    man Errol is already 31. It's not like he's in his 20s. He would have moved up by now. Correct me if I'm wrong but when has a boxer moved up in weight in his 30s? Like a whole two weight classes. Errol only got a couple years left realistically.

      i'm sure if floyd mayweather came back and demanded a fight at 160 lbs and guaranteed him a hundred million and a ppv upside he would make it.

      but that's not happing, and short of that nothing is going to bring him to 160 lbs again. fighters rarely go down in weight. it puts a ton of pressure on your body and it shortens your career.

        you serious?
        what fighters do you know that stuck around for a while who didn't move up in weight in their 30's?

          i can't think of many boxers who stuck in one weight class, and then when they hit their 30s, suddenly move up 2 weight classes and succeed

            That’s probably the only fight I can see him moving down for. That fight would easily fill Cowboys Stadium.

              If Spence wants it I’m sure that would work.
              I don’t think Spence or Haymon would take a fight at 168 or 165 as he’s not even come up from 147.
              Either way Canelo’s not coming down to 160 for Spence.
