Comments Thread For: Who Can Handle "The Truth" After Brook-Spence?

Spence will even get better. Brook is a very strong fighter and Spence went in there and worked that body up into the clean head shots.anybody at 147 has their hands full.

Brook is a damaged goods going to the fight. He was too wary about the eye socket injury inflicted by Golovkin. Brook was never the same after that. Golovkin took everything from him.

I can't see Thurman beating Spence. Styles make fights and Spence is a bad match-up for Thurman. Also, I have only seen Thurman "hurt" once, and it was from a body shot. Spence is probably the best body puncher in the game. Danny Garcia would have a chance against Spence, but he would probably lose too. Swift's defense is really good and his countering is great, and he has decent power, so if he could stay on the outside and land some clean counters, he would have a chance. Not a good chance, but a chance.

Honestly, Spence is the best WW fighting today. That's my thoughts anyway.

Who would give Spence the toughest fight? Charlo, Lara, and Andrade. A Spence-Crawford fight would be close to a 50-50 fight; I would still favor Spence mainly because he is bigger and stronger. But Bud is with TR so no way will Arum ever allow one of his top fighters in with someone like Spence. Honestly, I do not see any WW beating Spence, but one division north and he would have some real trouble. Luckily for Spence, the big names and big fights are all at WW.

Ha. Only one fight and you think he is the best WW? Brook is already a spent force. When he cleans up the division, that's the time you can call him the best. There is a trend now that everytime someone wins in a good fashion, he becomes the best.

As of now I think only Thurman , Porter will give him a good scrap but lose in 12

Excuses Excuses..... Spence is the best Welterweight around today. The only other Welterweight's of worthy mention are Thurman and Pacquiao. Spence is too big for both.

Like I tell people Spence is what I call a "152" fighter. Meaning he's not really a true WW but he's not really big enough for full fledged LMW's so he's forced to fight at 147. It's the same with Brook, he will have to choose his oponnents wisely at 154. Cotto, J-rock guys like that. Definitely not Charlo or Andrade..

If u see the pictures of Errol and Charlo in camp. Errol is big but Charlo's height frame everything a much bigger specimen at 154 physically.

I can see Spence dominating welter and later on Junior middle. Truly, he is the successor of FMJ.

A lot of Brook fanatics couldn't handle the truth.

I don't know about dominating JMW. Spence can probably move up and get a couple good wins like Floyd but he doesn't have the frame of a full time JMW. Spences's team knows this that's why they worked him down to compete at 147.

SRL was the same way frame-wise. But his skill could carry him anywhere. However I do think Spence could handle everybody at 154. Anrades length could be an issue but he seems to have poor legs/balance. I think Spence would beat Charlo. That interview where Charlo was discussing Spence's work ethic told me what I needed to know. He views Spence as a superior talent. Which is probably why he chose his trainer. Lara could give Spence a tough fight for sure. But he may not be able to run for 12 rounds. His fight with Vanes was telling. They are all good fighters but I think this kids activity level and pressing style his tough to weather. He threw 600 punches against Brook.

Spence's best wins are against an Algieri that PAC dropped 6 times and a Brook whose face GGG broke in his last fight when he stopped Brook in 5 rds.

Damaged goods. I think that both Thurman and PAC beat Spence.....Crawford boxes him up too. I would say Bradley as well but he has been WAY TOO INACTIVE.

Spence looked beatable and was down 5-1 on one judges card after 6. The eye injury saved Spence. Guy got exposed and the false hope for the savior of black BOXING in the usa certainly is not Spence and if it is, then boxing among that demographic will loose alot of revenue from the *****s and the casuals.

Thurman
Garcia
Pacquiao

All beat Spence.
