I have no news source, so I understand that some of you won't believe me. But fwck it. This is 100% what I was told.
A buddy of mine who happens to know Collazo said he spoke to him, and Collazo told him that he was contacted about a Spence fight and are figuring out details.
It obviously appears to be a stay busy fight before he hopefully fights the Garcia-Porter winner.
Also, I would come up with someone rated higher than Collazo if I was trying to blow smoke up your arses. What do you guys think? This would probably be it for Luis. It also may not happen of course. I don't know how far along they've gotten in negotiations.
People acting like its realisitic for spence to fight crawford next or something
Decent fight and obviously the precursor to spence vs danny porter winner
Matchmaking has been good by haymon
But.people like to b1tch and complain
Spence stops collazo though.
Yeah absolutely fabulous matchmaking. Spence had some momentum going after the Brook win then fought a bunch of stiffs and will continue doing so. Way to go Al Haymon, you sure know how to build a star!!
I was going to say the same. So Spence by Spence's first 2019 fight which will probably be Berto unless Danny Garcia-Porter winner agrees to fight him he'll have gone two years (since the Brook fight) in which his schedule has been shopworn Peterson, Ocampo, Collazo. That's not the murderers row the PBC fanboys would portray. In fact if that was a Top Rank fighters schedule they'd be going nuts.
Haha yeah. Tbeyd have a stroke

That would be bull****.
Haymon needs to start offering mega bucks for someone to fight him otherwise he's gonna be stuck fighting B/C level guys for the rest of his career.
Being a Spence fan is crap :lol1:
that would be down right pathetic
Definitely pathetic if true. But, I'm willing to bet it started out with something like Collazo telling someone in the gym he thinks he could hang with Spence and by the time it reached the OP it turned into, "Spence's people contacted Collazo".
Because Pacquiao doesn't seem to want to fight Crawford, Spence, Thurman or anybody who's really a big threat.
Nor should he. It's funny how a lot of people (like Dunn's dumb ass) wants/expects Pacquiao to fight Crawford, Spence, Thurman, etc yet you have all these PBC prime guys who don't want to fight Spence
1. Do better research.
2. Who's Vargas fighting?
3. What does it matter? He should go after the fight, make some noise. Take a flight over to the Philippines and speak with the man. Great press opportunity. Win/win.
He's not doing anything, just beating up bums and saying nobody wants to fight him. Time to move up like when you were fighting in the 69kg/152lb class in the ams (since 2008 lmao) at the weight limit. Time to stay moved up.
Second fight after moving up, Crawford is fighting Benevidez. Big height and reach advantage (6'2" vs 5'8"), undefeated, good skills, past beef history. That's an exciting fight.
Meanwhile, Spence is sniffing around the chicken coop looking for tender morsels.
:gay:
1. The only reason he would have fought at 154 (which to my knowledge, he hasn't) is because he was at 152 in the Olympics which is where welterweight is.
2. Vargas is fighting Thomas Dulorme on DAZN in October
3. Spence is a quiet guy and it's not really in his nature to do that. If that's what it takes to get a Pacquiao fight, then that's what he should do.
But Thurman is ducking him, Garcia is ducking him, Porter is ducking him, and Pacquiao isn't interested in him. So is he supposed to go to Florida, Philly, Vegas and the Philippines to follow all these guys around for a fight? Why can't they just step up and ask to fight the best guy in their weight class?
What makes you say he doesn't wanna fight Spence or Thurman? As far as I'm aware those options have never been on the table for him like they are now.
I can understand the Bud part of your remark cuz Bob was trying to make that fight obviously & it sounds like Manny & his team were the problem with making that fight.
And honestly I felt Lucas WAS a threat to this current version of Manny. I thought that was a bad fight for him to take.
I thought the Matthysse fight was acceptable and a decent one to make for current Pacquiao, but I didn't think it was that dangerous.
And Pacquiao for the past year has only mentioned fights like Broner or smaller guys in Mikey or Lomachenko. I'm glad today that he expressed interest in Garcia and Porter.
But Pacquiao vs Spence would be a great fight for Spence to take at this time. I hope it could be made.
I hope it doesn't happen and Spence fights somebody better than Collazo instead. Spence KOing Collazo is a waste of Spence's time and talent. MAN DOWN!
I would prefer someone else, but I expect his next fight to be about this level. He wants to stay active which is great, but you'll get filler fights like these. Collazo has proven to be a damn good professional. Depending how much he has left, maybe he can make Spence think a little. But that may be wishful thinking. I expect Errol to get him out of there.
