    The only difference is you don't have an entire network telling us Spence is some kind of unstoppable monster. We've all seen with our eyes what he can do. We were told constantly something about Golovkin not everyone was seeing. Either way, I hope we don't have to wait until Spence is showing some wear and tear for us to see him face his first real test.

      Hopefully he's able to be as active as GGG was when he was being avoided. That way he can build more buzz, more of a fan base and eventually be impossible to freeze out. The PBC schedule of maybe two fights if your lucky a year schedule won't do Spence any good. He's also likely to outgrow the division soon too.

          Only similarity between Spence and Golovkin is they’re both undefeated. But to answer the OPs question, Spence won’t be treated the same as Golovkin.

            Spence now is where Triple Gee was when fighting Ouma. That would be a Brook and a Peterson accomplishment the same as Ouma?

            Triple Gee wasn’t hyped in 2011.

But I'd agree he's an avoided guy in general in the division when you see who's there.
              Crawford aint fighting spence anytime soon or later

                Hype and general accomplished are different things. Spence has to wait at least 4 more years to reach the time when Triple Gee beat Lemieux, which by that rate alone, surely Showtime will have tougher matchups for Spence instead of what Triple Gee had facing after Ouma.

                    I did notice some Floyd fans favouring Crawford over Spence, I dunno man I think this has got to do with a boredom thing here.
                    Floyd fans liked being lulled into sleep with boring performances that Floyd put on in the latter stages of his career and now they like Mr.Boring no personality boring as **** in the ring Terence Crawford lol.
                    I at least give props to Floyd he was entertaining as hell outside of the ring, TC is just straight Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz z

                      Lol. At least? Yeah I’m sure most men at least give Floyd “props” for making such money. At least you know, forget Pretty Boy Floyd, Money May tactical fighting was identical as when he started...
