    Yeah they do, that’s why I was wondering if they’d fight. Who else is there for Spence at 154 aside from Jermell.
    Probably Sebastian Fundora.


    Keith Thurman is not the same man he used to be years ago, he recently got hurt to the body by Barrios a 140 fighter, why would he take such a risk in fighting Errol Spence in a higher weight class who be rehydrating up to 170-180 unless he was in for the paycheck and retire like Shawn Porter.

      What the hell is this for, besides Keith's last desperate big paycheck attempt? It has zero meaning. Plus he doesn't deserve it at this point. So ****** how boxing puts up these farce fights. I truly hope it falls apart because it makes no sense at all for anyone other than Keith Thurman.

        I like Fundora but he’s nowhere as big a fight as Crawford, Jermell etc. If he won’t fight Jermell that’s probably his best option though. Tszyu pulling off the upset would help him out.

        Thurman is just cashing out IMO.

            Stylistically the match up would be barn burner considering that despite that Fundora is ginormous, thrives fighting in the phone booth. I think people are willing to pay PPV to watch Errol Spence attempt to dismantle such a big contender to the body which no one so far has really pulled it off.

            Though I am aware that he is no a big name like let's say Crawford but I doubt that fight will ever happen, plus Jermell also trains under James Derrick and plans to move over to middleweight even if his brother sticks around on the same division.

              I guess your saying that cause of Charlo.

              Spence can move up to 154

              Cause by the time he does I see Jermell moving up to 160

              And Jermall will then go to 168 cause his career just resolves around waiting for the Canelo payday and that ain't never happening at 160. Go to 168 and he might have a chance of the payday finally coming in 2024 or 2025

                Al's kids got 154 on lock. Is Tszyu with Al too?

                  Its only a matter of time b4 Fundora's lankyas.s get lawnchaired. Even though he made Lubin look like he had encephalitis, he was gettin tagged and hurt in that fight too. Maybe Harrison,

                    Yes, but that wouldn't stop them from fighting. Just like it didn't stop Jacobs and Derevyanchenko from fighting, even though they have the same trainer.

                    In this situation, Derrick James would be training Spence, Even though Charlo has been trained by James, he has also added on Joan Guzman as his assistant trainer. Guzman would most likely be bumped up to main trainer for that fight

                      Stylistically, I think Fundora is the one of the fighters who brings the most problems to Errol at 154, to beat Fundora you need to outbox him as Sergio Garcia has demonstrated, no matter how good Errol Spence is that's not his forte, he specializes on hunting and breaking down his opponents.

                      It is true that Lubin had hurt him and made him take the knee, but Spence doesn't have the power that Lubin possesses even if he is fundamentally better and way more accomplished. throughout Fundora's fights few opponents attempted and nobody really succeeded to hurt him to the body.

                      It is also true that Spence stopped Ocampo to the body and Fundora went the distance, but that fighter is a different altogether compared to five years ago and Errol Spence is no longer at his prime unable to takeout Mikey Garcia, Shawn Porter and Danny Garcia.

                      Also he got a competitive fight and got rocked by the likes of Yoerdenis Ugas until the knockout who I consider less difficult than Sebastian Fundora.
