Can we all agree now that Spence STOPS Thurman?

[JakeTheBoxer]

Not sure. Spence should take a fight against hard puncher like Collazo is.

[The Big Dunn]

Thurman gets hit too, Bundu hit him more

The point is Bundu has no power while Thurman does so if the same shots Bundu landed were landed by Thurman, Spence would likely be in more trouble.

Yes, Bundu landed shots on Thurman. Thurman, unlike Spence, has shown he can take power shots from heavy hitters who might have equal or more power than Spence.

SO when discussing the prospect of a Spence v Thurman fight, Thurman has shown he could survive powerful shots and win. Spence hasn't shown same.

[Eff Pandas]

Definitely can't agree with that. I like both guys & I think if they were to fight next I think I probably would lean towards Spence, but thats a bit of a leap of faith lean as Thurman has a much more impressive overall resume & has had more adversity in his career.

How does Spence react when he fights the elite caliber guys he's not fought yet? How does Spence respond when he has to deal with some adversity for the first time?

I suspect by the time Thurman & Spence do fight there might be more security in saying Spence will win, but right now I think there are a lot of unanswered questions with Spence & certainly Thurman has proven more than Spence. Bundu is just one common opponent, it'd be silly to base too much on their fight over a common opponent.

As if Spence needs your imaginary crown.

Probably about as much as your fanboy accolades I'd imagine.

True, Its a toss up IMO but Thurman has the upper hand right now, we will see... I wonder who spence is fighting next, the king of WW is a toss up

[champion4ever]

It's not too much of a stretch to suggest that Spence stops Thurman. After all, Errol is an oversized welterweight. He is strong, lean, wiry with power and a vicious body puncher but also somewhat of a questionable chin.

However, know one can really tell. Perhaps if Thurman can get Spence to respect his power then he probably won't. However, if he can't and Errol are eating those hard punches then I can envision one of two things happening.

One, Thurman getting on his bicycle, just in order to last the distance and survive. Or two, Spence walking him down, cutting off the ring and stopping him late.

Spence's body shots keeps Thurman up at night. Both good fighters, but "The Truth" KOs him.

[al-Xander]

Who cares who stops who? This is just another fantasy fight that will most likely never happen the way the rate in boxing is going. Brook vs Thurman was once a fantasy fight. It didn't become a reality. Broner vs Matthysse was once a mini fantasy fight that could have happened without a glitch. It didn't. Both were in the same cards twice as undercards fighting other fighters. Broner called him out and Matthysse responded, "I hope he's not joking." Sensing it will never happen, Matthysse went back to GBP for good.

Boxing is ****ed.

I've seen a Collazo body shot shut down Thurman

A body puncher like Spence is nothing but bad news

Diego Chaves hit him with a body shot that almost made Keith sh.it himself.
