    You would've thought Errol would've jumped at the chance to face Terry given his penchant for trying clean out the 147 pound division of career 140 or 135 pounders coming up in weight. He's literally fought one career 147 pounder world champion since winning his first world title against Brook almost six years ago and he's only fought one other in his entire career. To be fair, he'll be facing his third one in his next defence.. oops! my bad.. I mean fight.. when he takes on a Thurman at 154 who will have only fought once in almost four years by the time he hobbles into the ring :facepalm:

    I heard it means nothing, that it was just a 'hold' for the date back when the fight was a serious possibility.

    But hopefully that source was wrong and this means something more.

    Take away Spence's driver's license until the fight.

    To be fair it was two (Porter and Ugas), unless I'm misunderstanding the qualification.

    Your avatar is disgusting, repulsive and disgraceful. A ban is in order.

    I think the best match ups in the sport that can made right now would generally be considered

    In no order

    Usyk vs Fury
    Crawford vs Spence
    Beterbiev vs Bivol

    All things being equal and they were all the same size I would favour all of them to beat Spence

    Usyk would box his ears off
    Bivol outboxes him too
    Beterbiev would knock him out
    Crawford can hurt and stop him but he can also win on points too

    Fury is a tougher one. Not because I think Spence could win, but rather because he's always the bigger man and we rarely see him facing opponents his own size. Granted even the version of Wlad he beat is a better win than any Spence has on his CV, though
