Only guys like Mayorga and Maidana could beat Spence...
And there is no one like that out there. Someone awkward, deceptively fast, with serious power. I dont see anyone with that kinda style at 147/154. Until someone like that emerges, Spence goes without a loss.

Thoughts?
I wouldn’t be so sure of that especially after Saturday’s fight
I think the blueprint to beating Spence is to drag him into a dogfight ( to bad Porter doesn’t have the firepower )
Had he had some power I think Spence would of been reluctant to throw so much
It would definitely diminish his body attack knowing that something coming back can hurt him
Spence has looked very beatable against the only two top guys he's fought, Brook and Porter (not counting Garcia for obvious reasons). He's a good fighter but he has weaknesses like everyone else. Put him on the back foot and he looks like a deer caught in the headlights. He's only steamrolled the guys he was supposed to steamroll. He's good but he still has more to prove.
I can see Mayorga beating Spence. Guys like Mayorga and porter are txtbook fighters’ worst nightmare.
Prime didnt last long but Mayorga would be a terror in today’s WW division.
One fight we never got was Mayorga-Margarito
Spence reminds me of a lil more polished Vernon Forrest. Mayorga just swung with him. In order to beat Spence you have to be willing to take that punch that KD Porter and throw 1 harder in return.
I meant generally. In Boxing, certain styles have advantages over other styles and skilled brawlers usually have the upperhand against conventional fighters.
Mayorga was past his best when he faced oscar and didnt even eat or train properly. Oscar was over the hill too but he took that fight very seriously and it showed.

Oh definitely would of been a totally different fight
Imo , Spence was staying in the pocket and trading only because he knew that everything coming back was nothing to fear
Don’t get me wrong , accumulation does count for something ( meaning it could break a man down , no pun intended ) but many of Porter’s shot were either haymakers or simply missed the target
Kind of hard to place your shots when your just rushing the other fighter unless your really someone special
