Comments Thread For: Spence Discusses Future Move To 154: I'll Be Stronger, Sharper And Could Throw 1,300 Punches

160 has the record holder for most middleweight title defenses of all time, two undefeated champions and a 36-0 former 154 pound champion.

168 has Canelo Alvarez and Danny Jacobs.

Outside of canelo nobody fighting each other and Jacobs got a gift against Rosado so try again

I could work at PBC who has brain washed you into thinking their welterweight stable is better than those guys when they’re welterweight stable hasn’t accomplished more than them.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Now that's some funny **** right there! You should be a professional pitcher, because you have very good "spin!" LMAO!

Mungia was the weakest titleholder 154 beating small glass chin Sadam Ali, and he been mandatory for well over year and ducking Andrade and hes not too keen on fighting Charlo. Yeah you ko Montiel in 2 but he fought him at 147 on 2 weeks notice but Charlo fought him at 160 big difference.

Yeah! It's time for him to move up next whether the Crawford fight is available or not because he has been fighting at the same weight division for his entire career. He is no longer a young athlete. He is 31 years old now. So it's going to be harder for him to cut weight the older he gets.

After that accident whatever keeps him in the gym, in shape, and out of trouble seems like the right thing for him to be doing. All the other drama and storylines will still be there, but for most fighters the gym is the place they and their careers are safest. There could be a dozen reasons he wants to move up and it seems like a reasonable move whatever his motives are. But first, even though I think he beats Pacquiao, I hope he isn't looking past his next opponent (i.e. talking about reaching out to Crawford, moving up after that, etc.). I hope the Crawford fight happens (even if I'm tired of the nonsense back and forth) and if he moves up I hope he tests himself at 154. Guy has talent and time moves quick, as a fan I'd like to see what he's really got.

There is no back and forth. Because Crawford has put that fight in his rear view and totally ignoring any talk of Errol Spence right now. If anything its just Errol Spence continuing to hint at the fight to save face for his fans and critics.

[YOU WILL LOSE]

Crawford fight unavoidable and now that Lara has left 154, it's safe for Spencer to move up. so damn obvious

Was Ali delusional to get 5050 vs Foreman? Crawford is clearly the best but Haymon has all the belts under control because he owns the division and has manipulated it for spence to get most of the belts. everybody knows Crawford and Arum did everything they could to get spence but haymon and spence ducked it. just like stevenson ducked Kovalev, wilder ducked AJ, davis ducked loma and lopez. It's always the pbc pretenders who do the ducking and dodging. and ****** fools like you who refuse to see it.

So the most famous boxer of all time got 50% against Foreman... and you think this is relevant to Crawford, how? Try judging the economics of Spence vs Crawford on the merits at hand.

Let's run through some of the other things you said:

Crawford is clearly the best.... No, it's your opinion.
Haymon has all the belts under his control because he owns the division. This is a circular argument. Put it the other way. Haymon owns the division because he controls all the belts. It amounts to you claiming Haymon runs the division because you say so... Why not lay out the ways in which you think Haymon has manipulated it for Spence to get most of the belts. Decent fights are there for Crawford if he wanted them. But he never takes them. Thurman is not controlled by PBC. Porter has said he would fight Crawford, all he has to do is say yes. Is Porter lying?
Everybody knows Crawford and Arum did everything to get Spence... No, you think this. Everyone does not know it. Provide some evidence to back up the claim, please.
Your list of fighters you say ducked... Once again, I'm discussing Spence and Crawford. I don't care about your list of whataboutthis, whataboutthat.

From where I sit, Spence has been taking on the more difficult fights. It's as simple as that.

Finally, regarding your '****** fools' comment. Going after the man and not his argument tends to make your own argument look weak.

This right here is probably the best response/argument I’ve read on this platform.

I always try to give people the benefit of doubt but it’s becoming increasingly difficult when you read certain comments. They’re either casuals or just have little knowledge about historical facts.
More important, their comments pretty much defines who they are as people.

[GhostofDempsey]

He'll throw 1,300 punches, and 1,100 of them will be jabs. If he isn't going to fight Charlo at 154, then I don't care about his eventual move there, unless of course Bud goes to 154 too.

[GrandpaBernard]

Eh Errol has the size to fight at middleweight.
