    I think he might just be yeah. It's time for the acid test, but I'm very impressed with his progress thus far. I really look forward to watching him step up.

    He is very strong for his weight. He may be able to fill a Middleweight body soon yet.

    He looks a boss to me, nice to see a good southpaw that stands their ground like that. The guy seems very aware and patient, mean body attack, accurate and nice variety with a nasty uppercut, I like him. It didn't seem like the Italian guy he fought came with anything much though, so he clearly needs a test . Who are likely opponents for him? A few guys like Guerrero, Berto, Ortiz etc would be great, or Collazo if Thurman wasn't fighting him. He is with Golden boy right? Not sure if that hurts him getting matched up with Haymon guys or not these days. He and Crawford could be a superfight in a couple of years....

    A Spence/Crawford fight would be something to see. But I am waiting patiently on a Crawford/Garcia fight, quite frankly.

    Thurman says he would take the fight. But Thurman should be chasing top guys now. Plus, Thurman can knock him out, more so than anyone in the division. Not sure Spence is really for that just yet.

    Ortiz, Berto, Guerrero or Soto-Karass would do well right about now.

    He is thought of very highly and Derrick James, his trainer, gets a lot of credit for taking him from amateur to pro.
    I know a guy that has sparred with him many times over a five year span. Says he has grown stronger, is in top shape all the time. His right hook is his best punch, I've been told.

    Liking this one more and more. Very sharp punch selection and keeps a level head, sits down on shots top notch. It sounds like Floyd wants to fast track him for Sept. card and wouldn't be shocked to see him in some 'interim' belt match...seems Berto has been in the news a lot lately Mayweather drops wba as talked about? Thurman, Khan, Porter...the top of that division is getting ready to be mixed and busy!

    He could be yeah.

    He has walked through every opponent and has never looked like he was out of first gear.

    Saw some clips of him and he looks good. This was the guy with big glasses next to Floyd when he said he would not fight Khan.

    Where did you see Thurman say he would take the fight? I ask because I've read repeatedly that Thurman isn't interested. Spence wants Thurman or Porter September 12th for a title. Neither seems interested from what I've read.

    Looks the business so far. "Special" is pushing it a bit

    I saw an interview last week with Thurman - he said he'd be happy to knock the boy out but he has a lot to prove before he's at his level. Which is fair enough.

    That's a no. He might very well KO Spence but Thurman hasn't done much more than Spence, Thurman has been managed very carefully. Difference is Spence is eager to step up, Thurman is looking for a payday. Thurman should be happy to fight Spence for a title, he should be calling for Brook, these are the show me fights. But he talks about Pac and Floyd(paydays) while fighting frickin Collazo. He's no different than Khan, a talent that won't earn his shot.
