    Floyd's money and the money he brings in talks. To be honest I don't think there's going to be another fighter like Floyd that will be able to pull stunts like this off, not for a long time.

      No but he is with Haymon and Floyd is trying to take him under his wing. Floyd pretty much threw Broner to the side for his new project lol.

        I change my mind. Watching Spence and LoGreco left me a little less convinced. I want somebody to terrorize the division, but Errol has errors. Porter is just as bad as Thurman, and to go there after LoGreco? Khan, before Kell does it to him, better yet, Guerrero, easy to hit, hard to discourage. I Know it was only LoGreco, but Spence was careless, awkward (that means you don't know what you're doing), just wild enough to get in trouble.

          It seems like a conflict of interest for a boxer/promoter to relinquish one of his own titles to afford fighters on his promoted card the opportunity to fight for it.

            I really want to see Thurman Spence. Brook needs to get in and fight Thurman and Spence and as well.

            According to Thurman and Brook, they are the only real welter weights in the division, so why they should be fighting each other.

            Thurman has called out Brook, but Brook only fights bums or smaller fighters.

            I don't want to see Porter Spence. Porter is just okay, imo. Kinda ordinary skills.

            Spence Thurman, would be an amazing fight.

              They should have had Thurman vs Brook fight a few weeks ago with the winner getting Floyd in September.

                Also isn't Thurman the regular champion?

                  Porter is num 3 wba and spence is number 8. Thurman has the "world" title and floyd is super champ. Both of them will move up. Not sure who the hell Johan Perez is or TEERECHAI KRATINGDAENGGYM. They're both ahead of spence lol. Most likely we'll see porter thurman tho

                    All this talk of mayweather vs. Brook in Sept is nonsense. Outside of hardcore boxing fans absolutely nobody knows who brook is in the states. Even brooks own promoter said brook isn't a big enough name to get mayweather. Mayweather is just making khan sweat. Brook will most likely fight Rios in August on HBO, which will set up pacquiaos return fight next year against brook if he wins. If he doesn't win pacquiao will fight either Jesse Vargas if he wins or Terance Crawford. Then mayweather will fight pacquiao for his #50 and take another ass whipping except it will be worse this time because pacquiao will actually be healthy

                      I'm not rolling with the spence hype just yet. Gary Russell was the next big thing to and we see how that turned out. Let him actually fight some one worth while. Who can at least pose a threat. The more durable guys with equally fast hands a hard punch and good work rate could pose a problem for him. He telegraphs his punches some what to. Maybe it's just me.
