Can Errol spence be like rigo???

They shouldn't rush him otherwise he could become a David Reid or Davey Moore and burn out fast.

Here is his most recent fight. Look at the body work. He recognized right away homie didn't like the body shots at all and just ripped this guy to the body over and over again. The guy was clearly a bum, but again, it's the WAY he's winning. He's winning intelligently.

Rigo's amateur background and shear volume of fights makes putting him on the fast track much more viable. Spence is VERY talented but he needs to develop more than Rigo did. To reach elite level, you HAVE to get comfortable fighting ANY style and type of fighter. Spence has the tools to deal with ANY fighter who steps in the ring with him...he just needs the experience and he needs to get it before being thrown in with top tier guys.

He's a prospect let him come up the right way

I feel he will be champion by the age of 27

Don't think so... Rigondeaux, even though he's boring as fxxk, was once in a generation type of fighter.

Some of them screwed themselves also, like Gamboa, Solis, and especially Franco, wtf was that? Someone like Despaigne I don't think was ever gonna make it, he was too old. Listen, Gamboa didn't reach his full potential but he made it. He was unified by the time he had 20 fights and he also made the P4P list. Solis is just a fat boy... Besides Molina who got a better resume than Lara at 154? And Franco was just living off of that win over Gamboa in the AMs. Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android

I'm not saying to do it.... I guess I wrote it wrong more so asking if u think he can beat some of the champs or contenders at his weight class. He gave Floyd a black eye and KOed Broner so yes he can do it. Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android

No rush,,,, Or he could become like Dulorme

No rush. Let him fully hone his skills, go for a belt, win the belt, and be ready for any style that comes his way to challenge him. That's usually how it works.

He had some good experience prior to turning pro and a Olympic fighter no he ain't got rigo credentials but he's had enough. I don't know man I hate seeing guys like him fight super duper cans....like the guy he fought last week looked worst out of shape then me if he's going n getting good work with Floyd n broner I'm sure he can be ready for a step up in comp.

Hell no. Rigo had over 400 amateur fights so he had seen every style and was pretty damn polished when he started. Errol is a work in progress.

I know Errol has been fighting some cans but do y'all thing he can be champ as quick or close to as fast as rigo did???? I say 16 17ish fights he might get his shot.
