    Spence can be outboxed

    But he's going to be relentless and keep coming for all 12 rounds.

    Right now I don't see many fighters out there who will have both the skills AND the toughness to weather the storm until the end to win on points.

    Thurman's power will give him trouble and I favor Thurman slightly in that fight.

    Crawford if he gets comfortable at 147 first would beat him.

      You need power on those punches and some size. Crawford and Thurman has both. So they need to stand their ground. Brook clinched to much which allowed spence to fight on the inside and hit him to the body.

        I agree yes he can be out boxed but who is there at 147 to do that. I do rate Crawford highly but we don't know how he will fare at147

            I totally agree Spence can be outboxed. His technique is anything but flawless. We often saw him going forward, head down, throwing bombs. I don't think i've seen him use any lateral movement at all during the fight; he was always going in straight lines. His jab dosen't seem to be that effective either. Put him against a guy that would not let him engage so easily (a guy with good movement) and Spence is in trouble. He rely too much on his huge power, stamina and chin to win. I would give Thurman a good shot at beating him, but Crawford would always win if Spence dosent get an early KO.

              Not sure Spence would fight every opponent the same way. He fought Brook the way he needed to.

                I agree with you for the first time in..... a while?

                Spence is the black Margarito with a better defence?

                  Spence is too basic. He loses to any top calibre fighter that can match him for size ie he should never go to lmw

                    Nope. He cuts off the ring wonderfully and makes you fight the way he wants to fight. Thurman can win because he can fight Spence off and then box a bit rinse and repeat.
