... so, no "legacy fights" at 154 for Spence?...

Oh yeah, but he needs to go for Canelo first, then fall back to 154! He can't do it vice versa, because Canelo might move up, and he'll miss the opportunity! If Thurman and Spence win, and Thurman is still on that "late 2020" BS, Spence should fight Crawford in 2019, and shoot for Canelo in May 2020!

We both agree and BOTH walk around at the same weight. Go read Dougie Fich article of them. Good read how he breaks down their sizes. I’ve never seen Spence live but Canelo is not that big. He is more like 5’ 7ish. His upper body is normal but he does have trunks for legs.

Size won't be a factor! Spence spars with Jermell Charlo, and he's like 175 when not cutting down for fights! Crawford is a "legacy" fight, but that does NOT top Canelo!

Bronx2245, dear... Canelo and (especially) ODLH really don't give a fuck about such a fight... tbh...

Not many big names at 154???

Lara? Charlo? Hurd?? He’s right Canelo is his meal ticket and Spence is actually bigger than Canelo. Dougie Fisch. did a good breakdown of both their sizes last week or two. Canelo has huge legs and lower body while Spence is more evened out but taller and longer reach.



But like Bread said GGG has has POWER and Canelo took his best shots. No way does Spence walk down Canelo like Mikey....

Spence is Lara 2.0! Faster, more power, and much more aggressive! Should be a great match-up if it ever happens!

They probably don't, but with Spence's connections to Jerry Jones, I think it may happen! Lots of dough on the table! Can you imagine AT & T attendance numbers for Canelo vs. Spence Jr.?

... but I can't imagine De La Hoya making fights with Haymon... tbh...

It will be a shame if Errol Spence doesn't get his legacy fights at welterweight.

Especially since PBC has all of the top welters except one. There's no excuse not to make those fights happen.

Yeah...that part!

That's why I hope Pacquiao KO's Thurman! Thurman is the worst!

Yeah, I'm kind of hoping the same thing.

Pacquiao isn't a punk. He would actually fight Spence.
