    It's been 1 1/2 years since Spence beat a one-eyed Brook.

    It's probably time for him to move up if he can't get fights in this division.

    Plenty of fights are waiting for him at 154.

      I dunno I feel like Spence is trying to cut years of work out that he needs to put in. I can't believe Haymon would be sidelining him more than he has unrealistic expectations about fights that literally cannot happen for whatever reason. He hears Hearn talking about all this money in interviews etc and thinks he should be having more. He is a beast, he is a moneybox waiting to be opened but needs handled right, it's not like he is some Brandon Rios where you would know if theres a good opportunity you aint getting considered. If something worthwhile is out there he will get it. If he isnt getting the fights he wants look at the other camps, not twitter.

        Sometimes you gotta take lead and look at what other successful boxers did. For instance Timothy Bradley signed with arum to get the pacquiao fight and big paydays. Ward broke loose from dan goosen and signed with rock nation and made out like a bandit.

        Spence needs to sign to golden boy with a guarantee of getting canelo within 3 fights. Then he can have a trilogy and retire rich af.

          How is someone like Spence having to take to twitter to get a fight?

          Dude should be on a tear about now in the prime of his life.

            All of the PBC dates have been used up. Next year the new deal starts so lots of dates to fill.

              Man I agree 💯! If he makes that jump he should fit right in. He’s a large welter. I’ve “heard” that he’s walking around at 185. I believe him and Munguia is a fight that would provide fireworks and it’d be for a title out of the gate/ not to mention I’d like to see him and Brook at 54. Might be one sided, but maybe not. TBD

                say what you want about Hearn, and i'm no fan, but his fighters have regular fights if they want them and get promoted.

                i'm actually glad spence is showing this attitude. too many fighters seem happy to fight once a year and take the money. Nice work if you can get it, but if you're serious about raising your profile and popularity, you need to be active.

                  Yeah I would agree with this...it would be sad to see him waste his prime years of his career. But thinking about it now, Hearn also got him the biggest fight of his career vs Kell Brook but at the moment he only has Vargas, Khan and Brook left in the division.

                    Spence is probably realizing it's really not that easy even if you're on the same side of the street, same house, same kitchen, same uncle.

                      Might as well take it.
