Comments Thread For: Spence: Brook Can Drop Out of Golovkin Fight, Face Me Instead

[sicko]

Naw more money in fighting GGG even though Brook vs Spence Jr is what SHOULD be Next instead of a Welterweight Fighting a Middleweight

Damn Dunn, did I hit a nerve? Never really got the impression from past posts between you and I that you would resort to childish name calling but it is what it is I guess.

Anyways man, I stand by my original assessment of him regardless of the points you are trying to prove. The only reason why he has any exposure is because he has Mayweathers blessing which is HUGE dont get me wrong about that but there are lots of other guys in boxing that gained notoriety on their own merit, not piggybacking off a retired fighters blessing.

Just giving you my gut reaction. Floyd fans do not base Spence's talent off what Floyd has said.

Yes, Mayweather noting his talent has helped, but there are a those outside of Floyd that feel he has potential. Yes, being associated with Floyd and Haymon will get him more opportunities, just like if he were with GBP or TR.

I get that his hype is a little much at times but this kid is personable, humble and can really fight. I think he has earned much of his praise.

Its cool this is an opinionated site. 1 day I may think something you say is utterly ******ed lol!

And Im not saying the kid isnt talented because its obvious he is, he does speak well, and has a good attitude. I really like fighters that have a good father/son relationship. I just think people need to slow their role a bit, its a tad disrespectful saying this guy will clean out 147 when there are guys that have better wins then Bundu. Again though that comes from having people that take Floyds word for gold and sparring rumors out of the "Mayweather gym." Really guess I just learned to take things promoters say with a grain of salt. I really like Top Rank but if I believed everything Arum said, Id probably own property on the moon.

OK, my bad for the harshness. Floyd is his promoter so yeah, he surely is embellishing to get him more attention. I was thinking Floyd as a fighter and not head of MP.

Its cool bro, I was just a lil taken back at first. If it were someone else with less rep and agenda driven, I wouldve keyboarded up lol

In Europe, only hardcore boxing fans know who Spence is.

Id be surprised if brook ever fights at 147 again.

Yeah, I think Brook is done at 147 win, lose or draw against GGG.

They have a lot of good welters over there, that's why. Kell Brook and.....

[PunchyPotorff]

Not as much as GGG or Kovalev.

Name a WW with better D than Spence.

Point I was making is... the guy gets hit. Sorry I don't have the punchstat numbers tattooed into my brain. I know he's good, I'm just saying he ain't Superman. He ain't waltzing to the top of the heap without a few wakeup calls.

[Bossman15]

While, it's a very noble gesture by Spence but why would Brook do such a thing when he can earn a whole lot more money fighting Golovkin? I admit they are both very dangerous and risky opponents and he matches up better against Errol.

However there's more on the plus side for him by challenging Gennady than Spence because he's the bigger box office draw and much higher reward. Thereby, making it more than worth his risk.

But doesn't Brook get the same amount he was going to get for Vargas or less cause I thought he was getting 4 million for Vargas
