Spence's chin and recovery time is questionable at worst. Here's why.

[sicko]

Questionable Chin would've been him GOING DOWN! By your observation GGG has a QUESTIONABLE CHIN because he got Buzzed by a Welterweight right?

But we find out May 20th until then as expect fans will do whatever it takes to convince themselves lol

[Thraxox]

chin and recovery time is genetic? partially......but recovery time is strictly experience. has nothing to do with genetics. and chin can be improved with sparring heavy hitters. getting more use to the punch. & spence at this point hasn't even proven a poor chin........

Yup Amir Khan really improved his chin by sparring heavy hitters.

[daggum]

you could be right about spence but brook took some shots from jones in the first fight and never truly recovered and lost most of the roudns after that including a couple where he was battered. same thing was happening in the ggg fight. he got hurt and fell apart. who will fall apart first is the question

GGG was never buckled, he was stopped in his tracks.

That was too early in his career to tell. Well find out if he can take Brooks right hand.

I think as well if you look at Spence's record, he has never fought even a decent level puncher:

Leonard Bundu, 32% KO ratio at Euro level
Chris Algieri, 33% KO ratio at US club fighter level
Alejandro Barrera, 58% KO ratio at Mexican tomato can level
Chris van Heerden, 43% KO ratio at national/continental level
Phil Lo Greco, 50% KO ratio at tomato can level
Samuel Vargas, 45% KO ratio at Canadian tomato can level

Kell Brook has a KO ratio of 68%, mixing at Euro and World level. He has hurt everybody he's been in with up until GGG. He landed some bombs on GGG but was just too small.

3 1/2 years ago. Chin and recovery time is genetically acquired either spence has one or he doesn't and the latter is most likely.

Chin and recovery time are genetically acquired? Then how is it Wlad's chin isn't all that great meanwhile Vitali had a beast of a chin?

Easy, They are not twins and wlad was unlucky that he was chinny while Vitali was born with a Titanium chin. Spence in the video has the first signs of being chinny, by not recovering from the FIRST flush shot of a light hitting Lartey even after 1 minute in between rounds. He was still on wobbly legs in the opening of round 8 and refused to engage Lartey through out that round. That, to me is QUESTIONABLE AT WORST about his recovery time and chin,

[FLY TY]

Emmanuel Lartey a light hitting opponent for Spence back in 2013. Now, it was 2013 but Recovery time and chin is genetically acquired, either you have it or you don't have it. Spence over committed at 27:32 after he hit Lartey with a body shot Lartey then counters with a straight right hand which he buckled Spence's legs completely with his lead hand, instead of his power left hand because he is a south paw, it was his FIRST flush shot in Spence's chin. After the 7th round Spence started with his legs still buckled, and Lartey attacked, and Spence backed up throughout the whole fight.

A fighter who got buckled but have a good recovery time doesn't back up when he is an attacking fighter, especially after recovering for 1 whole minute after the shot buckled your legs. Bradley took the best shots of Provo, buckling him and knocking him down but after the shot, he press forward because of his recovery time.

"BUT CARSON JONES WOBBLED BROOK!" Yes Carson Jones hit brook with a thunderous shot, and Brook took it really well, but immediately after the round Brook went back on to what he does best, boxing and attacks, having no indication that he is still hurt after 1 minute, but spence does even after the 1 minute recovery time and throughout the whole of round 8, and Brook proved his chin once again by taking the best Shots of the 92% KO monster in Gennady Golovkin.

But we will never know till we see them fight.

Andrade was forced to make a pick, and basically said brook because of experience.

Malignaggi says it's a toss up, and didn't pick brook to win.

Yes spence was wobbled by the shot, but I'm not sure you can question his recovery time. It could've been a case of him realizing he was winning the fight, going away, and didn't want to risk getting caught with anything else, and losing a fight he shouldn't.

Your point is taken though, in that spence can be touched, but let's also remember, it was his ninth fight, against another undefeated prospect, and I'm sure you can go through anybody's career and find a time they were wobbled early in their career. The good ones learn from it, and make those moments few and far between occurences.

We'll see if Brook can take Spence's left....not to mention his bodyshots.
