    Is 154 a dead division? no money at all, no names.

    I think Spence should go straight to 160 once he decides it's time to move up. He has the frame. 154 is dead, no names, nothing to prove there. Unless he can rematch Brook.

    I already imagine it... one fight against Trout. "To test the waters". Then Williams. Then Jermell Charlo. That would be a good fight, but come on, 160 is where the names are at.

        Charlo, Lara, Hurd, etc. The division needs to be cleaned up first.

          if spence walks around in the 170s how good could he really be at 160? dont these boxers cut 25-30 lbs when u start getting into the higher wt classes? i do agree other than charlo whos really at 154? would spence even fight charlo being they share same trainer and are training buddies?

              Nah not everyone starts 25-30 pounds above. Some just 20, 15.

              Spence has the frame, if he makes some muscle on the legs and core like Brook did he can compete at 160.

                Yes, who?

                And no money there. No PPV star there.

                  so if hes only gonna be cutting 10–12 lbs, realistically how much of his power will he keep at 160? dont get me wrong errol is my fav fighter who i can see challenging himself constantly so i would love nothing more than to see him clean out the ww division then 154 get a belt or two there than 160. i hope he can do it..

                  he has such a fan friendly style and i really hope he becomes an atg that goes down in history alongside hagler, srl, and those guys. we as fans deserve this!!!

                    What matters is his fight night weight. GGG produced a lot of KO's and has a lot of power weighin only 170 on fight night.

                    If Spence is already on 160+ then he shouldn't have a problem to be 170+ on fight night. He is skinny.
