What Top Welter Would Want To Fight Errol Spence Jr

Post by bnovelist »

Who? Brook, Garcia, Thurman, Porter, Broner, who in the right mind would fight this kid? Not even 10million would be enough to get me in the ring

against this young lion it's his STYLE. He beats you up downstairs and upstairs with every punch thrown almost. The only chances of beating this guy

is Manny because of his freak athleticism & Brook ONLY if the fight is in England! That's Brook's only chance. Massive crowd support for Brook,

holding and smothering Errol's attack like he did Porter, and biased referee helping out Brook. If it's not in England he can forget it! Seriously who

wants to get banged up in the body from this kid? Who would actually sign up to fight Errol Spence? sacrificial lamb fighting Spence lol. He's so damn

brutal even a warrior like Porter will rather avoid Spence unless his backs against the wall needing a bounce back fight if he loses to Thurman. No

way Thurman fights him, Garcia damn sure ain't fighting him lol

I just hope he wins his eliminator so we get to see Spence Jr. Vs. Brook

I just want to see Brook get tested. 36 fights and wins! Only credible name in that list is Shawn Porter. How do you go from him to Gavin, Dan and Bizier?

hype around Spence Jr isn't only his talent but he's endorsed given the Thumbs Up Approval :TU: by TBE man please Errol at this point beats

any welterweight and it would be a Dream Matchup in a couple of years Canelo vs Spence Jr! Spence Jr has the style to actually BEAT UP Canelo.

as someone else said, Tim Bradley would fight him next week. That would be an interesting fight to see.
Also, One Time Thurman would fight him, although if he beats Porter, he'll probably look for a bigger payday fight next.

you know what i mean how many times has a boxer said he has retired and come back. them 2 both had, and i thought pac man, was good against Bradley ,that hopefully he might have one more left in him, so i wasn't being funny when i said pacquaio i generally think spence is class and would like to see that fight

Lots of guys look unbeatable on their way up, then get clobbered when they reach the top level. (Kirkland, anyone?) Spence is a big talent, but let's see him beat someone better than Algieri before we start worshipping him.

+1.

Put him in with the Berto v Ortiz winner or The (heavily battered) Ghost for stay busy fights.

I wouldn't use Kirkland when referring to Spence, ever. Two totally different situations and potentials.
Also, why the hesitation? GGG and Kovalev were sure things after their first HBO appearances and this kid isn't?

Spence looks to have the tools. I hope they match him tough from here on out. It'll stop him from relying on his power too much.

I seriously doubt Spence gets clobbered facing top level opposition. He is quite a bit better than Kirkland. Spence will probably get hit more and the top level opponents will last more rounds. It always seems to happen that way.

3 years ago, Golovkin and Kovalev were champions, but still had hard time finding good opponents. Who wants to fight a very dangerous opponent with no name or money attached like Spence ? He will have to get to mandatory positions and force champions to either fight him or vacate.

Stop bringing up championships. Some fighters proved more getting to the #1 contender spot, than many champions with multiple defenses.

Spence is just as real as GGG in Sept 2012. If you were jizzing yourself over GGG then, you should feel the same way about Spence now.

Eyeball test, Spence looks better than Crawford.

But whatever, Spence is with PBC (that's a thing to many people), some guys here aren't attracted to his personality (because GGG's smiling 2 sentences of broken English ... "Big drama show", was entertaining), and various other stupid reasons that boil down to ethnic taste. (If Spence were British, he'd be selling out arenas. If he were a 126 pound Filipino, HBO would sell half the company to get him)

Spence is the most exciting/promising fighter is boxing's hottest weight range. Let's get some momentum behind the dude. GGG hasn't fought big names, but he's been able to clean out the top 10 in his division. Kovalev hasn't gotten Stevenson, but he's also cleaned out his division's top 10.

Cut the shit and get with the unanimous enthusiasm ... enthusiasm, not a coronation.

I saw an interview a couple of years back with Spence talking about sparring with Floyd. He was getting his ass handed to him at first, admitting he was giving Floyd too much respect. After getting over that he offered all Floyd could handle....and then some. The kid is the real deal, imo.

He said later he learned so much from Floyd, and how much he respected his work ethic. Floyd trained like he was poor. Floyd in the gym was a great role model for Spence.

I don't think anyone in the top 10 will be willing to fight him. Al Haymon will prob continue throwing Robert Guerrero in the furnace with this fight.

Spence can box beautifully, but as you said he's overly reliant on his power. Spence hasn't devised a way to box and use his power to augment it.
The truth is he won't need to in the short term. But if he has the ambition his talents merit, then he and his team will have to come up with something.
