    He's the mandatory challenger for the IBF. He's guaranteed to get his shot at winning a belt.

      If Spence wins his belt I don't see him wasting time on tune ups. I can see Spence going right after one of the other champs.

          This ^^^ .A lot of the time these guys make aversions about their height or reach. For example Thurman is really 5"6 1/2. Spence is a legit 5"10 with a huge frame.

            Thurman and Garcia are fighting next year.

            Porter is available, Berto, Peterson, Alexander, Khan, plus the cab driver that beat Guerrero. Who else is there for him?

              But I keep hearing the same excuses. "Who has he fought?" "He's not well known," "He hasn't earned a big fight yet," "No financial incentive," etc. smfh

              How the fúck is he going to get famous enough to secure a big fight if none of the top WWs want anything to do with him?

              Has he fallen into that high risk/low reward trap that Golovkin's been in the last few years?
              This is a load of bollocks, not to mention Spences likely opponents are managed by the same man who runs his career. If those fights aren't getting made it's because his own manager doesnt give a ****.
