    As I said, the night Manny was koed by Torrecampo would you think he could take elite WWs power, if the weight was a big issue Spence could be a lot different at higher weights, Cotto went up and won 154 and 160 tites, weight drained from non drained makes a lot difference, not saying he was but we will see its not an open and shut case.

      pre-accident, i may give him a chance.

      but against a true real middleweight, his body will be unable to handle the damage

        Cotto was not good at 154. he clearly lost to prime Trout and he beat some journeymen and old version Margarito in a rematch. And Cotto never really won 160 title, he beat drained Martinez at a catchweight. Martinez was like a zombie.

        Cotto`s best weight was clearly 140 -147.

          That wasn't the question, the night Torrecampo stopped Manny would you believe Manny can take the power of elite WWS.

            It's too late for that now, Spence was severely damaged in his last fight by Crawford.
            It was pitiful to watch him cringe in pain from virtually every shot that Crawford landed on him.
            Spence has made more than enough money to retire to a life of luxury, and I'm hoping he does retire.

              The rematch will be more competitive at 154

                LIke I said, and nothing against Spence, but even at 41 it would be GGG-Brook all over again.

                  spence does not have the power to be successful at 160-168... you's crazy if you think otherwise... spence aint even a hard puncher at 147!!! spence aint dropping mofos like inoue or making mofos scared to fight how they usually fight... i mean crawford pretty much ran thru spence like a **********! and crawford was fighting cautious against guys like postol, getting dropped by no namerAvanesyan.. spence is also not a slick boxer so add the fact in that his power wont be effective at 160-168, which lead to my comment "he's gonna get killed"..

                      Pac, Loma and mayweather all cut very little water and all had great stamina for it.
                      why did Mayweather need the i.v. drip then?
