    There is always someone to fight. He has a contract with a guaranteed minimum he is happy with. He will be alright.

      you have to understand this. spence can fight so many other dudes that are all under contract with al haymon. i just listed them, but again: thurman, porter, garcia, first dude to stop broner, and manny f#Cking pacquiao.
      Spence can keep fighting midgets and thump his chest for old guys like pac fight Thurman and or porter then go up to 154 and his legacy will be toast .Great fighter but dodged the biggest challenge of his career.Unlike what people say here a fighter has a huge say in who he fights because at the end of his contract he can play the free agent card.History does not accept the reason I didn’t fight bud was because his promoter was mean to mine.

        Funny how Arum being mean including suing didnt stop PBC from pursuing a fight with Pac.

          Screwed? Nah, dude will be making great pay days the rest of his career. Will it be easy to get the best WWs? No, but certainly possible. I still have no idea why he is signed for four more years, that's just crazy to me. He could theoretically stay with TR the rest of his career, but he killed any leverage he had by doing that.

          I still say the Spence fight happens early next year, worst case around summer/fall time.

            I suggested this when Crawford first moved up. He held all 4 belts at JWW but decided to go for WBO against Horn. I was called dumb.

            I was also called dumb when i said Brook/GGG ****ed up the welterweight division. Brook should've fought Vargas. Spence would've had 2 belts. Thurman had 2 belts. Bud wouldve had to fight one of them to get a belt.

              He will be fine, with Spence fighting Porter.. and Manny fighting Thurman, there is not many matches left before someone is holding 3 belts. And then Crawford gets the fight. Mostly likely next year.

                you act like spence is just going to be fighting those guys one after the other. spence isn't even getting Pacquiao it looks like thurman is getting that fight. spence fights porter next. I don't see broner getting another big fight opportunity after his loss to Pacquiao and his outside the ring troubles. that would be a terrible fight for spence and pbc and the fans know that. with PAC vs thurman happening in the summer along with spence vs porter thurman vs spence is on course to happen later this year!

                  Tell me if these two great warriors never meet after one constantly called out the other and was thought by many as one of the best p4p at the time.They both go out after brilliant careers spences legacy is going to be hurt.Here we go again you bringing up the promoter angle.Im a fight fan not a promoter fan I don’t give a fu@ck about promoters in my perfect world we feed to the lions or maybe pit bulls.Where are the boxing fans this site is full of promoter fans you can’t fight because uncle bob is insensitive to Haymon s feelings.Spence can demand the fight or say I’m walking after my contract is up .Its been done before.

                    agreed. there's already talk about brook being an opponent for crawford. it's an interesting fight that will get people talking or even possibly maidana if he can make weight lol anyways there will be fights for him he knows its pbc who's blocking the spence fight so it is what is
