    This fight makes me think Spence could be in trouble if he fought Diego Chaves who has a beautiful right hand. Great fight btw, because he will rough Spence up on the inside which is something every young fighter needs.

    If Brook vacates and Ponomarev passes up then Chaves should be next in line.
    He's not even ranked anymore http://www.ibfusbaregistration.com/i...?view=rankings

      Oh I thought Chris beat Amir. But Amir has a terrible defense and a lack of power. He even has very minimal boxing skill. He beats you with speed or he doesn't beat you.

      Chris's game is the Jab, Spence's people knew this. Great, great move by his people. That's why Chaves should be next, not Thurman. Building blocks.

          we all know too much offense irritates you and makes you change the channel
          Love Canelo, Golovkin (I hate his fans though) and Thurman. Spence to me, I think he gon' go sleep one day if he continues to think a guard is all he needs.

              Algieri has one of the weirdest right hands, it's an arm punch and he throws it like a pitcher, just all sorts of weird.

                  hopefully he works on his head movement its one of his weaknesses but he is a beast!

                    What's worse is that he pivots BEFORE he throws the punch.....like wtf

                      I used to be the guy who saw a highlight and a undefeated record and was the biggest fan in the world. I remember the highlight of Alexander knocking out Urango making me think he was amazing. Then I remember writing off the Kotelnik performance. Then he looked terrible and quit vs Bradley.

                      I didn't know quite how limited he was until he fought Lee Purdy though, that fight was embarrassing for both men. His win over Maidana is a fu(king anomaly.

                      We were all new to boxing once though
