    Pac is a money fight. If I was Pac I'd go outwork Thurman first. It would make a Spence fight more lucrative.

    Spence vs. Hurd would be a huge PBC PPV event and a 50/50 fight... Spence vs. Charlo would be less competitive but not too far behind.

    True, but Erroll has better skills and defense.

    anyone can eat like crazy and get their weight up doesn't mean they are naturally that big you should know this come on

    many has to eat 8 meals a day to stay at 147 its not his natural weight class

    spence has to drain himself to make 147 BIG difference

    why does spence never mention bud? bud even walked up to him and made him say "why should he fight bud when he can fight Garcia?

    bud made spence look like a punk

    Bud would make spence look bad and bud is even smaller then spence

    Exactly fight Porter or move up I'm all for it . But it's to premature to say he has to move up maybe next year if he gets no fights

    No issue with him fighting Porter, he should. Thurman and Crawford are both still there at WW as well and are far bigger names and potential wins than anyone at JMW though...............

    The only fight at 147 I want to see right now is Crawford. They gonna keep marinating this until it's too late...Now it's really the time when they are both at their peaks.

    Because he doesn't even carry a lot of power at WW so going any higher in weight class will be suicide

    Because his prime world level talent is strength and physicality. Very basic skills.

    If he fought J Rock at 154, for example, he'd get absolutely schooled, no question.
