Luis Collazo may be Spence's next opponent.

Wouldn't be surprising. With how the landscape is looking right now I'd be surprised if any fight he has this year is of much interest to me or most fans outside of just seeing Spence fight again.

I got my hopes for an interesting Spence fight pinned to the winner of the fight this weekend getting next with Spence or Thurman coming out of hiding soon to have a fight & then call up Spence. Then again it sounds like the Porter vs Garcia winner will have to fight two mandatory's first so its unlikely they will get next & Thurman doesn't even have anything scheduled yet as far as I'm aware so that isn't likely to pop up soon. And obviously the Bud thing isn't happening next or even in 2019 unless some crazy sh^t happens I'd be willing to bet.

So more realistically best case Spence is probably looking at Pacquiao (if Haymon can work his magic & make a deal before Hearn/DAZN do) or Andre Berto for his first fight of 2019. And Ugas is probably the more likely bet if Ugas isn't next cuz I think he's still Spence's mandatory.

Rough being a Spence fan these days. Feel like Spence's career is being wasted for no goddamn good reason. He's turning 29 in January ffs. Still got 4 or so years of prime fighting most likely, but wtf man it just feels like Spence should be further along al-damn-ready. /rant lol

Why doesn't he chase Terrence Crawford? Or go up to 154?

I think he's stalling his own career.

[Eff Pandas]

And do you honestly think Pacquiao would fight Spence? lol

If Haymon is paying him as I suspect he would I don't see why he wouldn't.

[Teetotaler]

Garbage>garbage>garbage? Hmm.

literally laughed out loud

[Teetotaler]

Its expected to be honest. How else they gonna fill up those fox slots

[Eff Pandas]

Why would he chase Bud to fight Bud? He'd need to chase Bob to fight Bud. Bud ain't making his own decisions like that. This ain't the Ali chasing Liston days.

And not unlike GGG going to 168 when he was at 160 with the money fights it don't make no sense for Spence to go to 154 when the money fights are at 147. All you likely do is f#ck up your body cuz legit gaining weight & legit losing weight to make 154 & then going back down to 147 when the money fights do pop up is gonna be harder on his body & potentially shorten his career worse case. Don't really make sense. If there was a big money fight to make there & wasn't any at 147 it'd be a great suggestion doe.

I just want the Crawford/Spence show to happen.
Until then its meh.

[boliodogs]

I have no news source, so I understand that some of you won't believe me. But fwck it. This is 100% what I was told.

A buddy of mine who happens to know Collazo said he spoke to him, and Collazo told him that he was contacted about a Spence fight and are figuring out details.

It obviously appears to be a stay busy fight before he hopefully fights the Garcia-Porter winner.

Also, I would come up with someone rated higher than Collazo if I was trying to blow smoke up your arses. What do you guys think? This would probably be it for Luis. It also may not happen of course. I don't know how far along they've gotten in negotiations.

I hope it doesn't happen and Spence fights somebody better than Collazo instead. Spence KOing Collazo is a waste of Spence's time and talent. MAN DOWN!

[daggum]

don't you just hate in house top rank fights?

Because Pacquiao doesn't seem to want to fight Crawford, Spence, Thurman or anybody who's really a big threat.
