    Errol Spence reminds me of a poor man's Miguel Cotto

    Spence isn't great at anything but every time I watch him fight, he reminds me of the poorer version of Miguel Cotto although he lacks Cotto's power.

    Anyway, since he doesn't do VADA testing - he needs to stay away from juiced up Manny Pacroid if he doesn't want to get battered in a roid rage fight.

    Cotto had even slower feet and less defense.

      Spence has elite level stamina and punch output. He’s precise and consistent. Porter was a tough matchup for him and he didn’t look as good as he has done in the past. I think against pretty much anyone else in the division he breaks them down convincingly.

        Maybe defense, not slower feet. Cotto was a better boxer too. But he didn’t have the conditioning of Spence. There’s a trade-off here.

        Head to head, I dunno, would have to think about it. Seems like a toss up at the moment.

            You obviously never watched Cotto fight. I'm guessing you said Thurman due to complexion. But that's the only thing they have in common - Thurman lacks Cotto's balance on his feet.

              LMAO at Spence's defense when Porter was out there smacking him up at will on Saturday. A bigger puncher would've knocked him out. And it was the same when he fought the damaged Brook.

              Spence's defense is terrible and it only looks good against bums and undersized guys.

                Spence's conditioning is PED, hence his man boobs and why he never takes any drugs test.

                Cotto would destroy Spence. It's not even close.

                  Nah. Spence is like a erislandy lara that just goes to the body more. Both lefties and throw alot of accurate 1-2’s, 1-1-2’s, 1-1-1-2’s. Basic punch selection not much variation, spence just a more physical lara

                    Spence has no elite attributes
