Comments Thread For: Lamont Peterson Impressed With Spence, Willing to Fight Him

Peterson can be stepping stone for Spence or stay busy fight for Thurman.

I think he said he was impressed with his sparring. It was in the article. He's sparred far more elite comp than he's faced to this point and interviews (dropping broner, giving Floyd all he could handle, giving Peterson real work) are readily available.

ah fair enough, if im honest i only read the title lol

Arum isn't putting Pac near Crawford either, sadly.

He is going to force that Jeff Horn fight down everyone's throat instead.

I agree completely. I was talking more from a cashout perspective. Arum's not going to risk manny losing to anybody but crawford, when it's time.

I'm impressed with Spence. One of the problems I had with him earlier was he was taking too long to get rid of lesser opponents. Once I saw him step up and got convincing KO victories I was sold. I think it's a 50/50 with Brook. If he wins convincingly then I'm all in. Peterson would also be a another good test for him. If he gets convincing wins against Brook and possibly Peterson then a fight with Thurman is a must and he'll be slightly favored in my opinion.

I have to see Spence in with a bunch of styles before I can decide which would be best to beat him. With Thurman it's a pressure fighter that can effectively cut off the ring and force him to fight your fight. Errol would be the best style matchup in that regard.

Where's the fun in that? Why buy stock when it's sky high? I actually think Thurman's style is the best to beat Spence. Great movement and powerful counter-punches. But if Spence has a great chin, then age will be his demise cuz his style doesn't last for a lengthy period of time.
