being a pro boxer SHOULD be a way of life. always be ready. always be in shape.

I feel bad for this kid being stuck in limbo with a long stretch of inactivity while the brook situation plays out. But then I remember that he is a haymon fighter and was specifically sent down this road going after fights to rise up IBF rankings to go after brook title. Which was pointless since haymon controls the other 2 belts and half the welterweights. If haymon wanted Spence to have a title shot he could of snapped his fingers and forced Thurman or Danny to give him one over the last year and a half rather then waste time with these eliminator fights for the IBF. Instead Danny was sent after a vacant WBC and Spence after brook title so haymon can control all 3 belts. Why have Spence drop danny and take his belt or drop Thurman and take his belt when you have spence go after a different belt to get all 3 guys a title. That was clearly the plan and brook is screwing it up.

It's a solid plan by Haymon. Thurman and Garcia are having a huge in house unification showdown because of that plan and there will be another huge in house unification showdown between Spence and the winner of that fight when Spence gets his hands on the IBF. Then, maybe a big ppv between the unified champ and WBO champ pacquiao for the undesputed title (that is of course depending on how long the unification will take, which actually could be done by the end of the year or early january.

Brook is looking weak as ****, and I say that as a fan of his. Grovelling for a fight with Khan, a has been who no one gives a **** about anymore. Initially, thought him fighting GGG was a bold move but now it looks like it was false courage, Khan is gonna waste another year of his life again it looks like.

Pacquiao would rather fight Horn because more people respect/know him

Are you kidding? i have never heard ANYTHINg about Horn before he signed Pacquiao! Spence is a top-prospect while Horn is just a nobody.
Cant stand that Pac is fighting sutch a bum-Opponent.

Spence is still keeping quiet. Seems like his team and Haymon are up to something. Of course, they're hoping that Brook would vacate. You gotta be numb not to recognize that. But the cost is going inactive for long periods of time. I don't want to hear this guy and his fans making long-layoff excuses when he performs badly or loses his next fight.

Garcia is my favorite WW but I'm really starting to like this guy.

Why the long-layoff with most of these young boxers today? Guys that should be fighting 4/5 times a year not thinking about world title so early

So Haymon welterweight holding 2 out of the 3 belts was a ****** decision? You want him to recycle belts like Top Rank does the WBO?
