Will Errol Spence Jr. ever be the same?

[PrimeBowe1992]

Following the WBC and IBF welterweight champions crash in October 2019 do you reckon he will ever be the same fighter again?
Trainer Derrick James has said “We’re looking at him, seeing how he react to what we’re working on in the gym. He’s good. His timing is good. Everything’s great. … He’s just like he was. Because now I’m watching him from a different perspective. And I’m looking to see if he’s slower. I don’t see it.”

He will be fine. Its the drinking problem that may be the career killer more than the crash. He is a very very lucky man to walk away from that crash but it does seem that he got away with only minor injuries. Lucky ****er.

I hope so. Besides Pac he was my favorite fighter.




Amazing he's alive.

I think it remains to be seen. Sometimes a person can appear all right on the surface; but when they’re pushed, you see what’s really there. I’d like to believe Spence I will come back 100%, but we won’t know for sure until a couple of fights into his comeback.

Im not trying to compare since these two are levels levels apart but look at verdejo who was fighting way lesser competition but after his motorcycle accident hes looked like hott trash and got kod by a nobody. Errol somehow survived that crash hes lucky to even be alive. It remains to be seen once he starts getting punched in a real fight we will see hownhe and his body react.

If you mean still afraid of Crawford, I hope not

Good comparison.

Verdejo always ****** and his loss came two years later. Thurman had a car crash, after nursing some spinal/nerve damage was quick to beat Porter then Garcia.

Accidents aren’t comparable, but Errol’s accident was awhile ago, he’s been training for awhile, and if no nerve damage/stiffness has appeared yet, it probably won’t at this point. If he looks like sht moving forward it’s because he’s not fighting Broken, inactive, or fat midgets like Brook, Peterson and Garcia or they took his juice away.

Spence's destiny is to be Meldrick Taylor 2.0. Still keeping F boy company and finding the bottom of the bottle. Wont be long until he cant make 147 and he'll be mixed up with rest of the trash at 154 hiding from Bud.

Agreed.

Wish he was injured in some other way because it makes car analogies confusing... but it’s like fixing up your wrecked car. Looks new, feels new, then you floor it (push your body to the limit) down the highway and you start to hearing funny sounds coming from the engine. Only time will tell what the situation is.
