Comments Thread For: Who Can Handle "The Truth" After Brook-Spence?

[Boxing Truth]

Haymon will match Spence easy

SRL was the same way frame-wise. But his skill could carry him anywhere. However I do think Spence could handle everybody at 154. Anrades length could be an issue but he seems to have poor legs/balance. I think Spence would beat Charlo. That interview where Charlo was discussing Spence's work ethic told me what I needed to know. He views Spence as a superior talent. Which is probably why he chose his trainer. Lara could give Spence a tough fight for sure. But he may not be able to run for 12 rounds. His fight with Vanes was telling. They are all good fighters but I think this kids activity level and pressing style his tough to weather. He threw 600 punches against Brook.

Haymon wont put Spence in tough. My sources concluded that Spence will fight in his next fight Robert Guerrero on PBC. His next bout will be another Wilder type vs a Berto or Luis Collazo. Then Haymon will see if Adrian Broner is out of jail to sell to the gullible idiots.

Spence will not be fighting a top ten Welterweight the rest of the year. All of you Haymon sycophants need to put down the kool aid and see it for what it is. Spence will be having his Deontay Wilder bum of every four month club for the next year at least.

Save the trolling for someone else. Berto likely won't ever fight again unless it's against old/beat up guys like him. There's a reason they gave him a higher purse than Porter.

Guerrero could be a stay busy scrap in LA. I wouldn't say that couldn't happen just because Thurman has to wait. But they're going to make that fight asap. Clearly Haymon is interested in creating a new PPV star for his stable (which is why everybody is fighting each other now). Spence looks to be that fighter (or Mikey). He'll let him fight who he wants. Garcia might be in the mix next too.

Yea PRIME SRL is same way frame wise but he had that explosive mix of speed and and could box Errol is almost like the black version of GGG with a more speed and skill as in he's there to be hit as well but can you hurt him?

But I think If Errol fought like that at 154 he'd lose real quick. Definitely doesn't beat the bigger Charlo I don't think you understand the Charlo bros are really 160 fighters fighting at 154 getting easy money. I don't see the speed from Errol to be able to compete at 154 with faster 6' guys. Even Canelo don't mention the Charlo's names.

I see what you saying about Andrade to but I think it depends on who he's fighting TBH I see him look not so good against fighter his same size. He looks great against either taller (nelson) fighters or fighters that are shorter than him he's looked fantastic. I get it too for some people its like that like with Brook. didn't fare too well with someone who was right around his size.

Keith Thurman will make easy work of Errol Spence

He couldn't even make easy work of Luis Collazo

funny how anyone that means anything at 147 or 140 are all in their late 20's or early 30's now too.

Like where is the younger talent at 140 147 at? They need to start finding contenders in their mid and early 20's

SRL Hearns those guys were in their early 20's when they was at the top of the game not late 20's

Spence 27
Thurman 28
Garcia 29
Porter 29
Crawford 29
Pacquiao 38?
Broner 27-28
Canelo 26-27
Mikey Garcia 29
Charlo 27
Peterson 33
Matthyese 34
Lomanchenko 29

He better fight Algieri! Algieri will be a completely different animal once he's unleashed from the cage.

I just think it's the nature of the sport now. Guys generally get involved in the sport later than they did in the past (lots stay in the amateurs longer too). I think that mixed with the increased knowledge about sports science and nutrition has changed the activity level of fighters (fighting 3 times a year is a high activity level now, whereas in the past you'd see a guy like Hagler fight six times a year in his prime). I actually think this is a good development for the sport. Hopefully we'll have less punch drunk fighters in the future. Boxing shouldn't come at the expense of your future health imo.

We focus on the top guys but there are a lot of lesser knowns, who benefit from the new norms around health and activity. The health of those guys has improved for the better imo.
