    There is no way that Brook will return to 147 just to take an ass whopping from Spence.
    Rather than going back to 147, Brook will probably vacate his IBF WW title and stay at Junior MW to fight a defeated Liam Smith or Jack Culcay.

    Well if Spence wants Brook so badly, then why doesn't he move his ass up to JMW where it belongs and stop forcing himself to make WW so he can beat up on smaller guys.

    Yes. HBO president wants him to fight Canelo so that him and GGG can have common opponents like the May/Pac fight.
    Canelo will fight Brook and Monroe and they will both be talking about who hits harder on the next "24/7 Canelo vs Golovkin".

    It's so predictable I would bet $1000 dollars on it.

    Spence makes 147 comfortably. Plus he has not collected all the belts at 147 no need to move up.

    2 loses back to back won't look good. He should have never fought GGG in the first place.

    WHY NOT? If he's as great as you think he is, shouldn't he move up and challenge himself, clearly you think he's unbeatable at 147, so what's the point in staying there? It's time to move up, there's no comp left for him at 147 RIGHT?

    He's ducking all the beasts at 154. Puffy Nips is clearly scared out of his mind to challenge himself, he prefers to face tiny WW guys with 30% KO ratios instead..

    Also unlike ggg, Spence will not just be awarded the belt but will have to fight for it. Another double standard. Spence will deal with it and benefits him anyways as a championship belt showcase.

    You're making a strawman argument. Look at the age difference between Spence Jr. and the other fighters you're obsessed about. There's time for Spence to both clean out 147, and move up later when/if he cannot make 147 comfortably anymore and you know it. There's matchups to make at 147 that we all want to see.

    Also, from what I have seen, Spence Jr. is very humble and wouldn't make a statement that he's the baddest man on the planet in a wide weight range. He's focused on what's in front of him and that's the IBF belt @ welterweight. He hasn't technically made it yet just has a great chance to do so.

    Because he has to unify 147. There are no BIG fights for him at 154. Not his fault that everybody is ducking him. Besides Spence is a "small" welterweight.

    :risas3: That must be one of the most silly responses yet.
    As if Spence has been hiding out in the division feeding on guppies like Golovkin has for the last 8 years.

    Spence is just turning from prospect to contender to, champion, once Brook vacates the belt rather than face the new Professional boxer and get KTFO.

    So I guess that means you understand GGG's predicament entirely right?
