spence is getting hyped right now, maybe not because of his rescent wins, but mostly because he looks very promising.

i do not believe he will ever get near the top spot on a p4p list, but i have to say he has great height % physic for a welterweight, he stands good behind his guard, his fundamentals are solid and he is realy good at putting pressure with his well placed accurate quick shots, opponents exhaust round by round.

now what happens, when there is not a c-level guy infront of him, what happens when someone can take it and put pressure himself?

down the line, this fight will get made, expect this happening 2017-2018. who do you see the winner. thurman punches way harder, but seems to lack the athletic ability of spence.

I think Thurman earned himself a money fight before getting put in with Spence Jr.

thats why i say at the end of my post "expect this fight happening 2017-2018, by than thurman will surely have made good cash by facing guys like maidana, bradley or khan, hell maybe even manny or floyd, who knows what happens in 24 month..

You've got to let this kid Spence breath a little before seeing what he's got against the elite in the division. The world barely knew the kid 3 weeks ago and now that they know they have something, they should build it up with steady increases in opposition before taking a bite like this. This fight is multiple years away.

I chose Spence, just because I am starting to get sick of hearing Thurman's arrogant rants. I do think it would be a good fight. Thurman fighting Collazo is kind of a joke besides. He didn't seem to keen on fighting Spence, but had no problem taking on a washed up Collazo, which is kind of funny.

While it is early for Spence to take on Thurman, I think that it would be very competitive and that it could go either way. I think that Spence is far more prepared for Thurman than Canelo was for FMJ.

A few more fights under his belt first would make sense for Errol though.

Spence isn't ready for Thurman. But if his team step up his competition, I expect he'll be ready two years from now.

Although even then I don't think he'll beat Thurman.

I have said before that I was not sure if Spence was quite ready for Thurman or the top guys, but apparently Floyd does, so maybe he knows something we don't? Spence said he was down for fighting either Thurman, Porter, or Khan for the belt on Floyd's undercard. So far no one is stepping up to take the challenge. Too high of a risk fight for those three? Obviously a good reward involved with the belt and world-wide exposure.
