    a bit ridiculous. Spence is an olympian who has won decisively against multiple world level opponents, whilst Hurd was a decent amateur in the DMV area, who QUIT boxing, and had to be convinced to return to it to go pro. Hurd also barely edged out his unification bout with old man Lara by scoring a KD in the championship rounds....He is what we think he is....a blue collar fighter that overachieved.

    Weight bully is a ridiculous concept in itself....you have fighters that make weight and fighters who don't....

        I imagine we will hear something about Spence’s plans shortly.

          Spence is far more skilled than Hurd. Hurd's defense is his face.

            Not really. Stink jab, mechanical output. Only thing he does more than Hurd is attack the body.

              Man, Thurman's even less motivated than Spence.

              He hasn't done a damn thing in 5 years and is basically retired.

                  That was basically Hatton when he couldnt make 140 anymore. He was talking for YEARS about going to 147 but found he ****** without a massive weight advantage

                    Hurd started looking bad before he made the jump to 160. He didn't look good in his stoppage win against Wellborn then he lost to J-Rock in his next fight and failed to impress against a journeyman after that.

                    From what I understand, Hurd had some things going on in his personal life with his girlfriend and then the loss of his father. While he's looked bad since he moved up, the decline started well before that.
