    Spence has only been a pro for two years, an opponent like Algeri would be perfectly fine. Algeri's last loss was to Khan on points in a fight that he was competitive in. I know Spence has received high praise from his peers but he's still relatively new to the professional ranks.
    And as with Vasyl Lomachenko, Spence would do well to take a fight that would be competitive without making him look foolish.

    Everyone's praising the dude like the next coming. He's skilled, but as we saw with Lomachenko, all it takes is a dirty (experienced) fighter to take that "0".

    Spence/Algieri would do something else: it would test how good Spence is with a fighter that we know is effective at staying on the move. If Chris outpoints Spence then we know he's not ready. And yes, Algieri essentially exposed Amir Khan; he's more than deserving.

            Algieri is a solid fighter and would've been a good opponent for Spence at this point in his career.
            GGG is 35 look at that resume...

              Yep, he ran into a guy that didn't fold immediately under his power. This fight is exactly what he needs to keep him motivated and hungry. I like that he maintained his focus after things didn't go perfectly, he ate some good shots but stayed the course and earned the stoppage.

                  Old enough to face PAC @ 154! If 154 was the weight GGG said he would drop down to for Floyd, should be good for PAC too!

                  Make it happen! Or fight Malinaggi

                    Algieri re-exposed khan! Let Chris get in ther and present the risk of being out boxed!

                      He mentioned every possible opponent I want to see him against. Can't blame them for not fighting him. He is like Floyd before being on PPV. Very high risk low reward. I can't wait until he gets a title shot because you know he won't duck anyone. PBC is what a guy like him needs.
