Comments Thread For: Spence On Avoiding Tuneups: "It Shouldn't Take Another Fight For Me To Be Sharp and On Point"

[wrecksracer]

I'll believe Spence can still make 147 when I see him make 147. All that talk about a November fight last year when he was nowhere close to making 147

Spence has indicated that Ray Robinson and a host of other greats did it all wrong. His view on tune-ups aside, I'm very clear on his role as champion and his job overall. Too bad he's playing "Jack Dempsey". At this rate the next two years should fly by.

I’m on record in Oct 2022 revealing Jr Spence was weighing 188 LB’s at that time and couldn’t fight at 147 until at least July 2023… AND STILL.. NO DISPUTED COMMENTS
who ducked who???

Unlike Crawford; Errol wants all the smoke with the best competition available. He wants to make and fight all the big names out there.
This is what separates him from most champions out there like Canelo and Crawford. Likewise, it was also the reason why he had been avoided and ducked for so many years.

F Spence. F Crawford

It's not fans or anyone's fault you people are taking too much time off. You should never have privilege of being accorded time-wasting tuneups and the added reward of having instant excuse when you struggle or lose in your fights.

You should be penalized, instead, by paying fines.

Hopefully Spencer doesn't run from negotiations again

You know, you can't change history just by stating a lie. We all witnessed who left negotiations to fight a crash dummy for a big check. All of the talking should be done, yet here we are. Spence just stated that he's starting to feel like he's being played. I 've said it from the beginning, Bud doesn't want that fight, he's not used to that type of work or brutality......Avanesyen, Khan, yeah, that's more like it.

And doing nothing at all works towards that end?

Not a lie. Spencer was gonna fight Thurman at 154 but the boxing world talked shlt and they had to pull back and beg Crawford to come back to the table and negotiate some more. The fight shoulda been done for November but Spencer and haymon kept wasting his time so Crawford did the smart thing and fought someone else

Meanwhile, Crawford broke his inactivity and made $$$ against a live, ranked contender. Its been almost six months and he's due to get back to work. Spence? Too busy staying mostly silent and pointing fingers, to say nothing about closing in on 14 months of zzzzzz......
