    Ok let me break it down for you. Your questioning why is spence getting hate. Cause he is fighting his mandos but yet you yourself Larry talked sh it about ggg not moving up in weight to fight Ward and fight his mando instead. So you can't praise a guy for fighting his mando (spence) yet sh it on another for doing the same thing (GGG). So which is it larry? Are you going to sh it on both or praise both? You can't have it both ways

            The only reason it's become an issue now is because the Amir Khan fight, the fight that Brook has been trying to get for basically the last three years, now seems to finally be a real possibility (Khan having been layed out by Saul Alvarez, turning the Brook fight into the biggest fight available for him).

            With the fight finally being in the balance, Brook would rather take the Spence fight after the Khan payday.

              People cheered. Called it KO of the year lol
              Brook actually fought GGG. He took his ass whippin.
              Is Saul the only one allowed to swerve dangerous fights for an easy payday?

              For the record, I want to see Brook-Spence too. One of the best fights to make at that weight.
              Khan is long overdue for an asskicking from Brook though and it's a big fight in the UK. I understand that as well.
              Khan is as scared of Brook as Canelo is of GGG though so it probably won't happen lol
              Lemmie fix it for you...

              "Khan is scared of Brook as is Canelo of GGG AS IS BROOK OF SPENCE!"

              And please don't pretend that Canelo was praised for ducking GGG, every sane person on twitter, facebook, and boxingscene was criticising Canelo for the duck, even Mexican compatriots of his like Marquez and Zurdo were criticizing and trolling him.

              Sorry but you can't hide behind that lie. Canelo got what he deserved for ducking GGG, and so will Brook.

                Which was dumb because beating Vargas would have been the pathway to bigger and better fights. He would still have his 0 and he would be a unified champion with the WBO and IBF around his waist. That would have opened doors for him, I mean, Pac just fought Vargas for that WBO strap, isn't Pac one of the fights Brook wanted?

                Even Pac didn't want it being unified champ and undefeated opens a lot of doors for a fighter.

                The GGG fight was just a waste of time that cost him his eye socket and diminished his ability to make 147 again.

                    I wasn't talking about sane people.
                    I was talking about the people who act like they win something every time Canelo ducks GGG.
                    I'm talking about the same people who **** on Brook fighting JoJo Dan and Bizier but will make posts about how great Spence looks when he beats one of them for the vacant IBF title.

                      Eddie Hearn already answered this question. Spence is high risk low reward.

                      but hopefully the IBF strips him soon. without that strap Khan isn't interested, there goes his dream fight.
