Comments Thread For: Spence: Brook Can Drop Out of Golovkin Fight, Face Me Instead

[deathofaclown]

Spence would sell well in the UK vs Brook.

Nobody here knows who Spence is, only people follow the sport closely.

It would do the same numbers as Brook v Jo Jo Dan or something, maybe a little more. I'm not saying they're similar level of fighter of course, but the British public don't know either of them.

People need to stop overestimating Spence's worth right now. He's still basically an unknown fighter outside of people who watch the sport religiously and the types that come on these forums.

Nobody is saying he isn't good but he's still not a known fighter in places like here. Far from it.

This is true. Spence is virtually unknown in the UK.

I follow boxing closely and I've been seeing him mentioned in articles and comments here for a while.

But if I only kept up with boxing via mainstream sports news reports in the UK, I would never have even heard of him.

There should be some sort of punishment for asking a fighter to drop out of a fight these type of things aren't right it's like in football you have to ask permission to talk to certain players.

Spence is in the wrong here and should either be fined or be handed a verbal warning of some sort.

I think Brook will end up vacating the WW title rather than defending against his mandatory Spence.

I expect Brook to move to 154 after GGG KHTFO!

I really think thurman would hurt this kid. He got hit a couple of times.

I think Thurman beats him too. I think Spence is a good young fighter, but Thurman is faster, better skilled, way more seasoned and has been in the heat of real fights. I think Spence can test and push Thurman but Thurman has that heart and desire to overcome all that.

Spence to me seems to get hit a little to easy and is not as fast as people think.

Thurman isn't the hardest to hit either

That's not happening, pal. Not like Errol Spence would drop out of a money fight to fight some 21 fight contender, either.

He negated everything Wlad does well. So yeah, he did a good job at doing what others couldn't do for a decade.

It wasn't pretty at all, but it was effective. Those two fighting as never going to be a good fight to watch but i felt Fury was stylistically wrong for Wlad.

Brook doesn't care about that IBF title. He was only using it as a bargaining tool, in order to cash out, by enticing Amir Khan to fight him in the U.K. Before eventually vacating it before moving up in weight .

However, when that didn't happened he changed his plans and decided to move up and cash out sooner against Golovkin. Also, since Amir Khan won't be fighting him anytime soon, then I don't ever expect him to campaign at the welterweight division again; Let alone defending its IBF title against Errol Soence, Jr.
