Is Errol Spence jr. the new WW boogieman?

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

I woundnt call him the boogieman just no one has to face him yet, let him get a strap and lets see how much he is avoided.

Errol Spence, Jr. is a serious contender, but people are already starting to give him the Jeff Lacy treatment. He could do with taking on a couple of top 20 fighters, step up his level of opposition. He could look flawless in victor over someone like Andre Berto or Brandon Rios. It scares me though, to think what someone like Lamont Peterson or Jessie Vargas would do to him. He certainly isn't ready for the top 5 yet.

Porter seems like the type who wouldn't duck anyone. Hopefully we can get Porter-Spence.

Porter's dad was asked about Spence, he seemed real hesitant. He doesn't want his boy getting worked

Gotcha. Well if he can't get a Shawn Porter in the ring with him...then maybe he will be pretty avoided....

That would be an awesome matchup.

Errol would likely engage more than Thurman did, making for a more exciting fight, and it would be a great test for Spence.

Not yet. As much as I hate hearing from other fighters he hasn't accomplished anything I can understand why they wouldn't want to fight him without a belt on the line. If they keep saying that after he wins the belt then I'll agree

Yes he is the welterweight boogieman quite similar to GGG. None of the welterweight champions or top contenders will fight him for any reasonable amount of money because they are afraid of losing to him or getting knocked out. I think their fear is justified because he is that good. He will beat any welterweight and his hardest task will be to get them to sign the contract. Just like GGG in the middleweights.Will Bradley, Brook,Pacquiao, Thurman, Garcia or Vargas fight Spence? I doubt it.

But if none of the current champions agree to fight him then he will never be able to win a belt to put on the line. It's frustrating to me to see the guy I think is the best welterweight in the world be a permanent contender while lesser welterweights than him hold the world titles.

To get a strap someone who has a strap has to fight him. So far all of the strap holders have turned him down flat in spite of his number 1 ranking.

Actually he isn't ranked 1st by every place. Boxrec has him 7th, the IBF has him 1st, the WBA has him 4th and the WBO has him 3rd. Still with 21 straight wins and 18 KOs and having beaten some good fighters he is a worthy challenger for any of the current champions. I know all the champion have good fights now so I hope Spence gets his chance to be a champion in the near future.
