    Will Spence be a champion in three or more weight classes?

    He's comfortable right now at 147, fighting smaller opponents. Does he eventually win major titles at 154 and 160? Beyond that?

    He won't claim to take on challengers from 147-160 and just stay at 147 for the rest of his career, I'm sure of that.

    Sure, he could win titles at 154 and 160. I don't see him staying at WW for long, and next year is probably his last year there. So then on to 154 and eventually 160.

      But can he rule a division? I've my doubt about that.

      I'd pick Crawford to beat him at 147.

      154 is dead right now and he might be able to rule that division.

        154 is dead? Definitely wouldn't say that. He will try to rule 147, but think he only has a quick stop at 154 one way or another. Maybe two or three fights there where he goes for the title and then possibly trying to unify before moving to the other money division at 160. Only thing is, will some of the top MWs still be at 160 when he gets there? Will Canelo come down to MW after he fights Kovalev?

          At 154 he'd never fight his BFF Charlo, but Lara still has just enough left in the tank to put him to the test. I think he eventually goes to 154, either to avoid Bud, or pick the weakest link in the chain of champions. Beyond that, I have trouble seeing him as a 160 lb. title holder.

            WHo's in 154? Trout, Charlo, Hurd and the ghost of Lara? None of these clowns are world beaters...Spence will walk through all of them.

            Spence will get knocked out at 160.

              There's nothing for him at 154. The Crawford fight is what everyone wants to see.

              Anyway, I think Crawford is going to outbox/outsmart and beat him comfortably.

                I mean are you going to ignore JRock the current unified champion? 154 also has some younger/brewing fighters coming up like Lubin/Castano/Madrimov/etc. Far from a "dead" division.

                Spence will get knocked out at 160? Sure, that is possible.

                  There is a huge difference between fighting at 147 or 154. Lara, Munguia, Hurd, Williams are all very dangerous guys for him. very big and strong guys, I guess they hit much harder than welterweights. He probably beats Brook again, and maybe he beats Castano.

                    He definitely has the frame for it
