What Are Errol Spence's Flaws as a Boxer?

[alexguiness]

His biggest flaw is his strange *******.

He is very well balanced with great timing and a natural instinct for controlled aggression.

However, his best win is Brook (who I believe was ahead on points)and beating up Chris Algieri and Lamont Peterson (while both decent) is not any indicator of how he would perform against guys like Thurman, Crawford or even Porter.

I'd actually like to see him fight Porter, both are big WW's and Porter (though wild at times) is a pitbull and it would be good to see how Spence dealt with constant swarming from Showtime Shawn.

He gets hit too much for my liking sometimes. But i think he is so confident in his abilities that he would take one or two punches to land his own one.

He passes the eye test but he dosnt pass the su****ion test!

Is it true that Mikey Garcia is thinking of cancelling their fight if Spence doesn't do VADA testing?

Hey ****** Spence was talking about fighting Canelo

They are not in the same division. But I realize you are too ****** to stay on topic.

Yeah. It seems like he can probably get away with it as long as he's at 147 but I don't know. I hard puncher might make him think twice.

I like Spence a lot. However he is a bit stiff and like others said he needs to move his head a bit more. Love his body attack though. I think Thurman would give him problems because of his movement. I'm doubtful Crawford can beat him but Bud is very skilled.

Mikey and Bomac both see something they can take advantage of. It may be the lack of head movement or the fact that none of us has seen Spence fighting off of the back foot, but we will see what plan Mikey will try to implement come fight night.

Spence has the same flaw all ko fighters do. He gets hit. An A+ boxer usually beats an A+ puncher. I don't know if anyone at 147 is really an A+ boxer though. Thurman might have had the skills, but he is too scared. Best chance Spence loses at 147 is if someone with enough power just lands a perfect punch.

With spence, his skills are good enough, that you not only have to be an A+ boxer, you need a good chin, and some size also. Thurman is probably not big enough to be honest.

Most of the welterweights today are blown up 140lbers.

Spence is a boiled down 154/160lber.
