Comments Thread For: 'It's now or never' for Errol Spence Jr.

Yea, less than a year after fighting at 160, getting his face smashed and surgery to repair it, Spence fought him at 147. There's just no way to think that was the best or even a pretty good version of Brook. Anyone trying to say it was must really be wanting to believe.

I watched kells whole career Spence was just a bad matchup for him. Too punishing at that time. Spence broke his other orbital not the one ggg broke and the leg stabbing was years before like foh with that.

Weren't no Kell Brook in no prime when he fought Errol Spence lol.

He'd had half his leg hacked almost off with a machete, recovered from that & then got his orbital smashed by GGG. Errol did the other one.

I stand corrected. Brook was in his prime before he fought GGG. He should have never taken that fight. And then fighting Spence next, hurt his career.

Nah Brook was better than Porter he took his title from him in Vegas. Spence stopping Brook in England when they were both in their primes was legendary. By the time he fought Porter he had declined due to his lifestyle and Porter had lost to Brook thurman and was given a more than generous decision against Ugas. The Spence that had fought Brook would’ve punished Porter. He barely eeked out a decision. IMO he never really caught the magic of the Brook fight again in his career…the Crawford fight was his chance but he clearly doesn’t have it anymore. I think he kind of knows that now.

Imo, Spence would have lost badly to Crawford at any point in their careers. Styles make fights and Spence is tailor made for Bud.

While I agree that Brook was in his prime when he fought Spence, Spence was not

Are you kidding? Spence was never more at his prime than he was that night against Brooks.

I disagree.

Errol's best performance to me was the Peterson fight.

He looked like Ivan Drago in that.

I respect that and for the most part I agree with you. The Spence that would’ve done the best would’ve been the guy who beat Brook tho

I do agree with this but these fights were his prime. A fighters prime lasts a few years not for one fight lol

I lost respect for Spence when he tried to freeze Crawford out before they fought....AND then again this whole time after they fought. Coward and spiteful stuff.

I have tremendous respect for him when he beat Brooks and Porter. Shame what money and ego does to a person.

Me too.

It's "now or never"?
I doubt there's a "never" part. He has to come back and continue making money. He still has to settle his money issues with his ex-trainer. Spencer is getting tight with money. No wonder he was complaining about the cost of sanctioning fees in his presscon with Crawford.
