Only way Canelo and Spence fight is if Spence jumps up two weight classes for a once off fight and then gets back down to welterweight.
The reason I say this is because Spence won't move up to 154 because his stablemate Jermell Charlo is there and Jermell already stated his intentions to unify 154.
Jermell won't move up to 160 either because his twin brother is there and he too gonna prolly become unified champ. He fighting an eliminator for the wbc title soon which means that he gonna be the mandatory of Canelo vs GGG winner, and if he wins he'll be a unified champ.
So here's how it is. Spence won't move up to 154 because he'd be getting in the way of his stablemate, who won't move up to 160 coz then he'd be getting in the way of his twin brother.
That's why I say Spence fights Canelo only by jumping up for a once off fight. Only one who could make it possible I suppose is Andrade. If Andrade were to beat Jermell and unify 154 then prolly Spence would move up to challenge him.
Spence is a pretty big Welterweight. By 2019 I can see him moving up to 154.
If Jermell Charlo is still at 154 during that time, I'm sure they will just avoid each other and fight everyone else if they feel that strongly about it.
Canelo was fighting and dominating grown men and world class fighters as a teenager while spence was fighting weaker comp in amateurs with headgear. Both have been developing and still are it's just canelo did it in the public eye on the bigger stage. But he's younger and still peaking. Spence is just now fighting the level of comp canelo was fighting 5 years ago. Canelo beats him now. Who knows where both guys are at whenever spence is done bullying small guys at 147 and decides to move up to middlweight but my money is on canelo. Spence has none of the attributes that have given canelo issues. Too easy to hit, slow, doesn't fight off his back foot, ect. If canelo beats GGG he's beating basically a bigger stronger version of spence.
Canelo fought Saunders at 154 and ducked the other title holders.
He didn't go near Charlo or Andrade....he was too busy taking easy fights.
