Comments Thread For: Spence: Thurman Not as Strong as Brook, He's Small - I'll Beat Him

[Mike D]

Not saying he is better but Porter is more relentless than Errol is.

I think Porter's motor is maybe more relentless, but Errol, when he steps on the gas, is as relentless, effective, and as beastly pound for pound as anybody in boxing. He picks his spots on when to be relentless, but when he does -- he flashes absolute dominance.

Every time Brook had a nice moment, Spence would step on the gas and rally hard and erase anything that Brook did...and some for good measure.

What fighter "likes" cutting weight?

[Dean_Razorback]

You pointed out three significant points here, Thurman telegraph of his punches, his power and Spence defence. If Spence gets through Thurman power without going down then he would either beat Thurman up to the body and stop him or UD him.

thurman was against the ropes too much vs porter. he can't afford to do that vs spence. if he does that he'll go down,

I saw brook push and out muscle spence quite a bit. brook was physically stronger than spence. anyways I'll take thurman's movement and ability to deal with pressure as he showed against porter over spence.

lol spence admitting he's really a 154 pound fighter picking on 147 pound fighters.

Are Spence and GGG in the same position?

One guy has been boxing pro for 11 years and is 35 years old. The other guy has been boxing pro for 4 years and is 27 years old. GGG critics were saying he needed to move up because there was nothing at 160. Spence critics are telling to move up for no reason.

When a fighter doesn't need to move up because he can still make the weight, but is in a weak weight class, he should move up. When a fighter doesn't need to move up because he can still make weight, and is in a good weight class, he should stay.

This concept may be hard to understand for you, but before you answer just try to grasp it a little first. Keep your GGG fanboyism to the side before replying. Use logic.

So you started with, "Why would he move up when he has no problem making weight?" Turned out that you have plenty of checklists to consider. Why didn't you say so?

Are you sure Spence's stable mates are not going to duck him? What if they do, is he going to move up?

Very true, I'm picking Errol to stop Thurman with a body shot but Thurman is a thinking man in there & does have the tools to keep away & box Errol for 12 rounds especially after seeing in a few fights that Errol's defense is not as well as his offense & determination.

lil g admitting moving up to 168 after Ward left the division....so what's your point? Almost all fighters fight at a lower division than what they actually weigh.

Don't know what you wished you saw but from experience I saw Errol was stronger than brook from round one.
