    Was his marketability just entirely gone after that for being able to face Pac? He couldn't come back after 1 fight on his undercard then fight Pac?

    It was a very hard loss, hard to recover from physically, reputation wise etc.

    Dunno, man. Mike Jones then went on to lose to some bum after and was never heard from/seen again.

    For all the Spence haters out there, Jones was an actual big welterweight. He wasn't a measly 5'9 like Spence

    Not a Spence hater, but I do think he will lose by shock KO at some point.

    That wasn't aimed at you specifically. I was aiming that at the Spence haters who repeatedly claim he's a weight bully, and a massive welterweight. Jones is just one of several welters of the last 10 years who was bigger than Spence.

    No offense taken. I was just replying to your post. I agree with you, there were quite a few WWs who were bigger than Spence: Mike Jones, PWill, Margarito come quickly to mind.

    I hope Spence stays hungry. Seeing him with Tank and Broner, likely under the influence too, does not inspire confidence that he will.

    I don’t understand why PBC is so willing to let an ambitious fighter like Spence sit on the shelf waiting for fighters who seem reluctant to fight him.

    He should stay as busy as possible, beat up anyone in he top 10 who will step up, and give Kell the rematch that he’s asking for. This could build his highlight reel and profile. It would also help him clean up his “side of the street” well enough that the other names would be forced to step up.
