    Jermall? He is much bigger and stronger than Spence, so he definitely has a shot for sure. And Jermall is really good on the inside. Go watch that fight again with JRock, it was really good!

I'd pick Spence to beat anyone at 147 including Crawford. Spence has never failed to comfortably make 147 and he is 29 years old and all done growing. He can stay at 147 or probably beat anyone at 154. He is much too small for middleweight and should stay out of that weight class. Middleweight has some bad MFers like Jermall, GGG and Canelo and he can't beat those guys in my opinion. Fighting much over your best fighting weight is foolish and has hurt lots of boxers like Mikey, Donaire, Rigo, Brook and Gonzalez and many others. Chase greatness but chase it with boxers your own size.
      Spence isn't beating Crawford.

      And jumping weight classes to prey on the weak or fighting boxers 2 weight classes below you is more like what Lomachenko does.

      At least Canelo fought GGG twice.

        Isn't Jermall the one at 160? I was alluding to the Charlo at 154. Spence is gonna wash him.

          We were talking about JRock and he fought Jermall, not Jermell. Only loses in JRock's career was to Jermall in a damn good fight.

          Spence does indeed get the best of Jermell in sparring. Doesn't necessarily mean it translates to an actual fight but yes, Spence would be the favorite in that fight.

              For a start, I think Spence will have a big problem with Porter. I wont even be surprised if Porter wins.

                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.
                He has no business at 160 and would be ****** to fight there. Why make things more difficult for yourself by fighting guys naturally heavier than you are. He is 29 and was done growing years ago. He will never be a middleweight and is smaller than Jr middleweights like Lara and Jermell who are 6 ft. tall with big shoulders compared to Spence who is 5 ft 9 inches. I hope he stays at 147 and beats the best welterweights for many years. There is nothing wrong with a boxer staying at his best weight. That's what smart boxers do.

                  I would love to see Spence vs Hurd... Thats a fight of the year written all over it.

                  But Spence been mentioned moving up years ago. Just let him finish what he started at 147. He 29, and close to unifying.

                  My question is...... Will dudes find another excuse to hate when he does.

                    He's 5'9", so I think he's too small for 160, but 154 is doable.

                    But, why does he need to move up there.

                    If he can comfortably stay in the glamor division in boxing, why wouldn't he.

                      If he was losing nobody would care.
                      But since he winning "haters" think it makes since to drop what he doing...Leave big 147 fights on the table and move up "right now"
