Comments Thread For: De La Hoya To Spence: Be Like Garcia, Move Up To Fight Canelo!

[HAY-B]

So are more interested in seeing the best fight the best? Or how money Spence makes? Kinda confused by your comments.

Not sure what's so confusing. Again, you can't compare Mikey jumping up 2 divisions to Spence if he jumps 2 divisions. Why, because I feel mikeys jump was more about a big payday than it was chasing greatness. If Mikey had the same options at 135 as Spence has at 147, he would not have made the jump. Even though Spence would get a huge payday to jump and fight Canelo, he could make the same , if not more money with combined fights against Pac, Crawford, and Thurman or D Garcia. Once he finishes fighting the top WW's , the Canelo fight will still be there. Why take the risk of messing up your body by jumping 2 weight classes for a big payday (with no intentions of remaining at that weight) only 2 return to 147. The preparation of packing on muscle to compete at 160 could be career ending trying to lose that muscle to return to 147 and be dominate. To me Spence stands to screw his body up a la RJJ with his jump to HW, then trying to come back down to LHW.
TO me Spences options at 147 are just as challenging and exciting as a fight with Canelo at the present time .
