I think Spence is the world's best welterweight and I hope he gets the chance to prove it sooner rather than later. I think he wants to fight the best but the best don't want to fight him. This doesn't have much to do with the topic but I just like to brag on Spence.

I don't even want to mention Spence moving up, but what if this problem of getting fights in his division continues? Is it even realistic to expect him fight 3 times a year when not one in his own PBC stable is willing to fight him?Comment

GBP, Dela Hoya, had expressed interest in signing him.
Don't even know how would that work.
Maybe pit him against Canelo or something.
Funny part about Spence if he decides to move up is the 154 division is even worse. Guys like Lara, Andrade, Charlo, who themselves haven't even fought after all these years.
It's comical.Comment

He's currently in a fairly thin welterweight division, with 154 not being particularly strong itself.
A Thurman fight is all he has really. There isn't much more talent in or around his weight, other than Lara (maybe Andrade if he achieves something). Definitely noone eliteComment

The 154 division is worse. The ones on top just like to fight Gausha type fighters. It remains to be seen if they even want a strong welter guy like Spence.Which is why I don't believe this 'new face of boxing' stuff..

He'll eventually end up moving up because of lack of fights in his current division.
For sure he'll get more fights in Europe where big guys abound.
They'll be more than happy to fight a smaller guy with an established name.Comment
