Comments Thread For: Errol Spence: A Fight With Canelo Would Be Awesome at 160-Pounds

[BLASTER1]

spence should win even if hes lost a step after the crash

I agree.
It seems to me that Danny is just a Haymon stepping stone to make Errol the man.
I know Danny always comes to win but unless Spences resistance is at the standard of Brooks then Errol will win a Majority decision.
I think Spence will box, kinda like he did against Mikey.
He will use his jab, and go to the body as much as possible.

Spence said the same thing years ago...this is just PPV sales talking.

Canelo ruins Spence but the weights are too far off. Wont happen

It ain’t gonna happen Errol, and you’re too small and he’s too big

Couple of physical problems making this fight. Firstly, not so sure Canelo can/or will want to make 160 again after practically taking a year out.

But more worryingly, I have concerns for Spences body after that car crash. The integrety of his structure has been broken, bit like when Brook's first eye socket went. The strength/integrity of his skull was forever damaged. A car for example is never the same structurally after a severe accident, there's always compromises and how much more delicate and complex is the human body to a car?

I remember reading an article recently on a Danish footballer who was lucky to come out with his life after he wrote his Aston Martin off driving to training. He said though he never made it public and despite being early 20's he could never achieve the same levels of fitness and performance as multiple niggles wouldn't allow for it. And how much more physically taxing is boxing to playing football?

Brook was never the same after GGG and I'm fairly sure flying out of that Ferrari provided a stiffer beating. Hope I'm wrong but I like watching Spence and don't want to see him unravel under the bright lights to a lesser fighter in Garica.

Yes, let's see how Spence looks next week. Danny Garcia is a top guy at 147, no easy fight for any other welter, and a tough choice for a comeback fight after such a massive trauma.

As regards Canelo-Spence, it's unlikely for that to happen anytime soon and the longer Alvarez fights above 160 the less likely he is to come back down. Highly likely that, if he beats Garcia, Spence moves to 154 unless Haymon gets him Pacquiao.

"It'd be an awesome fight at 160 pounds," Spence tells TMZ Sports ..."Especially if we have it at the Cowboys stadium!"

Hell Yeah! I don't know if Canelo can make it back to 160, but if he can, they got my $100!

Apparently nothing got broken in the car crash and it was mostly cuts, abrasions and swelling.
Its un-heard of to not break a bone in an accident that brutal.
The man is very lucky.
One thing to look out for will be cuts opening up on his face and maybe swelling around the jaw and eyes.

It might be awesome for his bank account but not so much for his brain

[Drew Bundini Br]

Spence is helping to hype his fight with Garcia by throwing out Canelo's name. Everybody used to call out Mayweathers name to help hype their fights.

His teeth got broken & he apparently had to get them reconstructed & had to get 2 teeth removed apparently.

Anyways Spence should still be the same as before imho & he would make a live opponent for anyone at 160 imo,I think hed be on an even playing field despite the power disadvantage because he is fast long & athletic which might mean hes stronger at 160 from not having to drain himself.
