Yea because Golovkin is a rising prospect without his first belt. I swear, if some of you would think before you say ****** ****, this place would be so much better off. Spence being ordered to fight Bundu isn't Spence's fault. Blame the IBF.

It's likely that Errol Spence will have to move into the mandatory challenger position in order to force the hand of reigning welterweight titlist Kell Brook. The trick is finding a willing opponent to help get him to that point.

Another lackluster opponent for Spence. The IBF must really have a ton of chumps in the ratings. Bundu was old when Thurman fought him. What is he like 85 years old now?

Wrong Ponamorov coach after the win on Brad Solomon made the comments we are 5 more fights away from a title match, See they not rushing this kid to a title match

he claimed he has a hand injury........dude give me a break. guy doesn't want spence.

Dude Canelo started boxing at age 13 and turned pro at 15 and started fighting grown azz men with no head gear. Had less amateur experience and was pushed up facing better pro fighters faster then Spence has been despite his amateur and Olympic experience. Look at lomachencho and how fast he moved as a pro and he's only a year or two younger. Spence is not some young pup or inexperience fighter he's 26 and faced world class fighters at the amateur and olmypics. and how the phuk is 1 fight with Bundu going to change a thing? Either he is ready to fight guys like Brook now or he isn't. If your point is he is too inexperienced (which he's not) and needs another year or 2 to fight Brook, Thurman, Porter, Khan, ect that's one thing. But that's not what you are saying. It's just a pointless stay busy fight against a bum bundu.

Spence needs a bigger jump up in the caliber of fighters then Bundu. I'm not even saying his next fight has to be Thurman for the title. But here is a BIG gap between Brook, Thurman, Porter and Bundu lol. He could at least fight a top 10 contender between that gap. One top 10 contender at the age of 26 with Spence's olympic background is not asking for too much and definitely not pushing him too fast.

Dear lord.

Canelo 46 amateur fights Spence 64.

Canelo a pro for 10 years Spence 3 1/2 years

Canelo 49 pro fights Spence 20

First guy that Canelo fought that was even remotely close to Algieri? Being generous would be Jose Cotto in his 33rd fight after nearly 5 years as a pro.

How the hell can you possibly use Canelo to **** on Spence?

Also you bring up Loma who had what, 400 amateur fights? Plus the world series of boxing fights, which he had like 10. Also as good as Loma is, look what happened when he got in there with a savy veteran in Salido. Talent only takes you so far. There is no substitute for expirience. Amateur and pro are vastly different games.

The fact that you think the expirience from fighting different styles against solid opponents is meaningless for a fighter on the come up is quite worrisome.

But why is he calling out Brook when Haymon has the deepest stable at welterweight and controls 2 belt holders. Shouldn't those be the easiest fights to make? Brook will be a tough fight to make because of politics and agenda from Brook's promoter. I thought the point of haymon having all these guys was supposed to eliminate stop gaps and make these fights easy to make. Spence don't call the shots he was steered to the IBF mando and that's why he is calling out Brook. But why wasn't he steered to WBC (owned by Garcia) or WBA (owned by Thurman) if it's all about forcing a mando?

The reason he called out Brook was because he's ranked #2 for the belt that Brook holds...

He's basically #2 behind Bradley for the WBO belt, since Manny is retired.

The WBC and the WBA have him ranked 5 & 7....

Khan will probably fight Danny next, since Khan's ranked 1. Thurman or Porter will have to fight avanesyan. So unless Brook or Vargas fight Bradley next, which is possible, the quickest route to a title for Spence is via the ibf. Even if the unified champ fought Bradley next, Spence would become the mandatory afterwards.

It seems pretty cut and dry to me. It's not haymons fought, you should blame the organizational rankings.

Canelo was a amateur at what 15 and didn't fight at the same high elite amateur level that Spence did from age 18 to 22. So Canelo's 46 does not compare to Spence's 64. There are guys who had 100+ amateur fights but not at the same level fighting Spence did or internationally. It's not about the number of fights it's the quality and level of the fights. Canelo basically skipped his amateur career to fight as a pro and make money. His first 30 fights were very low caliber fighters as he was a teenager learning to fight on the job as his body grew from teenager to a man. Spence doesn't need that because he learned to fight in amateurs and in the olympics where he was the highest touted and most skilled fighter on his team. If Canelo had that and turned pro as a man in his 20's would not of NEEDED 5 years fighting bums before he stepped up his competition. So why does Spence need that?
