    Canelo vs Spence Jr.

    It might be a little too early to put Spence in a fight like that right now.

    But let's say down the line they get this fight made at like 158 or 160.

    I know we can only go with what we know now. But speculate

    What would happen and who would win in a fight

    Canelo will knock Spence out. Canelo fights in the pocket, meaning, everything that spence throws, he counters. Brook relied on clinching to weather the storm instead of counter punching, which allowed spence to work on the inside. With Canelo counterpunching at every oppurtunity, he would batter spence and eventually knock him out.

        I think this is a very interesting match up style wise.

        While Canelo has those attributes of skill, combo punching defense, ring IQ, strength, power.

        Canelo is like a bruiser puncher. He wears you down, it's not devestating power. Consider throughout his career he wasn't able to knockout Matthew Hatton, old Mosley, small Cotto, weight drained zombie punching bag Chavez Jr.

        Took him 12 to knockout Ryan Rhodes, ref stopped his fight against Angulo in which Angulo was angry the ref stopped it, even though he was getting worked like Chavrz Jr. was.

        I think this would be an interesting fight. If they fought today I would have Canelo winning by decision.

        But as Spence develops and moves up to 154, we'll see how he progresses. A fight between Spence and Canelo a little later would be quite intriguing and I'm betting a great fight to watch.

        Let's see how things develop.

            Do you think Liam Smith would last 9 rounds with Spence at 154?

            I'm just saying.....just saying

              It's rather simple really. If Canelo can't KO Spence then he gets steamrolled and possibly stopped in the second half of the fight.

              Canelo doesn't like to work at a high tempo and he gasses quickly. Soon as he gasses Spence is all over him and it will be downhill from there goes Spence doesn't let people rest and recover, once you start sinking it's over, you can't swimming on the surface again.

              However, right now, Canelo has more experience and is a better boxer, he should outbox Spence early on. The problem is Spence's height and reach, Spence has that long, thudding jab so Canelo will have to find a way around that. Especially when/if he hurts Spence coz then Spence will try to use it to keep him at bay.

              Whoever wins though it would be an awesome fight. The kind of fight people talk about for decades.

                Canelo is too big, skilled and will counter Spence all night. If Spence is durable he'll lose a UD, if not then he'll be out before the 10th.

                Spence said the problem he had with Brook early on was his strength. Canelo is much bigger and stronger and will have that strength from the first bell to the last.

                  Not to mention canelos chin snd defense to the body. Spence has to over commit and take flush right hands to the body if he wants really dig in down stairs but he would get knocked out trying.

                    Canelo stops every 147 fighter.
