Spence wants to go to 154
Spence wants to go to 154
He wants to be the #1 at 147, said he wants Thurman & Pac. Than go up to 154. #1 p4p his ultimate goal.
How do you see him against Thurman.Pac.Charlo bros..Lara.Andrade?
Can he become the top boss @ 147 & 154, coming into consideration along with guys like Loma or Crawford as the best boxer in the world?

Re: Spence wants to go to 154
Lubin looks to be a very good up and coming prospect at 154. Not as much talk about Lubin as there is Spence on the forum.

Re: Spence wants to go to 154
You beat me to it...my sentiments exactly!! Personally I think Spence can eventually win a world title as high as 160, but that doesnt mean he's anywhere near being ready for the big dogs at 154 just yet.Badhusker wrote:Let's see how the Brook fight goes first.Jip wrote:He wants to be the #1 at 147, said he wants Thurman & Pac.

Re: Spence wants to go to 154
The sky's the limit. He could be a champ at 60 too.
Re: Spence wants to go to 154
Errol has a tough job ahead of him in Brook... Kell is a great Welterweight... Errol needs to concentrate on 1 job at a time I would say.
This is going to be ONE HELL of a fight... Bitter.. Long.. Ferocious.. Take no prisoners WAR!!! .. There will be Blood.. Spence needs to steel himself
This is not Chris Algieri or Leonard Bundu who he blew away without trying... This is a different cup of tea

Re: Spence wants to go to 154
Yeah, he's got to keep north of Crawford and Garcia. ![[icon_twisted.gif] :twisted:](./images/smilies/icon_twisted.gif)
Re: Spence wants to go to 154
I think that the reason there is not as much talk is that he is still really young and 154 doesn't seem to get the attention that welter and middle do. Another mean southpaw with real solid skills, a sneaky straight left lead with good power, sharp right hook, solid body work, nice jab, good quickness. All action from what I have seen of him.SaadOffTheDeck wrote:I like lubin too, nobody ever mentions him.

Yes, he looks very promising, but he hasn't had a decent opponent yet. Algieri is better than anybody he faced.Tanzio wrote:I think that the reason there is not as much talk is that he is still really young and 154 doesn't seem to get the attention that welter and middle do.

Re: Spence wants to go to 154
I totaly forgot about lubin. Him against spence in a couple of years should be a great fight!!!
Re: Spence wants to go to 154
If he beats brook, then he'd have the best w at 147 in my book (excluding Pacquaio).
He seems to have the size to go up to 154 for sure.
As the others said though, it's difficult to talk accurately about a guy becoming a 2/3 weight champion when he hasn't beaten his first test yet

Re: Spence wants to go to 154
I tell you what is going to happen, they are two top fighters, it will be close and go the distance, Brook will get the nod of the judges.SFW wrote:I agreeNightmare Roy wrote:He is gonna blast Brook!
Re: Spence wants to go to 154
Has spence got or ever had an issue with his left eye?
It looks kinda like David Reid in the last interview of him I saw

Re: Spence wants to go to 154
I just got done watching Brook's last 3 fights and I have to admit that i'm starting to believe in the guy. The guy is so quick and slick and powerful. At first, I thought that Spence would demolish Brook but this fight just got very interesting to me after watching Brook again. He's a huge welterweight too. No one in that division can overpower him. I just hope he has an answer for Spence's speed. That's my only worry.Nightmare Roy wrote:I tell you what is going to happen, they are two top fighters, it will be close and go the distance, Brook will get the nod of the judges.SFW wrote:I agreeNightmare Roy wrote:He is gonna blast Brook!

Errol Spence Jr. won't be making the jump to 154lbs anytime soon... and it'll be a couple of years before he even considers it.Jip wrote:He wants to be the #1 at 147, said he wants Thurman & Pac. Than go up to 154. #1 p4p his ultimate goal.

Re: Spence wants to go to 154
He may be struggling with weight the same way as Brook does, so a move to 154 may be inevitable pretty soon.
Re: Spence wants to go to 154
Not sure about Garcia but I do think he should stay north of Crawford.Impractical Poster wrote:Yeah, he's got to keep north of Crawford and Garcia.
Re: Spence wants to go to 154
DUde is an enormous welterweight. Of course, he'll end up at 154 lbs. easily.
Re: Spence wants to go to 154
In a Crawford interview when him vs Spence is mentioned, it is the only time I have seen him hesitate, look very unsure of himself, and claim that Spence is moving up so it probably won't happen. Crawford seems ultra confident when talking about everyone else. Spence is quite a bit bigger. About 3 inches taller and walks around about 15 lbs + more than Crawford. Crawford vs Garcia would be interesting, as I read they split in the amateurs. I also read Crawford beat Mikey Garcia handily in the amateurs as well. Crawford will be a tough battle for anyone that gets in with him, you can bet on that. To me he is more versatile, great speed and moves much better laterally than Spence. Other than that, Spence has the size and strength advantages, along with a relentless body attack.Impractical Poster wrote:Yeah, he's got to keep north of Crawford and Garcia.

He's a better boxer than Spence and more proven. Spence hasn't faced anyone with exeptional speed or power and only gets hyped because of a rumored sparring session with Floyd where they leave out that Floyd almost stopped him.
Re: Spence wants to go to 154
Don't count your chickens before they hatch as they say. I think he's got plenty on his plate this coming up weekend before he plans on his future moves.
