    What's interesting is that we haven't seen a picture of him after the accident.

    He's hiding his face better than the Phantom of the Opera.

    I also don't believe he's the same after the accident. All this secrecy means the accident affected him more than he's letting out.

    He said he was savage for surviving the accident. Maybe he left human civilization and is living like a wild animal somewhere.

    Think he will run into Walters in the Forest of the Lost Souls?

    He's been spending all of his free time thanking lord Jesus for every second he has above ground. That crash probably got him into a spiritual state of mind real quick. Got my man contemplating the what ifs.

    If he gets in the ring with Crawford he'll get some real damage now

    If he needs 1 year off to recover so be it, he won't forget how to fight that's for sure, no need to be on social media talkin **** getting people's hopes up, he needs to recover.

    How bout we wait before assuming. Time will tell what's going on. This also could be his team and Al Haymon building up anticipation of his come back.

    Hope he recovers but I don't think he'll be beating the best after this. Really long recovery time and is surely to affect his attributes

    he probably doesnt want to deal with people asking him wtf he was doing being in a situation like that. his grill is supposedly broke, so that might also be why hes laying low while in the shop. last i heard they were looking at returning in the spring.

    Yep the grill needs to be right, spence will not return if he feels he cant get back to his best. If he does return look for him to be hungier than ever, second chance at life not many get.
