    Is Spence the black GGG... or black Margarito?

    Obviously there are big differences in speed....and chin (I doubt he has a GGG chin)

    But Spence is not the typical American 'slick bruvva' type of fighter. He's more of a seek and destroy guy. He has fantastic stamina (like marg and GGG) and is physically strong as hell.

    To me he seems like a throwback to one of those 80s or 90s bruvvas, like a welterweight Gerald McClellan. Most of the American bruvvas that I've seen in this day and age mould themselves after Floyd/whitaker. Spence looks to me like a throwback

    It's going to be funny seeing all the GGG haters hype up and worship Spence, lol. Both guys are relatively soft spoken and don't really talk bad about other fighters/much trash in general.

    The irony.

      Nah he isnt Gerald Mcllelan. The guy was a terminator that tou literally dont want to be in with. Spence is a better version of margarito because of how he walks his opponentdown with accumilation damage. But whether or not he could take punches like margarito is different story, we know now that spence isnt chinny but having an iron chin is a different story.

        Spence is a terminator against guys who can't punch.

          He just fought brook and took ome to give some. Give the man a credit. Brook may not be the hardest puncher but it is something of note.

          Just give the man his due credit.

            I don't see him as seek and destroy until he breaks down his opponent. He's got really good mechanics, timing and balance, which makes him really good in the pocket.

              He's the black.... Errol Spence. What a novel thought, he is who he is.

                This is true!

                But what current fighter would you say Spence is closest to?

                I think GGG.

                  FFS Spence just proved he's no hype job... GGG has his chance in September.
