    Since he was the first guy to really stop algerie. Spence is a good fighter and i think will be great, but hes not really a boogeyman. I think guys like Brook,Thurman,Porter all have big chance to beat him and he could struggle with them.

            He's willing to fight Kelli Brook...but Brook....not interested.

            He wants Khan..lol

            The guy that stabbed him should have killed him.

              They definitely seem worried about this possibility.

                Brook-GGG was always a win-win for Brook like it was for Khan against Canelo. If they lose, they still keep their title/mandatory position & in turn pocket career high payday.. So let's not rub this went up in weight & fought a bigger man, we all know what was going to happen before the first bell..

                I want Brook-Spence for the same reason as any Brook fan, to prove the doubters wrong.. I think Brook beats Spence now, a few yrs from now Spence bodybags him..
                Green K sent, I see people doing this all the time. But Brook going up to fight GGG is not a risk IMO, it is a win win for him, and it looked like him and his team already had a deal to pull him out if the going gets tough, which they did to help prolong his career.

                    Why is spence getting so much more hype than anyone else? Does an offesnive minded fighter beating someone with no punch power really impress people that much? America has a world class welterweight in thurman already but noone seems to be getting behind him, they are all viewing this unproven kid as the next big cheese.

                    Pretty sure weve been down this road before with fighters, where they demolish weak opposition, the hype machine goes into full swing and then when they step it up, they get found out. J rock was a pretty recent example. People dont learn that offensive fighters are going to look especially good against fighters who arent on their level. WHen someone fights offensively as spence, of course they are going to put these guys away quiker than less offensive fighter.

                    Spence has not fought anyone with decent pop and skills who can fight back. So can we stop saying that world class fighters like kell brook are ducking him.
                    And for the record im not saying spence wont be any good, im saying the hype is getting ridiculous for what hes done so far in his career, its almost like hes guaranteed to be the next huge superstar when he is literally not proven in the slightest so far.
                    Imagine if ggg was black. They would label him jesus.
