Errol Spence is "da future".........? not so fast

[Gassed Out]

A lawn mower guy? Hes won ten fights in a row, he just beat Prescott and Cayo. You just said you wanted him to fight a prospect. This is a solid opponent for Spence, it's a four star fight on boxrec. It's solid progression for Spence, just easily beat Vargas and now fighting Garcia on the Broner/Porter undercard. This is the proper way to move up a guy who just turned pro two years ago.

Ok, he's a bum who put together a lil winning streak. Why are you biggin' up this bum? foh

Lol some step up that is

It is a step up and this is the proper way to bring young talent up. He's not going the Gary Russell Jr or Deontay Wilder route so I'm not sure why people are complaining here.

It's a good thing some of you guys aren't boxing manager's, some of you would have young talent shot by the time they're 25 lol. Suggesting he fights Maidana next and **** wtf!

Hits hard, is fast, shaky chin and defense. Not much of a hype train for him either although OP is always thinking about a Black guy. Spence may yet be the goods but I'm not betting on it.

Eh? Based on what? He's shown decent enough defence from what I've seen from him so far and I haven't seen him hurt yet?

He's got a narrow face so I suspect IMDAZED may be right.

I'm not bigging him up I'm calling it what it is - a step up in competition.

First you suggested he fights Maidana next (which is insanely ******ed on multiple levels) and then suggested he fights a prospect. Well he's fighting a seasoned veteran who isn't a bum by any means (a bum is a guy off the street, like Deontay Wilder's early opponents) which is on par if not better than fighting some random prospect.

Point is Spence is moving in the right direction - competition is getting better and by the looks of things will continue that way. I'd expect to see him fight for a title within one year if he continues to look good. Again, look at the guys Thurman was fighting the first few years of his career. In comparison, Spence is already moving up faster than him.

Building up young talent is tricky business - you don't want to move them too fast and you also don't want them in with nothing but soft opposition. The match maker needs to know the fighter well, know when to step him up at the right time and what kind of fighters he needs experience against, etc. By the looks of things, Spence is moving in the right direction. People need to just chill and wait for the kid and watch him progress.

I think Spence should fight Bundu after Garcia.

He's got a narrow face so I suspect IMDAZED may be right.

lol these head shape/chin shape theories are bollocks.

We don't know how good his chin is until it gets tested by a respectable level of opponent.

Why are you defending cherry picking?

If Spence is busting up Mayweather in sparring and KO'ing Broner in Mayweather's gym, let him fight the top guys. Stop protecting him. Spence himself said he would body Keith Thurman so match em up

[GRIP STACCIN]

werent yall impressed when it was rumored he knocked out broner in sparring??lmao, and supposedy gave floyd a blakc eye

but now u guys hate him agian,,,wonder why

[GRIP STACCIN]

btw,,u forgot to mention hes a great body puncher with great [ower,

He looks good, but so do a lot of fighters when they're fighting bums and easy opponents. I think they'll start throwing in stiffer competition at him next year so we'll see.
