    It's only a when if Keith didn't suffer career ending/changing injuries. If Keith is taking all this time to fully heal and he's coming back in good shape, yeah, it'll definitely happen.

      That's true, he has been injury prone dating when back to the amateurs and his early pro days. I remember when people thought he FAKED a car accident to duck the guy he called out to fight. Now he's faking career-threatening elbow injuries and willingly missing out on millions

      I think Keith is good to go on one more big run tho, he's still 29 and in his prime. We've still got work to do.

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 don't even know where to begin with this mess of a post.

          Lol - I can't believe someone said spence jr doesn't want to fight Pacquiao or khan because of the speed are you kidding he beats them both easily. ..he will probably fight the winner of Porter /DG of course he wants thurman. ..who is acting like a shot fighter I would pick spence jr to beat Crawford

              Is Thurman even active anymore? Dude needs to get back in the ring, the welterweight division needs him.

                How about coming up with a coherent argument to refute my factual points; rather than spam the laughing emote like an egotistical moron? Huh? Try it sometime.

                  Nah, I'm good. Sometimes a post is to dumb entertain it.

                      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
                      Danny’s speed is somewhat difficult to measure or contrast against other fighters because he’s a hooker and really doesn’t have a traditional jab, so I see y it’s hard for u to distinguish.

                      Danny's a counterpuncher who’s signature punch is a “No look hook” that devastates opponents cause they don’t see it coming. I really don’t know anyone in the division right now who throws a hook any faster.

                      I’ve always liked Kahn and have defended him many times against those who r quick to marginalize him. I have no issues with u saying he’s more accomplished than Spence because right now he is. I like Kahn because he’s truly fought all-comers and avoided no one.

                      Having said that, let’s not make the mistake and suggest Spence is avoiding certain fighters because that’s absurd.

                      The only issue hampering Spence’s lack of quality scalps on his resume, is the difficulty of trying to find other quality boxers who want to engage him.

                      Like I said earlier, Thurman moves well with his legs, and boxes well. So according to u Spence should be avoiding this type of fighter. But it’s just the opposite, as Thurman is running scared of him.
