    It's still early days but from what I saw against Algieri he doesn't seem like the typical black American sort of style/fighter, so the "war" crowd should like him unless his race comes into it for them.
    well.......he's something to get excited about. (win over algeri who i thought beat khan) his resume isn't the best right now but it's most certainly a hell of a start. talking strictly styles. people who so called like exciting fighters aren't that keen on his style at all.

      I understand what you mean but Mosley was exciting back in the days but he didn't really get what you would call the "War" crowd following him. Maybe it was his drugs that made people not adhere to him... Who knows!

            you know exactly what you wanted when you created this thread.

            same reason people make these types about wilder and say "but golovkin is so adored, why isn't wilder?"

                I would favor Spence over Santa cruz style. Santa cuz simply throws punches to throw punches, spence throws with intent and precision. Santa Cruz is a little more willing to take punishment as well.

                I think the only issue with Spence is his soft opposition. Cruz has fought Mares and Frampton who are hungry and good.

                Spence needs better management in his camp for exposure. If he's fighting the kind of opposition he has been, he needs to fight 2-3 times a year. Other wise get the kid a high profile fight!!

                  we're talking styles........"precise puncher" even went as far as criticizing spence's arm getting caught in the rope when punching algeri "you see there. thats why i don't like Spence's style. where is the patience?"

                  the same guy who said he loved exciting fighters. & then u have 40 nerds agreeing with him.

                  but they all scream leo santa cruz & bring back the exciting style.......

I'm just shocked that he isn't as popular with the "war" exciting crowd. one of the more popular "war" youtbers (precise puncher) absolutely hates spence.......and war posters on here aren't too keen on him ether. i just don't get it.......
                    A you're one of the d-bags that gave me red-K.

                    Well anyway here's an honest answer d-bag, Spence is not that good, he's alright, an ok fighter. Crawford is better than Spence and Thurman or Garcia beat Spence.
