Some of these same people tried and still does try to convince people not to make MILLIONS remember when connor called out floyd, these same people play the victim when called out on their BS

I never bought a PPV in my entire life! (we have maybe half of the big fights on regular cable here where I am, PPV not exist here) and I watched May/McQuitter on free live streaming! like all the interesting fights not on cable or I search for *******s

I wish Spence nothing but the best, he'sa good straight ip guy. However I don't think he can have the type of career that big ppv stars like Mayweather had. He's already almost 30 now with only 1 credible win and extremely long stretches of inactivity for a fighter his age. The weight cut will also take its toll on him sooner or later and it will decrease his stamina and punch resistance.

And don't overlook Mikey, yea Spence's clearly the favorite, but it's not over until it's over.

Mayweather was already 28 years old when he had his first PPV with Gatti. Spence just turned 29 and is headlining his first PPV. Mayweather just had his final PPV recently after the age of 40 and that came after multiple long spans of leaving the sport due to "retirement". Spence has plenty of time to etch his name in the record books. Gotta be patient grasshopper

Open the door to what? Beating smaller guys like Marquez?

Spence needs to get his ass up to 160 and fight Canelo to claim such bullshit

[Bjl12]

Just like people can say they aren't impressed with any of Canelos wins due to the refs being paid off for Lara, Trout, and GGG twice among others. Which gives Canelo zero great wins like you just gave Spence.

See. It's not hard to make invalid excuses to make things suit your argument.

There's no argument. If you think you can compare the careers of Canelo and Errald Spencer than it is you that needs help.

Canelo has the single best resume in boxing (besides Pacman). Of all the weight classes and champions, Canelo has the best faced opposition - and it's not even close. There's literally no boxer even close to his resume. Not even close.

And the fights you mention were definitely close, but there's really no controversy.

Canelo Lara is a toss-up, but it was neck and neck. Fight could've gone either way and that was a green Canelo with a prime Lara.

Canelo Trout could've been 6-6, but the KD made the difference.

GGG 1 and 2 were neck and neck. GGG could've won the 1st fight 7-5, but 6-6 was perfectly suitable. All 3 judges - even Dave Moretti who scored the first fight for GGG and was selected by Abel/Loeffler/GGG to judge the 2nd fight - gave Canelo rounds 1, 2, 10, 11, and 12. If all judges gave Canelo at least 5 rounds...how is it difficult for you or anyone else to accept a draw? Personally I saw Canelo win rounds 3 and 4 CLEAN with rounds 1 along with one of the later rounds swing rounds. Nonetheless a draw was more than acceptable even if it might've been a little bit generous for Canelo. The lone scorecard was an abonination though.

The rematch was a clear (but close) Canelo win, 7-5, or at best for GGG a draw, 6-6.

Errald Spencer fought a kickboxer, a guy with a surgically repaired face who moved up/down 2 weight classes, a heavy bag, and now a 135 pound fighter...and says he's going to be the face of boxing?

Spencer has zero personality and is running away from the only challenge at his weight class, Terrence Crawford. He's also called out GGG and Canelo, but I guarantee you he won't fight either of them..possibly ever.

And here you are...defending a fighter whose said he'll finish his career at 160 or 168...fighting a 135 pound fighter and suggesting it'll propel him to greatness.

You're embarassing.

That's very true

How can you kick something down thats already been opened?

Maybe he's going to close the door and then kick it down just for the hell of it idk🤔

You right about that and besides he's calling these top guys out and they keep making excuses. Thurman said this is his get back year and later wants to get his belt back from Porter. Spence confronts Porter face to face and Shawn backs down. He and Crawford exchanged words face to face but the politics is holding that fight up. So he can only fight who's willing and able to get in the ring with him. And Mikey just so happened to step up since nobody else would.

No, that's not what I meant at all. Moneywise picking Manny is a no-brainer. All I'm saying is that Spence has yet to fight someone of importance to make loud claims.

Funny thing is that beaten Brook who came off a destructive loss and a fractured orbital bone against GGG still gave Spence a really hard time despite the fatigue and that headbutt so I wouldn't use that as an example at all.
