Spence with his game and skillset looks as a superior type of boxer than Kostya, but still it's better to see more of Spence, Kostya obviously did more to prove his greatness.

Crawford is already better than Kostya, I'd say. Crawford just needs this last question to be answered, he gotta handle Spence to prove everyone, that he's in the same class with the likes of Leonard and Mayweather.

Just watched Tim Tsyzu vs Horn. Wonder why Horn rushes in head first all the time, he's inviting counters in the process. A slick counter puncher who's comfortable on the backfoot will eat him alive.

Aren't Tim Tszyu and Errol Spence Jr. competing in different weight classes?

Errol Spence Jr. has bigger fish to fry at 147lbs than making the jump to 154lbs.

And let's not avoid the elephant in the room, by ignoring a distinct possibility that Errol Spence Jr. may not be the same fighter he once was before his car crash.

His physique looked a little fleshy and his behaviour seemed a tad weird to me when I've reviewed some of his social media posts. I know that doesn't mean much, but it's just something that I've picked up on.

I'm guessing that spending weeks in the hospital and recuperating at home could cause muscle atrophy. And I don't know if his mind-set has changed somehow.

Errol Spence Jr. will deserve kudos if he beats Danny Garcia after the ordeal he's been though. I'm not saying I think he'll lose (too many unknowns), but a victory will impress me nonetheless.

At this point in time, I honestly don’t know if Spence Jr. is capable of beating Tim Tszyu (because I need to see how he fares in the Garcia bout), but if he hasn’t been affected by the car crash, then I’d expect the American to be able to bulldoze the Aussie with consummate ease.

Kostya = Legend. Spence and Crawford still need to do it.

I made a thread ages ago about how overrated Tszyu was.

He was a good fighter who beat Zab, and had a few other solid wins like Hurtado and Urkal, and feasted on a ton of shot Oscar leftovers like Chavez, Leija, Ruelas and Gonzalez. That’s it. Mosely and DLH would have beaten him, Tsyzu shipped too much to outpoint them and they were too tough for him to stop them.

did no one watch the spence -porter fight? we saw spences level right there. was a close fight that he he very narrowly edged. ive more respect for porter as he has worked more in his career and had a harder path, also he has fought everyone in the division, more or less in their primes. and he has often been the b side. and no one has really battered him.
spence cant be called a fraud, but people do seem to overrate him a bit. Im not so sure he wouldve got past brook had brook not been broken by ggg...but we will never know.
maybe when crawford beats spence people will say that he was never the same after the car crash....and this is why i would like to see crawford v porter. porter seems to be a solid line of form.

Nope, they probably wouldn’t fight each other anyway.

Spence and the Charlo’s came up in the amateurs together and also spar each other regularly.

If they ever did fight, they’d be over familiar with each others fighting styles, which wouldn’t make for a good bout to watch (unless you’re into cagey chess matches).
