Errol Spence Jr. is so physically gifted inside a boxing ring, so comfortable, so much at home, that even a whitewash victory over an elite, unbeaten and highly regarded opponent isn’t enough to satisfy his critics who, nearly seven years after his pro debut, continue to ask, “What has he done?”
In his pay-per-view debut, Spence Jr not only won every round in his showdown with Mikey Garcia at AT&T Stadium in March, he dominated so thoroughly that there were next-to-no highlights of the previously unbeaten Garcia.
Taking an excellent fighter and beating him so decisively that he looks ordinary, or worse, is one sign of an elite fighter. Spence Jr’s résumé, though, doesn’t turn many on. He’s 25-0 with 21 knockouts and still not the owner of a signature win if the critics are to be believed.
