The Spence fight isn’t happening until late 2019 at the earliest. Thurman will want his 2 tune up fights & than fight someone like Devon Alexander before he fights Spence. Spence should fight the winner of Porter/Garcia after his fight next week. I can see that happening in early 2019.
Its worth mentioning in the last 2.5yrs Thurman has only fought one more time than Tyson Fury did.
This isn't a guy the #1 guy in the division should be fighting. Layoff or not. This is a poor opponent with a nice name. And honestly respect to Lopez for always being ready & available, not unlike Gabe Rosado, to be in the running for big name fights like this. He even deserves a bigger fight right now cuz he did just upset a undefeated prospect in Miguel Cruz. But he shouldn't be fighting a #1 in the world guy bigger fight.
