Yeah, doesn't mean he's sparring next week. But he's good.

Gotta see him in the ring to answer that.

Re: Boxers you are now done with. Why?
Spence is apparently well enough to walk around and perform daily duties of life. But anyone who was ejected from a car at high speeds most likely received at least as much head trauma as a brutal KO in the boxing ring. That could easily affect Errol's timing & equilibrium.
Fernando Vargas comes to mind as a fighter who was never quite the same after his brutal KO loss to Tito Trinidad. In Feroz's very next fight he was badly hurt by light-hitting Wilfredo Rivera and he was badly faded when he retired at age 29.
That's why many folks believe Spence needs a tune-up with a lesser fighter before he defends his welter title against a legit contender. Even fighters with lesser injuries like Keith Thurman fought an easy fight with a lower-tier fighter Josesito Lopez after a long layoff & Keith had MAJOR troubles with Lopez.

Kal Yafai.
I was impressed with his performance when he won the title, but since then he has fought mediocre opposition and looked poor.

Amir Khan - Has mostly sat on his arse for the last half a dozen years waiting for Megabucks fights to land on his doorstep whilst the best welterweight division in 30 years passed him by. ![[icon_witsend.gif] :witzend:](./images/smilies/icon_witsend.gif)

TBF, he's still made big money, whilst waiting.. What's he expected to make against Floyd or Pac? $10m-20m?Syntax Error wrote: ↑03 Dec 2019, 07:52 Amir Khan - Has mostly sat on his arse for the last half a dozen years waiting for Megabucks fights to land on his doorstep whilst the best welterweight division in 30 years passed him by.![]()
He made $5m guarantee against Crawford and a further $7m in Saudi (sources say he's still due some)..
That's over $10 still..
It's frustrating as a fan.
His best win at WW is...... Devon?

Guys like this.....https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/375301
Thought he had a Jimmy Young thing going and he just stopped fighting.
Also HW David Rodriguez.
They are done with themselves before I'm done with them.

I'm just frustrated with him because I used to be a big fan of his and I do enjoy watching him.
Even now, despite all his idleness, he still has one of the best résumés in British boxing.
I just feel that rather than lying idle, he could have targeted the likes of Danny Garcia at 147, Shawn Porter, Keith Thurman and a certain Kell Brook.
All good fighters and all big fights.
If he had beaten guys of that calibre, Mayweather could not have ignored him.
