I don't think he's lost it, I just wonder at this point if the conditioning to fight off Tzyyuu's pressure can last a whole fight. Especially if he's getting hit. But I believe Spence will box and outclass him and win convincingly.

This fight has so many question marks attached to it. Either way it goes, I really hope Spence can perform and give a good showing of himself. His body looks great, muscular. If his head and heart is in the right place, it could be a genuine comeback.

I wouldn't say that I'm doubting Spence because there are way too many unknowns. When a guy doesn't fight for a long time those first few punches are going hurt extra because your body isn't used to it. I know boxing is a very brutal sport and your body and mind needs time to recover. That being said, He's had 3 fights in 6 years which is just throwing your career away. You maybe have 15 years as a pro, possibly 20, depending on how well you take care of yourself. I think when Spence and the Charlos are in their 60s they're going look back and regret not being active enough.

The Errol Spence who defeated Kell Brook would take Tim Tszyu apart. However, that Errol Spence is long gone. Tim is no Bud Crawford, but he doesn't need to be, Bud already took Errol's soul. This is a hard one to call as we don't know what ES has left in the tank, but my feeling is it's not much. I don't buy Errol's dental excuse for his slurred speech and I don't think he has many fights left before he speaks fluent James Toney unfortunately. This fight has the feeling of a two car wreck-race where both could end up in the scrapyard.

if spence is even half of what he was, he will have no problem with tszyu, tszyu shouldnt have gambled on a washed out spence, because he doesnt know what spence will show up if it is a game spence who was better than fundora and bakhram in his prime, then tszyu is a goner. spence chews up fighters who have little to no head movement,

I can't predict this fight because who knows which Spence shows up. A 50% Spence wrecks Tim but is he even 50%?

This is lose-lose for Timmy. If he wins, he beat a washed up boxer. If he loses, he lost to a washed up fighter

A 50% Spence gets knocked out. He has to be almost what he was to win the fight, age is not forgiving. And if Spence beats him, he is not washed up. Washed up fighters don't win comebacks against contenders, they fade into oblivion. If Zoo loses, he lost to a fighter who had a lot more left than what people thought.

It's a good fight for both, but when you look deeper, is a win for either guy somewhat overrated? Spence Jr. beating Tim means all the damage he's accummulated has finally caught up to him. He took serious damage vs Fundora 2x and then against Murtawhatever. Spence only really took a beating vs Crawford, so overall, he may be the less damaged fighter. Though then he's coming off the layoff to even things out.

If Tszyu wins, people will say, this was a ring rusted, formerly beat up by Crawford opponent who hadn't fought in 3 years. If Spence Jr. wins, Tszyu has been already taking too much punishment and couldn't do it again.

Either way, FUN WHILE IT LASTS!

Sad to think how many boxers have wasted their potential and careers due to inactivity. It was like yesterday I remember Spence being 19/20 yo and thought he is going places. Now he’s 36!!!! His career is done and it could have been much much better. Sad really
