Did Floyd put a lot of un-needed pressure on Spence?

[Boxfan83]

Personally I havent followed Spence but from what I have read about his time sparring at the Floyd Mayweather gym he is supposed to be "the future." So with that said, I expect nothing less than a brutal beating of Algeri, problem is Algeri isnt a bad boxer at all, kinda awkward and rangy. Not to mention his coach JDJ seems to be the best teacher since the passing of my favorite trainer of all time Emanuel Steward (RIP). With that said do you think Floyd puts way to much pressure on his prospects? And do you think Spence will deliver a brutal KO or TKO beating?

[FeFist]

No, pressure comes with exposure. He's 26 with 19 fights; he needs to step into the limelight.

Everyone is the "future"... Heard that before with Alexander, Dawson, Broner and then Spence, Mayweather might be a brilliant boxer but he isn't God or a fortune teller.

[Beercules]

I think more so with Broner.

[boliodogs]

No. Spence is just as good as Mayweather said he was. He is ready for any welterweight. He will beat the hell out of Algieri and show bragger Khan how a really good fighter takes care of business. I could be all wrong of course but that's my prediction. Spence KOs Algieri in a one sided beatdown.

Absolutely not.

Draw your own conclusions using your own mind and observation skills.

This is one of the many problems with boxing today, too many people listen to hearsay instead of watching some damn film.

I get that bro, I usually dont go youtubing a fighter until after his come out performance because if he steps up and fails I end up using up a lot of data on my phone for no reason lol! But I meant it moreso like how Broner was supposed to be the next Floyd and I think the pressure got to him and he bit off more than he could chew with Maidana. I dont think Maidana and Algeri are the same kinda threat but a legitimate threat none the less.

He puts a lot of pressure on his guys because that's the way Floyd came up.

In his 2nd year as a pro, at the young age of 21, he already beat a good established champ for a title

Personally, I love it. People complain about guys fighting nobody. Floyd is the most trial by fire handler in recent timez

I expect Errol to give Algieri a beating before he knocks this basketball player out.

If Floyd was able to stop Hernandez, Errol can do in Algieri (who is nowhere as good as Genaro)

True, and personally I am all for it but I am expecting a fine performance and I know others are too and if he dont deliver nothing other than a huge win, well then here comes the boo birds...

Floyd once said along the lines I'm an athlete put pressure on me and I'll perform.

The greats can pull it off when high stakes are on the line.

You're a Marine. There was a scientific study that found some people can calmly get **** done under fire. Great boxers would be these Marines in another lifetime.
