Comments Thread For: Robert Garcia: Errol Spence Jnr 'has nothing left'

[Moz_boxing]

Once upon a time Tszyu would have been considered as a tune up for someone like Spence. People forget to who Spence lost, a dynamic power punching boxer with brilliant footwork IQ and Ring generalship.
Tszyu has nothing of the above and the one thing we thought he is, a unbreakable warrior was exposed to be not true. Hate or love Spence but he took his beating against Crawford like a men Tszyu on the other hand was broken and quit against Fundora and he did not look the same since then.

If Spence has anything left he stops Tszyu in dominant fashion Tszyu is actually a tailor made straight forward opponent for Spence without any special effects. Spence beat way better fighters than Tszyu and Tszyu on the other hand lost to worse fighters than Spence even though style make fights Tszyu is neither on the level of Spence nor does he possess a style that give Spence problems. Again if he can't beat Spence he is truly shot shot.

I'd rather see Spence take a lower top 15 fighter to see where he is at first. There has to be some reason why he won't and I think it is because he is not what he once was and is feeling it and is in it only for the payday to finally retire. But if his heart really is in it and his body follows and he looks great, that would be awesome. He would have a book quality story to tell if he could win a title after what he has been through in life. My guess is the odds will slightly favor one or the other or the late money will come in based on how each fighter looks in training and it may be even in the odds. I wouldn't be comfortable betting on either fighter.

Tszyu is a low top 15 fighter. Not ranked in the top 10 by the Ring and received one sided beatdowns on the world level. Again Tszyu is the perfect tune up test for Spence stylewise and level wise a 70 percent Spence will play with and stop Tszyu. If Spence is completely shot and has nothing left this fight will be competetive and can go either way.

Wrong. He is rated top 6 by the WBC, 8 by the IBF, etc. The Ring magazine doesn't provide title fights or set mandatories or rank fighters in a manner that exclusively puts fighters into a contending position, the organizations do. There are many other fighters in the lower top 15, anyone with any sense knows that Tszyu is rated much higher. Do your research next time. And there is no such thing as 70%, 50%, 30%, that is not even a quantifiable number, anymore than 33%, 58%, 72% is. He will either be at, near, or way below what he was prior to the destruction he has faced with the crash, years off, his age, etc.

I got Spence seeing stars in the outback. I want to say Tim is more active, but getting up off the mat doesnt count. Tim is bigger and Spence couldnt KO a blown up Mikey, that and the hometown edge.

I agree with him.

Spence is DONE.

If he still wanted to fight, he would've done it before now.

Once I saw him with the dreads, I knew it was over.

[WTFNOOO]

-----------------
A rumored guaranteed $6 million is not ridiculous to Spence or most of the pro boxers.

So if there's enough money involved nothing else matters?

You would have enjoyed Joshua-Paul then.

He had one really bad loss against a generational talent but dominated every other fight he was in so with the inactivity IDK. He could come in to the fight looking really good.

[Gary Coleman]

I'll say this, it was painful watching him throw lead lefts on the mitts with Ronnie Shields.

Tszyu would've been great if he had another corner and people around him. He has all the attributes to be great, he just needed a great trainer and a good corner.

Robert Garcia would've made a diamond out of this kid.

This could end up being like Anthony Mundine vs Shane Moseley or even worse like Danny Green vs RJJ.
