Was Spence's performance against Algieri a double edged sword?

Possibly. I doubt many fighters will want to fight Spence. Who needs him? He's not a big money name and he's a risky fight. If I was him I'd try and get some decent fights before enforcing his mandatory position on Brook. It's likely a frustrating time for him.

He doesn't really have to use it close to a fight, it could of been from some time before. With creatine you're supposed to cycle off for a month, say like 3 or so months using it then stop for awhile. I didn't know this either until I saw a video about it. I'll be honest, I just can't see it. Not that I wholeheartedly believe it to be genetics, but I'm more inclined to believe it is genetics than to think it's creatine. Creatine retains water, and unless all the water is being retained in his chest, he shouldn't be so ripped everywhere else. When you abuse anabolic steroids, without taking an estrogen blocker (and testosterone to even the ratio), that's the look you get. Does it mean he's on the gear? Idk, I said far kinder things in that very same post about Errol Spence. http://nattyornot.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/bodybuilder-gyno.jpg ---- And what's with people assuming guys can't cheat through the Olympics? Are you aware of how many athletes attend the Olympics? Do you really think they are all consistently being randomly tested? As if that testing hasn't already been proven beatable. Lol, where did this line of thinking even come from?

No. He should be a light middleweight. He's just like Crawford and Canelo, beating up little guys. Let's see all of them beat a good fighter their own size for a change.

The thing is, it's not just spent. There are so many problems with PBC getting it's best fighters to fight each other.

Well within a year is better than what you're getting for most fights, When is GGG vs Canelo happening? exactly. The IBF have a good tack record for enforcing mandatories so we know it will happen and there will be no unfair demands or anybody pricing themselves out. Algerie is the only decent fighter that Spence has faced, so you should keep that singular not pleural. It's going to be a fantastic fight when it goes down but in the mean time don't start making stuff up. I know as a khan fan you don't like Brook but try to keep it sensible for abit (I know your red cyclone). Name 2 decent fighters that Brook has faced

Stop the nonsense, he's an IBF mandatory.... the fight will happen within a year. The only way the fight won't happen is if one of them loses or Brook drops the belt, the latter is not going to happen. Spence looks like a terrific fighter but so does Brook. Also money on the table has no influence as it will simply go to a purse bid and Brook being the champion will get the lions share anyway. So sit tight and relax, won't be long so need to start making up your own theories and using them as fact. Brooks opponents have been nonsense. It's more likely they'll claim Brook has outgrown the division by the time brook/Hearn's hand is forced

Well he is a mandatory to Kell brook now. So he shall see what happens in the next 12 months.

That's where Haymon having so many welterweights under his banner is to Spence's credit. He'll make these guys fight Spence if he wants them to. Haymon isn't known for enforcing fights. Thurman vs Porter is still to take place, for instance.

as someone pointed out. spence had b*tch nipples in the amateurs. obviously it's genetics........ http://instantboxing.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/erroll-spence-jr-marcus-browne-678x275.png or he was roiding at a young age and didnt properly run a PCT. shouldnt get gyno if you have a pro team around you planning out your cycle

Brooks best bet is to take the fight now. he'll beat Spence easy. Waiting too long, spence will only gain more experience and get better giving Brook less of a chance in winning.

you mad? didn't you quote me saying "maybe that's just the way he looks" ??? And yet, you didn't actually register the words, but you did repeat them in defense. I don't know whether to laugh or shake my head in disappointment. You know someone started an entire thread on the subject, try not to have an aneurysm.

This guy concerned for Spence, yet when GGG gets ducked it's his fault.........

you're an absolute bitter clown....... the same b*tch nipples that he's had since the Olympics? get this...maybe his body is weird. maybe just maybe genetically he was born with b8tch nipples. and maybe (just maybe) we can find a life. you mad? didn't you quote me saying "maybe that's just the way he looks" ???

hmm, I didn't know that. Fair point. Although, I can't imagine somebody using creatine within the week of a weighin or even two weeks; there's the risk of too much water retention while you're trying to make weight. Could be though. There's only one way to find out then...not that it's full proof, but it's a start... He doesn't really have to use it close to a fight, it could of been from some time before.

I know it's just Algieri but I can't imagine many welterweights out there wanting to take that kind of a beating against a lesser known guy like Spence. I can't really see the more "established" WW's over at PBC wanting to take him on unless they get paid really good. I hope he doesn't have a hard time securing another high-level fight moving forward. He buzz sawed Algeri. Fear in the WW world!

Thurman aint duck Spence...it was silly to match.them.up.in the first place @ that particular time....Spence was exclusively fighting cans Why would I (Thurman) fight a guy who was hasn't fought nobody....just cuz TBE said it. When I had to climb the rankings and still cant get big fights. Thats fckin backwards and stupid. But I think Spence would beat Thurman due to Thurman s identity crisis. Are u a boxer/puncher or a runnner lol

It might end up being, but as long as Haymon offers enough money to Thurman, Porter, Garcia, he should get a big fight. honestly tho, if I was a fighter I would just ask for vada testing, maybe it's just the way he looks, but he has estrogen boobs (to even the ratio of testosterone) and a plastic look to his body. I hope guys don't duck him, cause he seems to be the real deal, he's smart, strong and if he's clean, it's all the better. you're an absolute bitter clown....... the same b*tch nipples that he's had since the Olympics? get this...maybe his body is weird. maybe just maybe genetically he was born with b8tch nipples. and maybe (just maybe) we can find a life.

Can also get that from too much creatine, just saying hmm, I didn't know that. Fair point.

As others already mention, that is the benefits of having everybody under one banner in that Division plays to his favor. Just like what is going on at 154 right now with all of them getting ready to fight each other: Lara vs Vanes II, Jermell Charlo vs Jackson, Jermall Charlo vs Austin Trout, Andrade vs Willie Nelson The same will happen at Welterweight, only person they need to get on Board is Brook but the Welterweight Division post Mayweather and Pacquiao will be a even BETTER Division without them because it is more talent now and all are mostly under Haymon and PBC
