A Tim Tszyu vs. Joey Spencer stat comparison is due. The two men clash this Sunday, April 6, at New Castle Entertainment Centre in Broadmeadow, New South Wales, Australia. They compete under the No Limit Boxing promotional banner for the IBO Inter-continental super welterweight title.

For Tszyu, it is something of a downgrade from what he usually competes for. However, for Spencer, it is the opportunity of a lifetime. A win over a top boxer like the Australian would catapult the undervalued American into the limelight. So, with that being said, how do both men compare?
