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
