    Maybe and Maybe not. Crawford said 60/40 money split in his favor or no Spence fight so the fight may never happen even if Spence stays a 147.

      Exactly who is Spence gonna beat at 154 fir a title? Cuz he ain’t beating jermell. I don’t think he beats Hurd either. He may struggle to beat j rock if he trains properly

        Are you dumb?

        Jermell beat all of them and he loses sparring sessions to a welterweight....guess who that welterweight is?

          You do realise that Spence will be much stronger at 154lbs then he is at 147 right?

          Spence won't be blowing himself up he will be fighting more at his natural weight than anything else.

          When he called out Canelo and wanted to fight him, he said he was only operating at 70 percent of his capacity at 147lbs because of the weight cut and would be 100 percent at 154 and 160.

          Kinda makes sense really, Brook also looked much stronger when he faced GGG, he even lifted GGG off his feet, TWICE, with uppercuts.

          Only problem was Brook didn't have the durability. Had the strength and the power, but his face, well, we know what Spence and GGG did to his face.

            I’m definitely dumb, because a guy without one punch power at WW isn’t gonna develop it in the next weight class. As you go up in weight classes and fight better combo, power doesn’t increase. History has shown us that. It either stays the same or decreases. Unless you’re roiding.

                Just telling you what I was told.

                I don’t know if it’s true, I was told by someone I trust though.
                We know this. Errol told Bud Al had a list and he wasn’t on it.
                Errol never planned on fighting Bud and the night of the D. Garcia fight he made it clear.

                  What does that have to do with the fact Spence would be at a much more natural weight for himself and also his skills?

                  Skills = power? We know the guy spars super middle weights in camp as he prepares for fights because before sucking down to 147 he’s huge and in shape. How does he hang with them with no power?

                  And where did u get that Spence doesn’t carry it? Very confused.

                    For what it's worth Spence beat J Rock comfortably in the amatuers, but Spence lost to Brian Castano in the amatuers, he also lost to Omar Figueroa Jr.

                    Seeing he lost to Castano and Figueroa Jr. in hindsight makes the fact Porter gave him his toughest fight to date a little less suprising. Seems Spence has trouble with a specific style.

                      How thick are people that think Spence is allowed to take this fight without Crawford joining PBC? Haymon is dead set on keeping his belts in-house only. He wont ever take a risk, no matter how small.
