Do you prefer Spence or Mayweathers style of boxing?

Pretty boy Floyd
Spence
Money Mayweather

In that order

PBF was the ultimate complete fighter IMO. Best fighter to watch for me.

All roads lead to Mayweather.

Honestly I ALWAYS thought Brook was overrated along with his power, had Brook had some Maidana type power and hit Spence that clean, it may have been an early closing. Spence did show a chin though so cant take to much from him but again, you cant take that many punches, if he plans to move to 154 soon, hes gonna have to tighten up, those dudes up there can crack.

Yea, I kept harping on that before the fight, where did people get the idea that Brook was powerful? Because he's big? Brook fights really tall and stiff and loses out on leg power (which is too bad since he's walking on tree trunks). Spence, the opposite, he gets coiled up like a cobra, pushes with his legs and really turns his hips and shoulders into his punches. I don't even think Spence is particularly strong, he just has a technique that sends a lot of power home.

Anyhow, that's off subject but i couldn't resist that tangent.

Spence is not rock em sock em. He is an "athletic overwhelmer" he uses skills, including cutting off the ring, a sublime jab, punch variation and body work to leave his mark. Floyd is a master counter puncher and defensive master. I prefer skills over everything so I appreciate them both for different reasons

I'd like to see a fighter who splits the difference. Someone polished with both offense and defense. A good chin, hard puncher, and puts on an entertaining fight. Spence still needs work. He looks a little awkward at times and isn't the best at slipping punches. A younger Mayweather was better at slipping punches. Post-Gatti he started to move, run and clinch more. I don't think a fighter should rely completely on any one defensive style. Mosley relied on slipping, which works well when you are young but not so much as your reflexes fade. Jones and Ali depended too much on reflexes, leaning back and moving straight back in their youth, which didn't carry over so well as they got older. Running and clinching makes for dull fights. As a fighter ages I prefer to see effective movement, counter-punching and blocking. Create openings, improve your inside game, counter.

What do you think of Terrance Crawford? I think he fits that bill. I have high expectations for him because he has GREAT defense and hes mean in the ring.

Hes no Brandon Rios but he got hit A LOT sacrificing defense for offense. Dont get me wrong, it paid off BUT had Brook been dropping bombs and not brownies, the fight woulda been different.

I see him as a complete fighter thus far. But, he's been in with limited or overmatched opposition up to now. I'm curious how he stacks up at 147 against the top 5 guys. He is also hittable, which isn't a big problem when it's John Molina landing leather, could be a problem when Spence, Thurman or Porter land. Time will tell.
