    Yeah that has nothing to do with this discussion your going off topic. We are discussing Spence and Thurman.

    Spence was hurt the few times Brook landed cleanly but Brook ran out of gas and quit.

    Garcia, Collazo and Guerrero are not big punchers and Collazo badly hurt Thurman. Sure it was a body shot but that was one of the few times I saw him take a shot cleanly and he didnt handle it well. Against Garcia I dont remember him taking any real power shots cleanly.

    I'm not saying they have weak chins, i'm saying their chins haven't been tested enough yet to judge. Out of the 2 I think Thurman will be able to take shots better.

      Keith took a big shot to the chin by chaves and regrouped perfectly. Same with Spence, Spence took some clean shots from Brook and still kept coming. And it wasn't like Spence was "clearly hurt" Clearly hirt is Crawford getting tagged by Gamboa.

        This division was looking great 2 years ago, seems the momentum has been ****** away by inactive champions.

        Who knows what Thurman will be like coming back, he might need 2 fights before he is 100%. Spence won't progress any by fighting Peterson either, that's just a tune-up IMO.

        Thurman is my favourite at 147. If he gets back to where he was, his tactics and ring IQ could nullify Spence. That's Thurmans greatest asset, he can adjust in there and fight multiple styles, changing it up. I'd go with him just for that reason.

          Spence was not hurt even once by Kell Brook. There were one or two times he stumbled because their feet crossed each other but not once was he ever hurt.

          You're grasping at straws here buddy.

              Thurman superior?? Lmaoo

                You're delusional, but if you can't face reality than by all means, keep living in that fantasy of yours. We all have our vices.

                    I think Spence breaks Thurman down and stops him. If you listen to Spence speak you can tell how hungry a fighter he is. It's going to be hard for anyone to beat him in the division.

                    Thurman is starting to sound complacent and settled as a fighter.

                      I agree also feel that the fight is a 50/50
