Spence is a great fighter but I could see Thurman beating him

[Sheldon312]

Officially he won a split decision over Garcia and close UD Porter (many thought he lost to Porter) while Spence has TKO'd 2 comparable opponents level wise in Peterson and Kell Brook (Brook beat Porter, Peterson lost via SD to Garica).

And look at their common opponent in Leonard Bundu, Spence finished Bundu in 6, Thurman went 12 uninspiring rounds.

But let's also look at the difference in power, Spence has kept his power as he stepped up in class, Thurman hasn't had a legit KO since 2014 over a chinny former lightweight in Julio Diaz.

I like Thurman but I can't see him as a legit threat to Spence.

That's funny, Bundu said Thurman hit him harder and he picked Thurman to beat Spence. You also forget about Porter and Danny have best chins in boxing. Thurman has the skills to beat Spence. If you disagree you are a fan boy

Goes to the body exceptionally well, understands distance, never losses his fundamentals even under pressure.

Thurman has better defense, footwork, hand speed, power, movement, and IQ. Thurman is the better overall fighter

I don't know about power or IQ but I will agree with everything else. Thurman two step up fights, he could not stop his opponents and in his last fight, he got a SD against a bloated 140 lber.

Thurman hates it to the body and he doesn't even hide it...see the Luis Collazo and Danny Garcia fights for details.

Spence body snatches him.

Best chins in Boxing...LOL. Porter got dropped by Adrien Broner, a 135 lb fighter that move up two weight classes.

Thurman KO's went away when he started fighting elite level fighters. Brook would beat both Garcia and Porter and Spence broke his other orbital socket and made Brook quit.

You don't give Mayweather a black eye, make Broner cry and go tit for tat against the Charlo in sparring if you aren't any good.

He got hit flush a few times and Peterson doesn't have the power, speed, defense, movement, or is that Thurman has. I could see Thurman UD PR TKO Spence

I don't know about TKO or higher, but I saw and thought about what you're saying ^ there.

Thurman can definitely hurt Spence. Looks like Spence is a sucker for a right hook which is a bad look at this level. Peterson landed some good right hooks when he set them up and I was thinking if that was Thurman, not so sure Spence walks through that all night.

I don't like Thurman much, but the kid can box.

Spence has always been a stud to me, but I can tell he doesn't react well to being hit hard. If you look at who he has.been matched up against it's obvious. Brook was the biggest.puncher he faced, and I'm not sure Brook is even a big puncher. Look at the other guys he's fought. All of them are weak punches. Average at best.

Ali got dropped, Foreman got dropped, Oscar got dropped, Floyd got dropped. These guys all have great chins. Eric Morales use to whoop Floyd in sparring. I guess Morrales is top ten p4p. And lets not forget that Brook was weight drained.

Porter and Bundu both fought Spence and Thurman. Both said Thurman hits harder. Hell, Porter said that Spence hit him harder than anyone and that includes Jacobs

[GMAN SUPREME]

spence is very easy to hit. thurman is better and hits a lot harder than brook and PEDerson.

he reacted negatively every time he got countered against peterson.
