    Spence most feared boxer ever?

    Have you ever seen a boxer this feared before? It's insane!

    Thurman refused to fight Spence, even when promised he would get a Mayweather fight by doing it!

    Not to mention Porter, Garcia, Horn and Pacquiao running scared... He is in one of the deepest divisions in boxing, yet he is feared by everyone there!

    GGG was in the same boat not long ago being avoided by plenty of fighters until his name got built up and him v Canelo was the only match to make. Canelo could no longer take another fight without losing all credibility.

    Spence can get his big fights, it'll just be a similar case i.e someone like Thurman being backed into a corner to the point where no other fight will suffice and the money is right.

    The problem is if Spence v Thurman/Crawford etc. ever draw HUGE money to where no guy can turn it down? None of them are crossover stars. They're big names amongst boxing fans but the casual sports fan doesn't know them and that's where the real money comes from.

    GGG v Canelo always had a bit of crossover appeal and was a fight that generates big money. I just don't see that happening with any of the current 147 fighters unless the TV networks do a great job of building their name and the fighters stay active, which is another problem...

        Pretty much. Like GGG he's high risk low reward. Like some dummies were saying before GGG the most ducked fighter ever, now we got the other side of the dummies saying Spence is.

            Stop it. If you knew boxing you'd know Spence just isn't a big enough draw yet for guys to be desperate to fight him. If that's what you call fear then Lara is the most feared man in history.

                  Only GGG was this feared in my memory two or three years ago. Eubank, Saunders, Cotto and Martinez all refused to fight him when they were champions or top contenders. Just like Spence he had to take whatever fights he could get even though he tried to fight the best middleweights.

                    Pretty sure Saunders signed a contract to fight him in Kazakhstan but then GGG didn't fight and waited for the Canelo fight..
