But the guy is 23 what's the rush ? This is the time to be fighting mediocre guys and gradually step up competition is not that he would do badly but the guy hasn't even gone 12 rounds yet he should be allowed to develop a bit i seen 2 very promising prospects i liked of the top of my head that got broken down because they got thrown into the fire too quickly.
I'm not saying to do it.... I guess I wrote it wrong more so asking if u think he can beat some of the champs or contenders at his weight class.
He gave Floyd a black eye and KOed Broner so yes he can do it.
The Cubans have been rushed cause they turned pro so late and they all have come thru. Rigo, Lara and Gamboa. Unless you're talking about someone else...

Yeah, pretty much, a lot of them are not young and have to take a riskier path and may burn out before reaching prime: Despaigne, Jhonson (ran into dark horse), Ugas, Solis, all guys with title potential IMO, if moved correctly. Some of them screwed themselves also, like Gamboa, Solis, and especially Franco, wtf was that?

Someone like Despaigne I don't think was ever gonna make it, he was too old. Listen, Gamboa didn't reach his full potential but he made it. He was unified by the time he had 20 fights and he also made the P4P list. Solis is just a fat boy... Besides Molina who got a better resume than Lara at 154? And Franco was just living off of that win over Gamboa in the AMs.
Rigo's amateur background and shear volume of fights makes putting him on the fast track much more viable. Spence is VERY talented but he needs to develop more than Rigo did. To reach elite level, you HAVE to get comfortable fighting ANY style and type of fighter. Spence has the tools to deal with ANY fighter who steps in the ring with him...he just needs the experience and he needs to get it before being thrown in with top tier guys.
Here is his most recent fight. Look at the body work. He recognized right away homie didn't like the body shots at all and just ripped this guy to the body over and over again. The guy was clearly a bum, but again, it's the WAY he's winning. He's winning intelligently.
