Are Spence's people maneuvering him away from Brook fight?

See? He has their belt and everything just under an alias.

LOL. WBC probably thought all black people looks the same.

It's possible. Spence used to be all over the social media having opinions on everything since his demolition of Bundu and Algieri as if he's Donald Trump. He's very quiet these days.

no, they are not

Apparently, the WBC is ordering Spence vs Bradley?...when previously, they didn't have Spence ranked. Weird. Everyone knows that Spence has been in line to fight Brook for the IBO for a while.

Either one of two things is happening here.

1. The WBC sees a lot of $ with Spence has their future champion and wants to build a relationship with him. Seems like a good idea from the WBC but why wouldn't they at least have him ranked before?

2. Spence's people (Al Haymon) think the Brook fight is too dangerous, especially since it would most likely take place in England against a huge 147 in his prime. Bradley is great, but on the downside of his career, and his chin isn't what it once was. This is a much safer fight for Spence.

This isn't a thread hating on Spence. I think Spence is the real deal and I think he would fight Brook with no problems. This is more about the motivations of Haymon and/or the WBC.

a potential Bradley-SpenceJr fight would be for the 2nd mandatory challenger to the WBC 147lb belt, after Amir Khan. With Garcia-Thurman happening in March, and Amir Khan looking for a fight to keep active with, you'd be looking at Erroll Spence Jr's WBC shot coming as soon as maybe Christmas 2017, but likely Spring 2018.

The Kell Brook IBF shot is set to go to bids by the end of February 2017 (with the relationship between Haymon and Hearn being what it is, and Spence being more than willing to travel, I doubt the fight even ends up at bid), with the fight easily likely to come off before the Spring (if Hearn's plan is still to stage, per a victory, Brook-Khan before Ramadan, dragging out the Spence mandatory defense is counterproductive).

: wbc disrespecting charlo and spence

NO, I think it might be their managers, basically making Khan and Spence switch places. Khan gets Brook for the IBF title while Spence Jr gets the chance to put himself in position for the winner of Thurman vs Garcia which is a even bigger fight for Spencer Jr here in the STATES!

The fact that the WBC not having him in the Top 10 already was always strange to me but he is #3 Now!
