Is Errol Spence Another Shawn Porter-type Hype Job (Algieri = Malignaggi)?

[IronDanHamza]

its the go to brit line. first is "remember jeff lacy!" then its "spence is a hype job like russel broner and porter"

living in a fantasy world

He was hyped quite a bit in fairness. Not massively, but abit. Especially after he knocked out Pauli.

Some people on here were saying he would beat Mayweather.

We will find out on May 27th. The good thing is we don't have to wait until Spence is 35 years old to fight the best in his division

Try for once in your GGG hating life to be even a little bit fair to him. First he hasn't even turned 35 yet. 34 isn't 35. GGG turned pro at an older age than most boxers do. He has been trying to fight the best middleweights in the world for many years now. Martinez, Cotto, Eubank, Saunders and Canelo all refused to fight him in years past. He can't force them to fight if they don't want to fight. He has fought and defeated Lemieux and Jacobs. Two reigning world champions who were willing to fight him. His next fight is with Saunders, yet another world middleweight champion. Very few boxers fighting today have fought 3 world champions in their weight class.

yeah similar scenarios. just like with porter, when people talk about brook beating spence they will say spence wasnt that good in the first place, and that they never hyped him. theres a few posters on here who like to do that, rewrite history. had them saying lacy wasnt hyped not that long ago and then i bumped the calzaghe v lacy predictions thread....

after malinaggi, porter has lost to brook, thurman, and had to get off the mat to beat broner. i think he loses to berto.

porter IS overrated.

How is giving the 2 highest regarded 147lb fighters tough fights make you a hype job? Porter is a good fighter who lacks some attributes to get him past the top dogs in the division. Broner is the definition of a hype job. Beats on bums with a huge size advantage then steps up and gets embarrassed by guys that are considered on his level.

Anyone who loses a fight is a hypejob!!

I swear a lot of you have no eye test, if you know boxing you can see greatness at work and porter and Spence have two completely different styles.

GGG isn't 35, he's 34. Why are you attacking me for throwing a random number out there? Are you triggered?

Brook should be given full credit if he beats Spence

Yes resume wise Spence is not good as Porter, but regardless, beating a hyped up prospect is deserving of respect.

I give credit where credit it due

Spence is the real deal and way better than Shawn Porter will ever be.
