Spence more like Pac than Floyd.

    He's a lot more hittable.

      Pacquiao is far more flexible, he moves his upper body. Spence is stiff

        Dude stop lying Lol Spence is very easy to hit, and kind of sloppy! He needs to find more ways to avoid a punch opposed to just jumping out the way.

        I get the idea that if he faced a person with a little more power, with some skills, he would get a handful.

        He is overwhelming his opponents right now, and looking decent. But I felt that Bundu was causing him some problems and Im curious about him vs Thurman at this point!

        I know what happened with Thurman vs Bundu, but if Thurman can avoid being smothered by Spences hands, and his power, it will be a long night.

        Spence seems very very easy to outbox.

        I also felt that he was punching himself out vs Algeri, but he finished Chris off, before he finished himself off.

        He is getting away with being sloppy and making allot of mistakes, but he better tighten it up as he starts fighting tougher foes.

        I even think Crawford would capitalize on all of that stuff and make Spence follow all day!

          Putting Garcia and Thurman to shame? By fighting Algieri and Bundu? ok.

          People need to calm down. Spence looks good so far, that's about it. Lets see how he deals with a top 5 fighter.

          I'm not a Danny Garcia fan at all but at least he fought Matthysse when everyone was saying how dangerous he is. So he did show he wasn't a coward. Spence has shown nothing at all on that level yet.

              Pac can't cut off the ring to save his life, Spence can
              Yea you are right Pac cant cut off the ring to save his life, and i equate that to the level of skill of the fighters he fights.

              Spence so far looks fine at cutting the ring off, but also take into consideration the fighters hes fights. Cant be all that hard to cut the ring off when you are fighting fighters with no skill and are just at best C- to D level fighters. Just saying.

                  **** comparison no disrespect but he fights like Errol Spence Jr I can't think of anybody to compare his style to either past or present. Maybe a welterweight version of Mike McCallum because of the BRUTAL body punches that Spence has just like The Body Snatcher

                    Styles make fights. Everyone knows that (especially if you're considering size too). Pacquiao is tiny at 147. He is a 135lb fighter and a natural 140lber. Floyd can't even make 147 without an IV, further concealing this by not posting his weight on fight night.
                    Hearns would probably take longer to get Floyd out of there and may not be able to even do that. Floyd is a runner and a survivor. Pacquiao has a level of self respect for his fighting strategy that he is going to beat his opponent physically. Not potshotting every round and running when there's a risk. Pac would go out on his shield the same way Leonard, Duran and Hagler were willing to do. But again, Pacquiao is a very small welterweight.
