If Spence wasn't waiting on Brook for a title shot I think he would. Too bad, I would love to see it.

I think that Spence would beat the current version of Bradley who I believe is quite shot worn at this point. He may have even beaten the prime version of Bradley- who knows.

Spence is the mandatory for Brook so why would he fight an eliminator? Especially as the rumors are Brook does not want to fight him and will vacate to move to 154 or fight Khan.

Brook has the IBF title so if Spence win the WBC eliminator he becomes mandatory for Brook and the winner of Garcia-Thurman. So a couple of option means more leverage in negociation.

Huh? I'm pretty sure that if Spence fought in a WBC eliminator he would involuntarily give up his No1 ranking with the IBF. The governing bodies don't tend to like it when you fight for one of the other main governing bodies.

He'd fight anyone for a belt. Already did his eliminators, next fight is for the info strap.

Because haymon does not want to risk spence losing to brook - spence is going the next protected haymon fraud who will engage in a long series of fixed set ups and never lose - this is further proof that haymon has an alliance with the wbc -

You just have to realize spence is a crown jewel for haymon and is extremely protected - Brook is far too risky for spence who is a big part of haymons long term plans -
