    I think mostly due to Thurman he wants to wait on Keith but since he is injured and just got married, he might not fight til the end of this year and thats the fight Spence really wants over everyone.

          I'd rather see them fight more often, see them in action, rather than see them once, then disappear for a year. It's no different from seeing a movie where there's nothing more to follow.

          Boxing should be something like tv series or telenovelas where fans always have something to look forward to. Instead, the sport has degenerated into random fights where wins don't lead to anything.

            There's not even a single blip of news about this guy's come back fight.
            We have no clue who he fights next.
            We have clue it's not going to be in September or October as he hoped to.
            The media is so used to this pattern, they don't even bother looking into it.

              Granted that woulda got f#cked with Porter falling out, but no one gave a f#ck about Porter vs Dulorme & Spence needs a fight, Porter always wants a fight. Lets f#cking fight.
              I don't know if he wants THAT fight!

                I think Porter would fight anyone. He's got a W over Usyk as an amateur iirc. He's got no f#cks to give & giant giraffe balls.

                  So who is to blame in this case?
                  Haymon? Haymon fighters? Showtime Espinoza? Certainly not Spence.
                  If this is Arum, Oscar, HBO, fanboys would be all over them.

                    That would be an interesting fight since to sum it up (very basically), Spence is a much more refined version of Porter.

                      So you are being an HBO/Arum fanboy and trying to blame floyd fans for your slurping thread?? GTFOH.

                      Only poster JoeMan usually brings up the activity of fighters. The inactivity complaint is what posters that do not like Haymon or PBC bring up as a criticism. Where have you seen Floyd fans criticize TR or GBP fighters for not being active??
