Comments Thread For: Spence: If Anybody Saw Flaws They Can Capitalize On - Call Al!

People always said the same about GGG, but his style got him to the top of the MW division and become one of the best p4p fighters. The supposed "face of boxing" had to rely on a gift draw v GGG, and that's a faded older GGG too.

Point is, it's great to be versatile but if you are extremely good at your plan A, then it's up to others to find a way to beat you.

Also, it's very very rare to find a fighter that's good at everything and has a plan for everything. That's the whole point about styles making fights. There's no doubt Spence is going to come up against someone that gives him a lot of trouble, that's boxing, it doesn't mean is isn't an excellent fighter if he can't just switch up styles at the drop of a hat.

Agreed, many of the all time greats had a A gane only. It was so good they didn't have much need for anything else.

Spence hasnt shown that he can Box well backing up... does he have a plan C and Plan D when the gameplan he usually uses doesnt work ?. We dont know yet. What if he cant hit his opponent and is getting outboxed, what if his opponent is bigger and stronger than him ? Does he have another plan? We have yet to see it.

This is actually the question I have about all young fighters. The thing about Spence though is he has managed to impose his will upon everyone he has faced. He is so fast, athletic, and skilled that he forces you to fight the way he wants to. I have yet to see someone make him fight in a way he doesn't want so I look forward to seeing him fight some outboxers.

Make him a star reward results the entertainment he brings wants all but doesn’t talk illiterate fake thug nonsense he is all boxing should be don’t hail Broner types and not him

100% agree
I think he's already surpassed Broner as a boxer and will shortly eclipse him as a star.
Broner has never beaten anyone of Brook's quality.
