Never crawford(unification)khan( highest payday for him at welterweight) or pacquiao ( good payday and legit name on his resume) < because these guys are movers and can outbox him. Spence will most likely beat and unify against a thurman or a porter/garcia but will avoid crawford and move up to 154
    I doubt that Spence is scared of anyone in the division and all along hes said that he wants to unify ALL the belts so im pretty sure that means Crawford aswell considering he just took the WBO.

      Danny has very fast/quick hands and is a lightning sharp counter puncher. Danny’s hands r also faster than Thurman’s and Spence.

      I’d rate Thurmans hands slightly faster than Spence, and Thurman moves very well so I’m not really sure where your going with this.

      Kahn is faster than all 3 but is immaterial due to his glass jaw so I’m really not sure why u mentioned him. If Kahn’s movement was that good he would of lasted vs Canelo, but he got sparked as usual. So what do u thing Spence would do to him ?

        You are incredibly bias it seems. Khan is a more accomplished fighter in every way so far, from amateurs where he won a silver whereas spence couldnt even go past the round of 16; to the pros where khan has unified a divison and has fought the best whereas spence is fighting khans leftovers like algieri and now ocampo LOL .Youre talking like canelo is some bum lmao. If spence does the equivalent of what khan did and went up to fight a canelo or a golovkin he will get stopped as well. Yes garcia has fast hands for a professional boxer DUH hes an elite boxer; compared to other elite boxers in his divison NO not at all point blank period. You can speak in tongue twisters or put a spin on it all you like but no garcia is not considered a fast fighter in his division. When people say fast in boxing theyre talking about the pacquiaos the khans the russell jr. Garcia is NOWHERE near as fast as these fighters no matter how much you try to put a spin on it. Compared to pac and khan in his division hes considered a slow fighter; ergo spence wants slow flat footed fighters he can trade with not movers and in and out fighters like who i just mentioned. Im sure you gonna make garcia sound like the flash in your reply but lets see

          Thurman vs Spence is one of the top 4 or 5 fights that can be made in boxing. It's inevitable and a matter of when rather than if. People are so easily mislead into believing certain narratives.

            If Thurman gets that August 4th date they showed on that Fury fight he definitely may face someone like Jessie James or Ugas. really think he should of faced Broner or Figeroua Jr. this may help him ease his way back and stop babying his elbow or whatever and face Spence at least by this time next year but I think he is ducking Spence at this point plus having way too many distractions too caused him to sit out very sad

              This is still a great fight but does Thurman even wanna box anymore?

                me too....Thurman has the power and size to stop from being walked down...And he learned how to survive sticky situations. But his inactivity and iffy confidence towards Spence makes me lean towards E

                  Spence KO's all of the Welterweights at 147. And beat the Charlo, Hurd at 154.

                    Slapnuts said "slow fighters like Thurman who arent movers like Khan, Pacquaio"

                    1. Thurman proably has the best feet at 147.

                    2. Spence would cave Khan,Pacquaios head in on the same night..

                    I swear idk wats in the water in some of y'alls cities..The Fck?

                      Sure he is. Why fight Bud when you could fight a guy coming off a two year layoff and 5 surgeries?
