      If I was a fighter id love to have Mayweathers skills because I don't like getting hit much, as a fan its really hard to say. but most fans would say spence because its more action but a fan like me enjoys the action as well as watching a fighter mentally and skillfully beat his opponent and not get hit by other professional boxers. what about you?

        spence, cause he get stuck in and throws punches, not tag and run.

          Spence by far. The dude literally doesn't hold, or hug, at all. He actually punches his way out of body to body situations, and tries with everything in his power to land as many punches on the inside as he can. He'll actually sacrifice getting hit on the inside, while you're distracting him with clinch and hit tactics, just so he can create space to punch.

          Also, his inside body punches are actual body punches with maximum leverage, knees bent, hips and waist rotating, and digging into your body. He's a very rare fighter in that regard. And yes, I do understand forms of clinching and holding are boxing tactics, and smart during certain spots, but Spence is all about strictly throwing hands. No holding and hugging.

              Honestly, even though I'm much more a fan of Spence than Mayweather, Floyd's skill as a boxer was much tighter.
              Spence isn't as refined but I like him more as a person, and some of my favorite boxers are guys like he and Ward who get gritty and use many methods to find victory.

                Right now you are looking at "young" Spence, do you think 35+ Spence will fight the same way?

                  I understand but he gets hit A LOT doing so. I was actually surprised how much Kell hit him. He took a punch well but so did Vernon Forrest until he met some crazy Nicaraguan.
