hands because by New York rules he used to much tape. The way Trinidad wraps his hands is legal all over the world except New York. Hopkin's trainer said Trinidad's gloves were absolutely NOT LOADED as in the Margarito-Mosley fight. Using extra tape and having loaded gloves are two entirely different things. Trinidad was never fined because he never cheated. He just had to rewrap his hands. You should learn the difference between using a little too much tape and having loaded gloves. Then maybe you won't go falsely accusing a great fighter of cheating.
