When Floyd was trying to take out the big dogs at 147. Check out the video link...

LOL@ Shane's excuse.. "my tooth is loose i can't think"

[Butch.McRae]

No one knows how he'll do at 147, and Horn isn't good at all. Still at least it's somewhat a gauge. Spence has a valid point, get a fight in and see how it goes. Plus let's be real... you think Arum is going to let Crawford fight Spence? Very unlikely.

People who come on here writing like Crawford is an option for Spence can't be taken seriously imo. Arum won't let that happen anytime soon. We're at minimum 3 fights from that being a thing. Top Rank has a TV deal now. It's not like Crawford can fight on any network. It's going to have to be PPV.

That's when I knew we were watching something special with Floyd. Mosely (and Zab) were more popular than him at that time within the casual black community. After this I was like "damn." Had to start telling people what was up lol

I smell p*ssy is that you Shawn Porter he scared af of Spence lol I thought contenders were suppose to go after champions

The only guy dumb (or brave) enough at 147 to take the fight with Spence is Amir Khan.

Lol.......Nobody is calling Spence out and Khan most certainly isn't .Spence would do away with Khan as quick as Prescott did 54 seconds............. or less.

Spence's boxing skills aren't like Loma, Floyd, etc. He mostly uses in and out movements, but he attacks the body - that's really his strongest attribute. He breaks an opponent's body down and he can walk through these smaller guys at 147.

Go up and try to walk through Jermell or Hurd...

Try to just come straight forward against Lara... see what happens...

Thurman isn't even a big puncher at 47 and Crawford wasn't even a big puncher at 40... Spence can walk those guys down and just outwork them especially with body shots and control the distance with his reach...

Spence could beat Lara

Arum doesn't control Bud like he does with his other fighters. And what Spence said was the opposite of what Bud asked.

shawn i respect you because you're definitely a warrior and a tough fighter. but since when has boxing followed the rules regarding rankings? the powers that be are simply making the fights they want to make, regardless of who is ranked next in line. so if you wanted that fight bad enough and you made just a little bit of noise about it, I'm sure the powers that be could arrange it, and I'm sure the pay would be respectable. because you have a name. don't wait on or call out Thurman who is injured. don't waste your prime waiting for one dude. you are much better than that

How can a fighter turndown a title fight like that?

[Sosay]

Porter is more shook than Thurman.
I dont think I like Porter anymore. He most definitely dont want that work.
