Comments Thread For: Errol Spence: No Tuneup - I Want a Top Guy in My Return!

It's hard to compare Leonard vs Hearns because Boxing was still a MAINSTREAM Sport in 1981. Ray Leonard for whatever it's worth was the next BIG star following Muhammad Ali along with him being an Olympic Gold Medalist, the Duran fights, etc. Crawford and Spence are the two top Welters in Boxing but without a fraction of the popularity to get the casual public behind them and or know on a 1st name basis. The problem I see is Al Haymon can put Spence in fights within that bubble for another calendar year. They're not concerned with Crawford until it's the only option, unfortunately.

Canelo I think is going to end up fully at Super Middleweight / Light Heavy by the time Spence gets to 160... and let's see how Crawford vs Spence ends up 1st.

That's facts! Olympic Boxing also still meant something back in the 1980s! SRL got the push from, Montreal! Spence and Crawford don't have that! That's what makes me wonder if Spence vs. Crawford will happen at all? Not sure if it's big enough to be on both ESPN and FOX. If Spence did get an offer to fight Canelo @ 160 before Crawford, he would be a fool to turn it down!

Looking forward to seeing Ortiz and Ennis get big fights in this division.

I'm not puerto rican and Thurman would beat Spence too he gets hit too much.

Manny also gets hit too many times! His fights are typically wars ... Marquez, Morales, Bradley, Barrera, even Thurman tagged him so many times.

Not everyone can be Floyd but if you can win it that’s all that matters, no?

I'm thinking the same. There's a GOOD chance that fight never happens. Both sides just haven't set a legit plan to make it happen even if it mean Spence fighting Danny and Crawford fighting whomever and setting the stage from there. Obviously the accident killed any momentum it had and we still have to see how Spence looks but I can't see how they can ride it out any longer IF Pacquiao removes himself from the equation.
