    What about Tim Bradley? Still a good fighter.

    Collazo seems likely when you weigh up everything.
    Not a fight that interests me tbh.

    Diff eye from the GGG fight was it not?

    I dno man its not like it fell apart on its own, spence clearly did the damage with his fists.

    Stop it. Luck had nothing to do with it.

    I'd love to see him fight Garcia just to see his daddy's reaction when he gets koed.

    How do you know he won't fight Thurman next? This may shock you, but some fighters actually have nuts and don't go the Floyd route of smaller, older and lower class fighters.

    i think there is 3 real options. and thurman is not one the considering injury.

    eggington, peterson, porter , its a long shot but maybe joesito lopez sense that kinda fight gets made alot in boxing . easy first defense

    It wasn't a shot at Floyd. I was using him as an example to make a point. The point is maybe Spence will fight Thurman soon, possibly even later this year. Why not? Not everybody runs away from a challenge.

    Vicious and relentless body work has always created massive "luck" for boxers who dispense it. And, it always will. A lot of top-tier boxers are going to be "unlucky" when they fight Spence. Attributing this win to luck is ludicrous and indirectly delegitimises numerous elite fighters for the last 100+ years. Because, if Spence won due to luck this time out, so did many, many others on a ton of previous occasions.

    Thurman will want to test his elbow coming off surgery. Spence has a ton of options including Vargas, Bradley, Garcia, Porter, Broker, Mathysse, Peterson.

    My pick would be Bradley but he's with Top Rank so...

    Exactly, he gets the easy 1st Defense

    Collazo or Peterson seem likely, not bad 1st defenses

    No way hes fighting Thurman or Garcia.or Porter next

    Not cause.hes.scared, just he will defend it once then get in with those guys

    I'd like to see him fight Peterson. It would make for a good scrap for as long as it lasts.
