      Errol Spence - for those who don't know sh...about boxing - is a solid fighter. He's a late starter. He gives up rounds 1-3 and then comes out dominant.

      Remind you of anyone? Terrence Crawford. Does the same thing.

      Spence's standout is how much he puts behind punches when he gets going. He loads up. Reminds me of a prime Gerald McClellan watching him fight. And he's one of the best body punchers in the game right now.

      But again, he's a late finisher. His early rounds are never anything special.

      I'd really enjoy Broner/Spence. Really. That would be a money fight.

      For now, yes...if he can stop Chris Algieri, he's legit.

        A few people wanting Spence vs Thurman but won't he be due for an eliminator for Brook's IBF after the Algieri fight? I think Brook will have a voluntary after Bizier then Spence would fight an eliminator at the same time

          That is not how I remember it!

          Floyd was hyping up Spence and said Spence and Thurman could fight for one of the belts he was vacating.

          Thurman then starting talking slick about Spence saying he doesn't deserve the fight and has fought no one to even be in the ring or mentioned with him and a few other things.

          After hearing Thurman keep talking down on him Spence finally made a few comments but never as many as Thurman did.

          I don't know where you got your story from but Spence responded to all the junk Thurman was talking he never started anything.

            How many times have you actually seen Spence or Brook fight. I can't imagine that you've seen them each fight a few times and you think that. Brook is a legit top 5 welterweight. Spence is one of the top young fighters in boxing
            Lol Radsun I have watched more boxing than you will ever see check when I joined and you will understand

            Spence is hype, why wait until he has a belt to fight somebody dangerous Chris Algeri is ****, no boxing skills so he gave Khan a hard fight so what. Brook has been waiting for his pension just like Junior Witter did years ago chasing Hatton and then gets exposed by Bradley and Alexander.

            Before you talk what you don't you should check

              So Keith got to his position by luck? Or did he put in hard work to go with his talent?
