This is the next big fight to happen. I slightly favor Spence because of his tenacity but you can't count Thurman out.

Regardless I highly doubt Thurman wants Spence or Porter right off elbow surgery, but you never know.
Hopefully Spence can lock in a date before the end of the year.
Danny Garcia wants no parts of Errol Spence is what it seems like.
Garcia went life and death with Lamont Peterson so I could only imagine what Errol Spence would do to him.
Spence vs Lamont Peterson would be a good fight to make while Spence waits for the other title holders to get through their mandatory fights.

Originally posted by filup79 View PostWhat does both being with Haymon have to do with anything. It's the fighter who accepts the fight. Haymon could push for the fight between them but if one fighter says no then there's no fight. Just like Manny has said no to the Crawford fight, why can't that fight be made when they both have the same promoter like u say. There's more to it, Danny came of a loss and they probably wanted him to get a win first, cause I'm sure people like you would give no Spence credit for beating Garcia by saying he hadn't beaten anyone after Thurman.

Originally posted by Bronx2245 View PostPorter is the WBC #1 contender, and Peterson is the WBA "Regular" Champion. I don't know which one gets first crack at Thurman, but it should be one of them next. I don't see Thurman vs. Spence Jr. happening in 2017.
Also I think your onto something there, I think they'll be Thurman's next two fights, I'll be surprised if the Thurman/spence fight happens any earlier than 2019.

Originally posted by War Dinamita View PostHe won't tell Spence when because he's been hiding from Spence since he became champion.
I can't blame him too much, because that's the same way the big names used to treat Keith when he was up and coming.
I do expect him to come back, take a fight or 2, and then fight Spence some time late next year. I don't think he'll run from Spence.
