This would be great. I'm a big Spence fan.

You ain't a true fan if you don't see what they are trying to do. He's young and needs to continue to stay active and sharpen his craft. He looks great,but he's stepping high on a ladder facing a real power puncher in Thurman. This aint no video game.

Floyd the matchmaker, funny since it's hypocritical. Does Spence have a country behind him?? Thurman been dominating, where was Spence in 2011?? If Thurman wins,nobody will give him credit..etc etc etc

Why are they trying to push Errol so fast into the upper class of 147, yet the marinate other fighters for years? Errol have a chance to jump ship or something?

Btw I like Errol a lot, but he needs his fights against a collazo, diaz, Paulie. From the outside looking in Floyd don't give a damn about Errol,the same for Thurman

Floyd promos is good at getting their guys big fights. They really suck at handling their prospects though.

Spence havent fought a top 20 fighter yet....but all of a sudden he wants him to fight a top 147 fighter....same a fighter alot of people want Floyd to fight....And Why da fck would Thurman Accept thiis fight...Spence is a HIGH RISK NO REWARD fight...

[hitking]

My theory on moving a prospect has always been, if he can fight, he can fight. But, this would be a huge step up in class for Spence. Personally, I'd like to see him fight a guy like Guerrero or Berto before jumping in with a Thurman or a Porter.

Porter vs Spence would be a great test for Spence! Set it up!

Yes and the fact that those fighters ain't developed to that stage yet... Which is why I'm in awe on how TR does it time after time. I always thought it couldn't be that hard but from watching GBP and PBC/Mayweather promotion it makes me respect them even more.

I look at Vargas who Floyd gave up on, see how TR has re branded him and now has a big fight with Bradley at 147. He's as good as he's gonna get going into it.

Like bruh said...this aint no video game.....Spence looks good but he needs to fight somebody like Berto, Lopez, Ortiz,Alexander,

If they match Spence with Thurman after matching him with Collazo.....Its clear they dont giva shlt about Thurman and his career....

Yep, makes me think do they have a hidden agenda against Errol? Again, I don't see Floyd doing this at 140/147 when he made his ascension .

Thurman is young,strong, solid boxer and is in his prime. This makes absolutely no sense for Errol or Keith at this time.

Thurman said he'll fight anyone anytime. Now a real opponent wants to fight him, not freaking Bundu or Collazo.

This is an amazing fight, where anything could happen. I have a feeling Thurman will pu$$y out though.

Porter Spence is not a great fight. Porter is a midget of a welterweight, and his style sucks.

Spence Thurman is where its at.

[thack]

Floyd needs to concentrate on getting a good undefeated opponent for himself .
