    Nope,

    The main thing Spence has over GGG and his opponents is his size/reach.

      they're similar in the way that they almost constantly stay on perfect balance over their stance and maintain near perfect range at all times. there's no big defensive movements that put them out of position, giving opponents very little to react on and they're always in position to punch back with full leverage. this kind of pressure is very taxing. spence is younger, fresher and more dynamic at this point.

        To me he does. Both slowly break you down and pressure opponents. Both aren’t scared to get hit if it means they will get the better of their opponents in the exchange.

        That style/mentality is my favorite to watch and it’s why they are two of my favorite fighters.

        Both also seem like good guys out of the ring too, if that matters.

        By the way, as someone who supports both guys, it’s funny to see the hypocrisy about Spence/GGG here on NSB by a lot of the posters on both sides of the NSB divide (and anyone who posts here regularly knows what I mean by that)

          Very similar, the main difference is Spence is looking more impressive because of his age and competition.

            I was cringing as I opened this thread as I felt odds were in favor of a bad troll thread or some wonky opinion, but yeah I agree with you with their ability to pressure opponents into making more and more mistakes.
