Is Errol Spence "special"??

F names! People should fight talented fighters not names.

Why doesn't Floyd fight Errol Spence then? If Floyd thinks he's good enough to beat Thurman or Porter then Floyd should fight him, right? Don't make sense to duck him

I'd love to see it. Anyone fighting talented fighters is good. Let the Rios, Collazo, Alexander types fight each other and the more talented people fight each other. All i see lined up is showcase fights anymore and it gets worse all the time. Let someone prove themself so we don't have to debate it.

Yeah it would be great if us fans could make the matches. But boxing is a business. It's about making money for EVERY fighter and everyone involved with them.

Back in the day, before Floyd became superduper rich, he was offered $8 million to fight Margarito and $8 million to fight Baldomir. Now everyone knows the Margarito fight was infinitely more appealing for the fans but much more dangerous for Floyd.

So Floyd took the easy option for the same money. Makes perfect sense. Now if Floyd was offered $16 million to fight Margarito i'm sure he would have taken the tougher challenge. Business.

and it doesnt really work this way "Let the Rios, Collazo, Alexander types fight each other "

say rios fights collazo now and wins, collazo drops down a peg, maybe he gets allexander as a last chance at that level, maybe he doesnt

rios is gonna want to fight someone with a bigger name if he can get the fight, if he cant then maybe he will fight an alexander type, if he wins that then he will be really upset if he doesnt get a bigger name

and then a bigger name fights a bigger name and loses so he would then drop down to fight a second level name to try and prove himself to fight a bigger name again

thing is he has to pick his second level name carefully otherwise he might look shit, or get little credit for his win, or even be in a styles make fights fight and lose, so the "rios, collazo, allexander" fighter gets his go at the bigger name

so in the end it would end up exactly like it is now, people trying to pick the right fights to improve their shit

Spence is a killer. The ref has to keep a close eye on his opponents when they are hurt. He can kill someone in the ring.

Just happened to be surfing youtube and watched a couple of videos about him and apparently the hype is real. Usually when things are untrue people will vehemently deny them especially in the boxing world but there were rumors about him knocking out Broner a few years back in sparring and peoe were just like ....."no comment". Also I saw a few about him giving Floyd the black eye and no one outright denied it in the videos I saw.

Spence is talented and has all the right ingredients behind him to take him to the top. I'm going to hold of on the 'Special' tag for now until I see him face a little adversity.

Again though the key difference is Floyd has fought a who's who in the sport and Thurman has not. Thurman needs challenges. Not the biggest payday in the sport. Everyone skips steps now. They want to get known, then get paid. Look at Manny, Cotto, Floyd, Hatton etcetera. They got known, won big fights, then got paid. GGG is trying to skip the big fights step, Thurman is, Khan is, Brook is it goes on and on. Everyone has a reason why they won't fight someone. It needs to go away. The new generation needs to man up. Finally. Some of the champions today have been champions for years and still haven't fought anyone good.
