    Lets keep it a 1000

    Hes not fighting Keith his next bout

    Maybe late 2018, the fight will have to.build a little

    Winner of Collazo/Alexander? Seems most realistic

    Dont see him fighting Porter just yet

    Any other names?

    Spence says that he wants a fight in Texas, but does he want a stay busy fight or a legit defense?

    If the latter, then Porter or Garcia. If the former, then Diego Chavez? JSK? Berto?

    Adrian Granados, Jose Benavidez(?), Aslanbek Kozaev, Yordenis Ugas or Jessie Vargas would be fine.

    I'd really like to see Imam or Ali KO'd again:naughty2: so I'd be cool with that too.

    Should be Thurman, but he is injured. If in Texas it will be Garcia, if not it should be Porter...........Spence is afraid of Thurman..........

    What makes u say he is afraid of thurman?

    Brook was a way riskier fight ESPECIALLY IN THE UK

    With due respect to Spence's solid showing, he did luck out with Brook's broken face.

    Amir khan. There is 0.01% chance he can outbox Spence. If not we'll be treated a highlight KO

    I think that a fight with Thurman is realistic.
    People said that Thurman wouldn't face Garcia because he faced Porter first, so some boxing "fans" wanted Keith to face an easier opponent.
    I believe that Haymon's fighters are really in control of their own careers, That's why you have fighters like Thurman facing Garcia and Porter back to back or Errol Spence going to UK to face Kell Brook and also fighters like Deontay Wilder facing their kind of opponents.

    What is Jessie Vargas even doing? Since the Pacquiao fight I haven't heard a single thing from or about him. The guy should be in the prime of his career and has fought once in the last year.

    The inner cynic in me wants Spence to fight Berto, just to see Berto get another beating but I'm down for Spence/Vargas or Spence/Garcia.

    To tell the truth, I can't really see that much depth in the division. Apart from fights against Thurman and Porter, I can't really feel any excitement about any possible future Spence matchups in the division.

    I'd like a Lammont Peterson fight, Spence can get the lesser WBA belt to force the Thurman fight.

    Surely, what the hell is Imam or Ali doing to earn a shot? Haven't seen either of them since they have been stopped.
