    Errol Spence said very recently that he would fight Canelo (pre-doping version) at 160... Just cancel the Ocampo fight and see if he could do what Kell couldn't. Spence is a crazy Weight Bully™, so he's probably the same size as Golo.

    Spence don’t want a broken eye socket he’s already seen first hand how that will affect rest of his career.

    You can’t be serious. GGG wanting to fight Spence is enough to silence The Truth’s Twitter account. We haven’t heard anything about “Evil Twin” wanting to take Canelo’s place on 5 May.

    Spence called out a cash cow in Canelo.... That's all it was. The same thing a ton of other fighters do, call out cash cows, ignore the 'scrubs'...

    From the scene
    Ronnie Shields, trainer of top middleweight contender Jermall Charlo (26-0, 20 KOs), says his boxer was ready and willing to fight IBF, WBA, WBC, IBO champion Gennady Golovkin (37-0-1, 33 KOs) - but the World Boxing Council told them to wait.

    Sorta want to call BS on that. There's no reason they wouldn't approve him.

    I read this also, but I’m not buying it. Given what would likely be a HUGE increase in his purse for stepping in against GGG, I’m sure it wouldn’t have been difficult to negotiate a step aside fee for Hugo “Jermall’s son, J-Rock, already had his way with me” Centeno.

    Plus I still think Jacobs pulled Jermall’s punk card a few weeks ago.

    Shields doing the talking for Charlo has has been absolutely SILENT since Canelo pissed red.

    Remember when everyone featherweight through super middleweight talked like they wanted a piece of Floyd and Manny? Same thang.

    Spence wanted Canelo, which isn't the same as him wanting Golovkin, with no reason to believe he should want that fight either.
    Canelo is the bigger star, brings more money and is a somewhat lesser fighter.

    It's almost as bogus a reasoning as assuming Golovkin would go down to 154 for Canelo because he offered it to Floyd, which had so many differences and nuances to it that it was like comparing a truck to an elephant because they weigh about the same.

    Charlo refused the fight because Golovkin is not crippled....................Charlo became famous by beating a cripple who could hardly walk.................he could have fought Jacobs.............but Jacobs is a cruiserweight.....................
