Comments Thread For: SHO Sports Head: Not Many Fighters Rushing To Face Spence

[PapaBricks]

Peterson had a regular WBA belt (which really doesn't mean anything since Thurman is the super WBA beltholder). Spence can only fight guys ranked in the IBF's top 15 unless they have the major title from another sanctioning body. However, to be in the IBF rankings and eligible for Spence to make a defense against him, Peterson had to drop his regular belt. When he dropped the belt, he could be ranked by the IBF and get the fight against Spence. It is ****** politics, but that is the reason...

Thanks, I love the sport but damn they make things more complicated then it needs to be.

Showtime and PBC not making the big fights people want. Hope Dana White fixes boxing because El Gaymon couldn't.

You do realize Thurman had elbow surgery and isn't even training yet, right? He's not available to fight in January.

What better fight is available for Spence?

after beating brook on foreign soil in front of a massive crowd - THIS - is what showtime provides for errol spence - how disrespectful to fans. no one cares. peterson should be a sparring partner for him.

the fights that should be made for him are:

TERENCE CRAWFORD - hes a champion this is a great fight and spence wins

JEFF HORN - HE TALKS LIKE HES A BIG BALLER spence could have easily gone down to australia and beat him and taken his belt in Q3 or Q4 of 2017.

DANNY GARCIA - competitive fight - spence wins but good numbers

MIKEY GARCIA - he talks alot and says hes his own guy so no problem easily making a fight - spence should call him out and beat him down - whats mikey afraid of?

Crawford: Has done nothing at welterweight to earn a title shot. Let's see him at 147 before we anoint him worthy.

Horn: What a joke. No one wants to see that garbage matchup. Lamont Peterson would mop the ring with him.

Danny: Passed on the fight.

Mikey: Mikey has never fought at 147 and has no plans to do so. Hell, he's only had one fight at 140, so how is going to jump up again to face a big strong welter like Spence? Makes no sense.

he beat a broken kell brook. didnt beat a 100% brook, his eye issues came up and he quit. Spence is overrated. thurman is a 50/50, but crawford will woop his ass

Danny Garcia and Porter were available.

How about Porter? Spence taking a step back.

[slimPickings]

Somebody explain it to me please. If Lamont had a belt as a welterweight. Why did he have to give it up to fight another welterweight? I'm confused about that part.

This just a guess but most likely true.

MONEY.
Most likely getting paid more for this fight than he would have gotten to defend his belt against some unknown.

[bluebeam]

it's like you dudes don't follow boxing.

porter just said two weeks ago that he isnt fighting again until they fight thurman.

porter, Thurman, Garcia all declined.

horn and Crawford are top rank and they are fighting each other next

he already beat brook. Khan is a reality tv star.

so who is spence supposed to fight?

he will fight the one guy who is willing to fight anybody.

Peterson fought undefeated Bradley. 1 loss Ortiz. 1 loss Khan. undefeated Garcia. matthysse and diaz. Lamont is the definition of a fighter. he is the perfect opponent for Spence.

it's gonna be a war
