    thats 3 divisions above 147

      I agree. That would be a very fun and interesting fight. Especially, if Spence can take Canelo's punch. As we all know Spence has tremendous stamina and a very high workrate. While Canelo has tremendous upper body movement and is a lethal counter puncher.

        Power in both hands, speed, combos, ring iq, great defense and ability to roll with punches, and a granite chin to top it off.

        I would be a good fight but Canelo stops Spence inside of 10
        Canelo would beat him like a rented Mule.

          Nothing wrong with a fighter staying at one weight class. There’s no point of moving up just for the sake of moving up if the fights aren’t gonna be competitive.

            Yea, so did mikey Garcia...look how that worked out. That fight diminished a possible Garcia vs loma matchup and did absolutely zero for Spence.

              Spence can win this fight if it's held at 160. His keys to victory are to simply outbox Canelo from the outside with his jab, stay out of range and avoid the exchanges for the first half of the fight.

              Then by the second half of the fight use his superior athleticism by turning up the activity and workrate on Canelo; Especially to his lower body/torso. He can easily win this fight on points due to his high punch volume.

              However he cannot afford to eat too many clean punches early in the fight. Where Canelo is at his strongest.

                This is an unfair match up for Spence.

                Canelo would box his ears off and then lay his ass out by the 7th round, and walk to his corner screaming “MAN DOWN!” But in Spanish.

                Spence stands no chance against a highly skilled, and even more important, BATTLE TESTED, power puncher like Canelo.

                Ginger would leave Spence crawling back to his mama and papa in Dallas. Ol boy can’t handle somebody of Canelo’s caliber or experience.

                  Spence can easily bulk up to 175 lbs and be looked like an incredible hulk. Spence obliterates Canelo at 160, 168 and 175 believe me!

                    I think Canelo is too big and the style favors Canelo as well.

                      U know Spence started his profesional boxing career at 154 right? He can easily make 168. Canelo ain't staying at 175 he's just going up for business then going back down
