Both recently badly beaten. Yet Tszyu has remained active, Spence, not so much. Errol has had long layoffs between fights for many years. His latest being 3 years. Pauli Malignaggi suggested long layoffs aided in doping. No such accusations about Tszyu. Tszyu should put a doping test clause in the contract, to test both boxers 12, 8 and 4 weeks out.

How would the fight go? Tszyu walking forward trying to b-ang.(why is the word b-ang censored here?) Spence copying Murtazaliev and countering with left hooks when Tszyu fails to retreat, standing in no mans land after throwing combinations.

Spence boxes early countering on the move. Settles down and lays traps that Tszyu just cant help himself falling into. Spence KO Tim by 6-7-8th round.

Tim and Spence are on a collision course for... a cash grab! That's all this is. Spence retired because of injuries and didn't have the hunger anymore after the beating/schooling Bud gave him. Did he spend all his money? The wife wants him out of the house? He's bored? For Tim, it's another story; he wants to continue to make money, but for that he needs to be relevant, which means fighting established names without getting beat up again.

At this stage in his life other than perhaps just not going out on a (bad) loss, what's the point of Spence fighting again unless, like #3 states, he needs the $$$ and it's a money grab? He was already seriously diminished by lifestyle, injuries, extended weight cutting and the subsequent thrashing by Bud. At 36, after a three year layoff, and going up a weight, he isn't beating the top guys at 154 and the potential is there for further life changing damage. So what is the point??

Tim should do this easily if the team has addressed the leaky defense.

Three years is too long a layoff, this fight is all about being a spectacle. Fair play to both men I hope the make a lot of money

Spence vs Tim is a good fight and we’ll see what’s really left of both sides but Spence due to him being American and at a higher level more is expected so can he produce is the question and I can’t see either facing Thurman because I will bet Fundora will prevail without difficulty too!

Tim rimes with leaky defence, that's his style! He comes forward with no head movement, thinking he's invincible like some sort of aussie Robocop.

Perfect fight for Spence return. Tsyu comes forward with pressure and thats exactly what Spence needs. Theres no weight drain issues so i expect The truth to serve out a whooppin and then spank Jermell Charlo next
