    I would like to see Vanes vs Spike on Canelo's undercard in Sept. I want to see how good Spike really is. I know Ggg would knock him out, let Vanes fight him.

    Would be a good fight, Vanessa would get a much better camp and would come to win not lie down like he did tonight.

    Think it isn't a bad match up for Spike, Vanessa is a good boxer but he throws a lot of punches so is hittable. I think if people think well he went the distance with Andrade, Lara and Charlo he will take Spikes power than they can think again.

    Spike is a strongly built middleweight with born punching power. The guy hits very hard! and Vanessa doesn't have enough to hurt him, he will need to use his smarts and movement. I think Spike might just walk his ass down tbh.

    Vanessa likes to fight too much, bad tactics against Spike when you can't punch.

    I wouldn't say should be made at all.

    Vanes hasn't had a win in years, and Spike is on a roll. Spike is due a name tbh or a fight for a ranking. Vanes needs to get a win on the board his record over the past 6 years is 4-4-1

    Ffs AJ hadn't even won the Olympics 6 years ago!!!!

    9 fights and 4 wins in 6 years!!!!

    Has Spike been offered this fight?

    Why would you like to see it so much?

    Nope. Canelo v GGG in September. Perhaps if they hadn't fought before, but since they have, Canelo knows what to expect. Too much money. Won't leave it on the table.

    Nah, Oscar and canelo got exactly what they wanted, out of the last fight and more time to prepare and hope ggg gets old.
    2 straight losses for canelo would hurt his cache.
