Who are some worthy and solid opponents you would like to see him fight next to put some names on his resume? I like Errol Spence Jr, he seems like a humble guy. Kid got great balance and fundamentals. He just needs to be tested more and get some known name opponents on his resume.

Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero; rugged veteran, never been stopped, a fellow rough southpaw, and a pretty solid measuring stick for where Spence's ability is. Similar things can be said for Andre Berto.
If Spence can blow out a guy that level, you throw him in with Keith Thurman as soon as possible.
I am not sold on Spence yet to say the least, I don't see what he possesses that will give him advantages over top fighters, time will tell. He should be in at gatekeeper level right now, promotional conflicts to one side I would have him in with someone with a good record and live but not dangerous at 147, or someone from 140 who may be a little more dangerous and closer to the top of their game, in no particular order:
Chris Algieri
Thomas Dulorme
Andre Berto
Leonard Bundu
Ruslan Provodnikov
Raymundo Beltran
If he beats someone from that list and depending on how he looks he may want to consider another name from that list or he can step up to one of these guys next:
Robert Guerrero
Brandon Rios
Lamont Peterson
Devon Alexander
This is the class he wants to be fighting for the next 12-18 months, people are getting ahead of themselves talking about Thurman's and Porter's etc. Even if you think the kid can beat those names now, its the wrong thing to do, we have a few examples of kids getting pushed a little too fast and coming unstuck in recent times, Adrien Broner being the main one for me.
Spence should just fight thurman and KO him
That's a great fight. I'd love to see them match up in 2 years or so. It would honestly be a good fight right now, but I think star power wise Spence is still building his up.
He should be the one fighting Andre Berto in September! Leonard Bundu would also be a good test for him, maybe someone like Jo Jo Dan. He has to work his way up not a fan of just forcing him up because he beat a guy on short notice on National TV
Lol wheres tony harrison?!!? now u added another undefeated padded bum record... lol u casuals amaze me with ur love towards "0" in records.... so overrated. im glad tony got a piece of the humble pie, mtfer was a nobody acting big.
Yeah but it would be hilarious.
I see what you mean now.
Spence is a true talent and future champ. I see a lot of good choices here so I won't add any. I just can't wait to see him in the ring again. Dare I say this kid could be the future p4p king. I have a feeling he might be. Only time can tell.
I agree. He COULD be the future guy. But at the same time I need to see him tested first. A lot of names in the welterweight division for him too. I wanna see him fight on Mayweather's upcoming September undercard. Hope he gets a known name this time.

Is Victor Ortiz really a test for Errol Spence though? Lol. I think Ortiz would quit. He don't wanna get beat up like that. Soto Karrass is 1 tough son of a gun. He might be a stepping stone, but I still like watching him fight. He's always gamed.

Guerrero, Soto Karrass, Berto, Josesito, Victor Ortiz, etc.
