    Back foot fighting vs a good body puncher that will only be effective for about 4-5 Rounds, once he springs a leak down stairs and your legs start to go then you're basically PREY. He is not unbeatable, nobody in this ERA is they ALL have noticeable FLAWS which is going to make for a Great ERA of Boxing!

    Also Spence Jr is far from Flat Footed than people think, big mistake for those thinking he is slow and they will come in and have a huge speed advantage. Cuts the ring VERY WELL!
    Spence is honestly surprising light on his feet for a dude his size. His feet and his hands are both faster than Mikey.

    Mikey is a pressure fighter so I'm pretty amused to see how he applies pressure when hes not bigger, stronger, or faster than Spence.

      Mikey is an aggressive counter puncher.

        prime Mayweather @ 147 would school current Spence

        Mikey should fight like Floyd

          You have to have good foot speed, power, strength, defense, and ability to fight on the backfoot. I see a lot of people saying Crawford is the one to beat Spence at 147, but I think Thurman has the better chance due to his athleticism and power. Spence would literally walk through Crawford's shots and stop him. I honestly do not see Crawford doing any better than Brook.

            Nope. Bummed doesn't have the experience. He refuses to step up and fight an A level opponent. Spence isn't the guy to face for your first real fight. Benadryl had one leg and outboxed Bummed for the first 6 rounds. You can't go from Indongo, a cripple, and kaovnpranvp to Spence.

            Spence's last opponent was ranked higher than Bummed's last opponent. Spence won via first round ko. Bummed was down halfway through and it took him til the 12th. For a cripple ranked lower than Ocampo.

            People said the same things about Broner a while ago, that they say about Bummed right now. The only difference I see is Broner isn't afraid of anyone. Maidana, Porter, and Mikey would all destroy everyone Bummed has ever faced. Yea, go back and watch Broner's fights against bums. You do that, and you might say Broner wins because of hand speed against Spence too. Watch him against A level competition and you would say Broner is gatekeeper at best.

                That is accurate, but understand he uses his pressure to establish his counters. That's the aggressive part much like Tyson and GGG.

                Hes no Mayweather in terms of defensive counter punching.
