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

Gotta see him in the ring to answer that.

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.

TBF, he's still made big money, whilst waiting.. What's he expected to make against Floyd or Pac? $10m-20m?
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?

Also HW David Rodriguez.
They are done with themselves before I'm done with them.

I get what you're saying.
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.
