    Why is Thurman so quiet? I think there must be a chance that the Spence fight gets done or otherwise he'd be on social media saying Errol has bottled it.

      Probably has to sign an NDA and an NDA that covers talking about signing an NDA or an NDA existing. Haymon would definitely do that.

          Bad thing is he's not built for it. Chin is weak and power won't translate, which is exactly why he's been at 47.

            Chin isn't weak in my opinion. Majority of boxers, if caught while not looking, will get rocked. Doesn't matter who they are.

            His power might not but also could. He's not a fast twitch power puncher. His power is the kind like Duran, GGG, Foreman. Those guys with heavy hands whose power hits the same from 1 to 12. But I admit, as guys get bigger, he might not break down guys the same way anymore.

              I think Spence is much better than Hurd ever was pound for pound, which will enable him to have more success in his second weight class. But it would have been epic to see prime Hurd vs Spence at 154lbs.

                My h8m8 cousin Raul (raw) was a great rassler in his youth

                he ate ice cubes

                then he got big and got dominated by palomino at my high school

                he then went to the navy and started svcking kok

                now he teaches at some school in LA

                shaping minds

                    Hurd was an overachiever with a huge size advantage. Spence was a blue chipper from the start of his pro career, off the mark comparison.

                      I followed Spence since the amateurs. Who fought in his natural weight of 69kg which is 152 pounds. Think about it, if he never got hyped by Floyd like he did =---> do you really think Spence's fan base would be anywhere near as it is right now? His resume is very lacklustre.
