Comments Thread For: Spence on Next Three Fights - Garcia, Pacquiao, Then Crawford

[Fanofreason]

Crawford lmao. Dude went life and death with Gamboa

Crawford is most overrated at 147

[UNBANNED]

Spemce is huge for the weight? Are you trying to tell me that Spence is the same size as Hurd, Jermell, Erickson, Lubin, and Rosario?

Gtfoh!

Spence is 1 inch shorter than Jermell and 1 inch less reach. They're the same size.

[Doubledagger]

Dude Pacquiao beat a prime Keith Thurman and knocked him down in the fight. Pacquiao still has gas in the tank.

Complete lie. Spence is 5'9 and Mell Charlo is 5'11.

Also, there are guys at 145 like Haney who are 5'9, guys at 140 like Amir Imam and Robert Easter who are 5'11.

Boxing is about weight classes, not height or reach classes.

Spence is not as big as Lubin, Hurd, Charlo, and Rosario. He's not as big as Munguia and those guys.

He's making comfortably despite his lack of discipline and drunken ways.

If he remains disciplined, he'll never even have to move up in weight, though it would be ideal if he does after he takes care of Garcia, Pac, and Crawford.

Even if Spence wins all of them, he wouldn’t become an undisputed champ anymore (if this is one of his goals) IBF would have been gone from his hands by the time he reaches his 2nd fight or 3rd fight. With that said, it’s still good line-up of opponents If he manages to get them all. But imo, he could’ve gone straight to Crawford instead if making him last. Danny is no tune-up if that’s the excuse.

Why would he not have the IBF belt? Do you not know that unification bouts trump mandatory bouts so him fighting Pacquiao and Crawford after Danny is just fine.

Yooooo......

Let’s give that undersized a lot of respect for fighting 5 guys coming off losses (Mosley, Clottey, Brandon Rios, Broner and Margarito).

Let’s also give him respect for forcing a MW to cut weight to WW (Oscar), making a WW cut weight to 145 (Cotto) and a MW to cut weight to 150 (Margarito).

Let’s also give him respect for fighting virtual unknowns (Algieri and Horn) while ducking the top guys at WW.

Let’s also give him respect for fighting once at 135 to beat a fringe belt holder and once at 140 to beat a guy who had already lost his “0” for yet another belt so we can crown him an 8 division champion.

Let’s also give him respect for fighting Morales who had literally lost to Zahir Raheem. I mean why not fight Raheem?

Aaah!! What a great champion!!!

You are a sight for sore eyes. Someone that actually knows what they are talking about and can articulate it as well. Thank You!

He took Crawford last so he could hang on to that title for a couple more years. Plus he gets two more years of Crawford getting older. Trick out of the Mayweather playbook.

Aside from Shane and Oscar, whom both ducked Floyd as long as they could, Floyd stepped in the ring as the older fighter.

Truer words have never been spoken.

Let’s not forget two facts:
Mosley refused to fight Floyd after KOing Fernando Vargas. He said he had some problem with his tooth and had a family trip planned.

Two, Oscar demanded (and got) a bigger ring, chose the referee, the judges, the size of gloves (smaller in the hope he KO’s Floyd), bigger purse split and even put a rehydration clause in the contract to make sure Floyd doesn’t come under 150Ibs on fight night so as to slow Floyd.

He still got his ass handed to him despite all those limitations. He kept asking for a rematch but would he have fought Floyd at 147?

When Floyd fought Oscar, he was 30 and Oscar was 34. What’s the difference? It’s not like Oscar was 40 or even 38.

Spence’s last mandatory was 2018. By the end of 2020, he’d be long overdue for a mandatory shot. IBF has a strong reputation of forcing and striping belts for mandatories, even with unifications.

[Roadblock]

Dude Pacquiao beat a prime Keith Thurman and knocked him down in the fight. Pacquiao still has gas in the tank.

Dude Thurman was nowhere near his best, he came off a 2 yr off through injury and surgery and was nearly stopped by a B grader. You people wear Rose colored glasses.

If Errol is impressive beating Garcia Manny will not fight him.

I would definitely love to see all 3 of these fights. If I were pulling the strings I'd have him fight Pac first because of Pac's age. You can't let him get any older because ppl will try to say a win would be tarnished due to his age. Save Crawford for last and hope like hell that both Spence and Crawford still have their undefeated records intact when they finally clash. I think Spence Vs Crawford might be one of the most desired fights in boxing right now
