    he was pulled out of the Pacquiao fight because of a detached retina, which is a serious injury that needs treatment immediately

    neurological damage is something thats a lot easier to disguise. his performance vs Danny and Ugas allowed his handlers to put their concerns aside due to this fight bringing in a lot of money

    these people only care about money, they don't care about the fighters

            Exactly what I was saying.

            He's clearly got issues at 33 when he cant even talk properly anymore.

            Obviously people will point to the crash and its probably part of the reason. Boxing will be too. Everyone is different. You don't necessarily need to be getting knocked out and beaten to end up punch drunk. some people have been knocked out plenty and sound perfectly lucid and some people just haven't got that capacity to take punches and have fights and sparring over the years without having problems.

            I know people don't want to say things like this because we want to give full credit to Bud and so we should, i think hes one of the most talented fighters you'll ever see in my opinion.. but I think you just have to look at the facts and realize something is really off with spence too. It can't be ignored.

              Doesn’t seem to different here.
              Porter:

              Danny:

              Ugas:


              Put him at 154 vs Tony Harrison and watch him be rejuvenated.

                Anything is possible but when youre on the end of a beating youre never going to look right, TC had too much speed power and accuracy, Errol was shocked shook and totally controlled, its the first time Errol has fought a fast accurate puncher and his basic style was just pedestrian and taken apart, anything is possible with Errols health as he has been through a lot I just think he met a guy that was so much better, if they are talking neurological effects from the car crash he needs to retire.

                  the writing is on the wall!!! that's why team spence pulled out of the pac fight... they feel spence would have taken more damage against pacman than with crawford.

                      Go away with this BS, Spence would have hurt Manny bad, he destroyed the guy that beat Manny easily,
