Comments Thread For: Mayweather Says Spence Should Not Be Fighting at 147: 'He Should Be Fighting at 160 or 168'

[Smash]

Spence should move to 160. All there is at 154 for him is another beat down by Spence.

he has already proved hes great at beating himself down

[brettWall]

So he's saying he's Al Haymon's alter ego. When they talk about Haymon, they should be thinking of him as well.

I think he's short of revealing he's the one who's been blocking the fight and he's tacitly crediting himself, probably addressed to Spence, "See I told you so, you're not beating Crawford."

No wonder his silence was deafening throughout the entire Spence/Crawford negotiations. I saw no comment from him what's been the reason why it's not getting made.

He was kind of right about the "me me me" part. In the same interview he was talking about if you're a part of AL Haymon then you're a part of Floyd Mayweather...

It's a fact, that Money Mayweather helped build the PBC brand with his marketability; Which in turn made Al Haymon a fortune. It's also the reason why Al Haymon has more than 200 clients/fighters in his stable. Everyone is attempting to make that Mayweather type of money with Al Haymon.

True. Notice Floyd led the vanguard both times to tell us when the fight wasn’t going to happen. But nowhere to be found when it got made (even though he said we’d hear from him first when it gets made). This is why Crawford credits Spence so much, for going against Sinclair and Hymen.

Expert assessment. Spence wants to continue, and it would suit him to move up to middleweight.

Spence will get knocked out if he fights above154. He hasn't been the same since the accident and he struggled to take Crawford's power at 147 and he is not a natural welterweight

I have no doubt Haymon and PBC are nothing without Mayweather's money.

[famicommander]

If he goes to 154 he'll just run into Crawford again. If he goes to 160 he can try to get fights against old man Lara, Danny Garcia whom he's already beaten, Gualtieri, Janibek, etc. Some soft titlists there.

I love both of those guys Crawford and Spence it’s good thing neither got killed in that ring mainly Spence because as you all know like Terrence said he is in the hurt business and again Spence seem slow and Crawford seem fast because Crawford was more mentally and physically prepared than Spence was 147 is not for Spence anymore if he wants to continue I suggest 160 or even 168 he is a competitor and if he gets beat he knows when to quit he gave us the fight we all wanted to see when wasn’t at his best but we wanted to see it and he could have gotten killed thank you EJ we love you for the game effort

If guys were fighting in the right weight class in the first place, the sport would be much better off and so would the fighters.
People underestimate how brutal the effects of cutting lots of weight are.

One thing Floyd did was never drain himself. He was happy to drain his opponents for good reason.
