For his age, amateur background, talent - Spence has been moved painfully slow. There's really no excuse either. Spence has the Haymon hook-up. Money and tv dates are not an issue, so getting decent opponents shouldn't be a problem.
As mentioned, guys like Karass, D.Chaves, Alexander, Bundu, R.Guerrero, Collazo, R.Robinson, Vasquez, Bizier, Ion, Algeri should've all been offered on the menu by now. He calls out Thurman and when Thurman walks, he goes back to fighting complete no-hopers...
I thought Haymon should've pushed hard to make Spence/Khan. Spence would've won that easy and it would've catapulted him to the top instantly.
What makes u think Khan would take a fight like this and make almost nothing instead of fighting Brook or Thurman for much more money and almost the same risk?
So guys like julian williams got to fight tough fights coming up but spence fights bums that pbc fans are dedending as a top 10 welter (van heerden)
When we all know that guy isnt top 20 in reality. . Chris van heerden is a cab driver.
He is equal to marco antonio rubios sparring partners.
These smhs defending a guy who called out thurman thinking he deserved a title shot but wont fight guys like ghost or alexander or .but martinez and that jap fighter will.

Knowing Khan and the way he dropped out of the 1st Alexander match, he probably would duck Spence. But my point is Haymon should've pushed for it so he could build Spence into a star.
Spence is a humble dude who wouldn't call out Khan like alot of guys. Even with the Thurman thing, that was Floyd talking as he was deflecting Thurman off himself so he could fight Berto.

But chris van heerden is a top 10 welter doe
I like J-Rock, and he is willing to fight the top guys, but he hasn't taken any tough fights outside of Centeno. Edwards likes to spin they match J-Rock up tough, but they've kept him to a certain style of fighters. PBC fighters are keeping a soft diet. Compare that to 23 year-olds Antoine Douglass and Arif Magomedov who have been fighting tough fights.
I don't have anything against Spence. His style is just fine, not boring to watch. But I think he can test himself with the guys I already mentioned, Collazo, Bundu, Karass, Guerrero, Lopez...
Why doesnt spence get any shht like golovkin does ??
He is still fighting TBAs
Golovkin is fighting top 10 middleweights
He does from me Haymon spoon feeds his fighter than look for the weakest of the 4 Champs than they make title defenses against sub par opposition Example Wilder, Broner
