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

To smaller fighters that aren't his own size? yeah, he'll wreak them.

You mean like Floyd was?

Oops

You mean like Floyd was?

Oops

If he's drained and has little experience? If he's fighting the best fighter in the world? Then no.

If he's experienced and fully hydrated to Cruiserweight? Hell yeah.

Anyone thinking Spence fighting Canelo now is equal to Canelo fighting Floyd back then, is beyond help.

let's wait maybe 8 years for this chit to happen

Spence is skill-wise now what Floyd was around Sharmba Mitchell timeframe, with slightly less defensive prowess and slightly more power.

Anyone that can't see that is blind with bias. The fight against Danny should have removed all doubt for anyone paying attention to boxing skills.

Spence and any version of Floyd fight nothing alike.

We're talking about the Floyd that fought Canelo, not a shot to bits Mitchell many years earlier.

Who said Spence isn't skilled? You're saying he's equal to Floyd which is delusion. Not once did i claim Spence to be unskilled.

Besides, Garcia is very stuck in the mud and isn't world level. being able to outclass him isn't exactly something to shout about. Every world level fighter and even those below have clearly beaten Garcia since his only win of note against Khan years ago at 140.

Everything in your post is just a biased rant.

Everything in your post is just a biased rant.

Can you be specific? I'm pretty sure everything i said was true. Unless you can point out otherwise?

This is just avoiding everything and means very little this post.

One of two things will happen in 2021. Bookmark this post.

1. Crawford loses a suspect decision and drops the title.
2. Crawford joins PBC, which will result in him fighting (and losing to) Shawn Porter.


If either happen, Keef will be right there to pick up the title, then you'll see Spence/Keef to unify.


Manny is very likely to retire next year, which vacates that title and sets up an eliminator between Ugas and Ortiz. I have Ortiz winning that fight decisively.

Keef is not beating Spence, so he'll be retired in a year or two. I suspect Swift will retire after his fight.


That leaves Spence vs. Ortiz - meanwhile you'll have some dudes moving up as contenders.


If Crawford doesn't choose option 2 before option 1, he's not even in the conversation.

Let boxing continue to die then. Y'all have all sorts of excuses for not seeing top undefeated fighters fight. There is nobody more important to Spence future than Bud Crawford. If he don't fight Bud really soon don't tell me about no Spence no more!

One is fighting at 168, the other is fighting at 147. What are we talking about here?

Ofcourse it’s not

Spence is 30 yrs old in his absolute prime while canelo was a green dehydrated 22 yr old.
