    I'd say Thurman but it's hard to say how things will go for Keith. People need to stop with the Spence hype, I saw him get hit with too many right hands and uppercuts his last fight. That guy has zero upper body movement, he's starting to look like a hard hitting version of Devon Alexander.

      There's room for improvement in both guys. We all saw how sloppy Thurman was against a gatekeeper like Collazo. I think Spence can keep his 0 longer then Keith can.

        Other than getting hit with a solid body shot he didn't look any different than I'm accustomed to seeing.

          Neither, because both are charisma vacuums and are going to lose big fights in their careers. I think Spence has more potential as a fighter but as a potential star, he is just as dead as Thurman.

            That's odd, usually people say Thurman is charismatic. But he sure has been MIA as of late.

              Absolutely. Exactly how I've seen it.

              Thurman to answer the OP

                Errol Spence has the talent, is also a southpaw w/ boxing skills & legitamate speed & has the national ameuter pedigree background. Lets face it not everybody becomes great, but i can see this kid making some noise...

                  I think Spence is much more likely to be a superstar. Thurman is a good fighter but he doesn't seem to be very rugged and even Collazo was able to hurt him. Thurman also seems to be taking easy fights lately. In some fights he has been cautious and safety first and even running some. Spence seems to be wanting to step up to better competition and says he wants to fight Thurman. Spence seems to have better all around skills than Thurman. Spence is always a vicious attacker coming forward and throwing bombs. He is a great body puncher. His constantly attacking style is more fan friendly than Thurman's sometimes cautious approach. Thurman may become a star but I think Spence is more likely to be the biggest star of 147.

                    Spence might be more talented but Thurman has more charisma
