Comments Thread For: Spence: Thurman, Garcia, Porter Wouldn't Answer Call to Fight Me

The writing is on the wall. They know how the story ends. That's why. You'd think a guy like Garcia, who's had a tremendous career with no where to go from 147, would show more heart. Porter knows he can move up, he fought above WW as an amateur at times. You'd still think he'd jump at an IBF opportunity.

I would love to see Jermell Charlo vs. Shawn Porter @ 154! However, if Porter don't want that work from Spence Jr., then Charlo is out of the question!

His style could also be worse...he'll be right in front of Spence all night. Thurman on the other hand, would use quite a bit of "movement."

Regardless, Porter wants to fight everyone BUT Spence, and the excuses he gives are awful. But like you, I was disappointed when I heard Porter say this.

I notice that Porter wasn't as hungry to avenge his loss with Brook, like he is for Thurman! Probably would've made more money going to the UK for a Brook rematch too!

I really like Spence as a fighter, the kid wants to fight everyone, I think he may struggle with Thurman only because of Thurman's determination, but I think he still wins. Garcia and Porter are beat easier in my opinion.

Damn I would love to see that fight, the Charlo brothers are no joke.

I disagree...that fight would have required Spence to move plus Golden Boy wanted option on Spence for taking the fight.

No a good deal.

Is a good deal, but okay if you disagree

I agree. I think he'll eventually be forced to fight Errol b/c he won't have anywhere to go. Charlo won't leave 154 anytime soon. Those three (Errol and the twins) are very disciplined with their programs.

If Haymon can’t get the fights made being that his the promoter & manager. Spence should go to another promoter.

Spence vs Garcia/Thurman/Porter are all dream fights man hope they happen soon

How is it a good deal if he won't have ANYONE to fight? What WW are GB promoting? He's getting paid 3M for this fight with Peterson.
