Errol Spence willing to fight Canelo Alvarez next at 160

[Golden Boi 360]

By Sean Jones: Errol Spence Jr. says he would move up to 160 to face Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez in his next fight if the match is offered to him after his title defense this Saturday night against Lamont Peterson.

Spence points out that Canelo (49-1-2, 34 KOs) is not that big of a fighter, so he doesn’t see the size being a problem for him to move up to middleweight to face him. Canelo is listed at 5’9”, but he’s probably no more than 5’8”. He’s very short for the middleweight division.


Canelo is expected to face IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady ‘GGG’ Golovkin (37-0-1, 33 KOs) in a rematch on May 5. If Canelo wins that fight, Spence says he’d like to fight him. Indeed, Spence thinks Canelo WILL win against Triple G in their second fight, as long as he doesn’t tank in the last half of the fight like he did in their super-fight on September 16 last year. Spence is predicting a win for Canelo over GGG. Spence is basing his predicting on Canelo NOT fading in the last 6 rounds against Golovkin.

“I could do that,” said Spence to IFL TV, when asked if he would be willing to move up to middleweight to take on Canelo Alvarez. ”Canelo’s not a big guy. He’s probably about your size. He’s not that big,” said Spence.

Well, it would be up to Canelo and his promoters at Golden Boy if they’d be interested in making a fight against the 27-year-old Spence. The weight difference wouldn’t be an issue, as Spence rehydrates to the low 170s for his fights at welterweight. Spence is basically a junior middleweight that melts down to fight at 147 against welterweights.

Canelo RUINS Spence.

Would love this, personally

[_original_]

Canelo would destroy Spence, who heavily relies on his size advantage. He'd have zero effect on Canelo and would get demolished.

[icha]

in before "canelo ducking spence"...

[Strategic1]

Spence is a big welter.. I'm afraid he'll outgrow 147 while Thurman stalls the fight... Thurman-Spence needs to happen in the latter part of 2018. PERIOD...

Keith...no rush...Thurman.

It will be a cold day in he ll before GB makes that fight.Its really a lose-lose deal for him.If he losses then he just got beat by a welter and if he wins he just beat a welter who people will say was never that good to begin with.

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

lmfao I like spence but canelo will murder him, he will learn why Even floyd didnt dare move up to 160

[Boxing lives]

Wouldn't be suprised if an offer was made by Oscar. Spence might kiss the ww division good bye if he jumps up to 160 though. He's got time. He should wait. Get the Thurman and Crawford fights first. He's not ready for a bigger and more experienced Canelo. Canelo knocks Thurman out. Its a huge jump too soon. He got lucky rolling the dice with Brook but he was getting schooled the first half of that fight as I predicted. Then he came back in the second half as I expected. But this would be too much IMO. They have weight classes for a reason as they say and he wouldn't be able to use his size to wear Canelo down in the 2nd half like he did with Brook. He wouldn't be able to walk through Canelo.

I don't think Spence got lucky with Brook, but Canelo is wayyyy too much for him right now lol.

Canelo can fight and he boxes well and is a smart counter-puncher. He hurts Spence and wins a decisive decision. Spence is busier than Canelo, but Canelo won't be running away the way WW's do. He'll gladly trade and we'd see a new side of Spence...one that isn't used to being the bigger/stronger guy.

Canelo UD.

Rehydrates to the 170s? Stop making up bull shieet! Spence is in the IBF that has had a 157lbs rehydration limit for years now. It aint possible for him to have rehydrated to the 170s. You guys are full of shieeet!

Records say Canelo is 5'9 and then you argue against records and claim that he is actually 5'8 because what...you wish him to be 5'8?

This is the most unprofessional shieet I ever read. Fanboyism! SMH!
