Errol Spence is the truth.

Shame Floyd is retired, Spence would've given him his toughest test at welterweight.

He is very good but brook would have beaten him if he had more heart, no way he would have tested Floyd imo

I'm gonna hold off until he fights someone better, yes Brook and Lamont are decent measuring sticks but I'd like to see him fight Thurman before I give it the claim to greatness approval.

Spence is good but I'd like to see him fight a puncher first.

Thurman wants no part of Spence.

Spence has been itching to fight him but Keith is ducking.

Then Errol's "greatness" test will lie outside of his weight division, however ............

His style won't lend well to fighting MW's etc, he doesn't hit hard enough, he's more technical, that's not his fault however, he shouldn't really have to go outside his weight to prove anything but there's not really any danger men atm at Welter to get excited about.

Terence Crawford has moved up to welter.

He is no.1 pound for pound in they eyes of many, if he carries his power with him Spence vs Crawford is the fight to make.

He is possibly the most skilled boxer in the game, switches between southpaw and orthodox seamlessly.

Would be a tremendous fight.

Murat Guisev (however its spelt) vs Dorcios - amazing CW fight.

Eubank Jr vs Grove is going to be an all British event war.

Joshua vs Parker ........ amazing set up for Wilder.

All this kicks off in February.

Not interested, first one was a fix for rinse and repeat money fight.

I'm genuinely done with boxing's freak show's.

For me Eubank Jr vs Groves holds much more appeal, that'll be a fight, also can't wait for Murat Guisev vs Dorcios and then Joshua vs Parker.

These are the ones for me.

It was still a great fight though regardless of the decision, agree I am more excited for the eubank groves fight though, would be more hyped as well to see Saunders vs golovkin/canelo I think he is a bad match up for canelo, has the tools to give golovkin some difficulties to.

The Glovokin fight went exactly as expected.

The only thing they're hoping now is that he's showing signs of slowing down, I've got no interest in them fixing rematches and hounding the man so they can eventually catch him and force Canelo into becoming this Latin American $$$ machine they're all praying he will become.

A lot of American boxing to me has become irrelevant.

I've enjoyed the Boxing Super Series and Anthony Joshua etc a lot more than anything stateside.

The fact that hardly any Americans bothered with the Super Series just show's their arrogance.

Now take Joshua for example, wants he beats Parker ......... why the fk should he even fight Wilder?? Wilder has been stuck stateside fighting bums while Joshua has been lighting up the HW division collecting all the belts bar Wilder's.

Then Wilder wants to just jump on the wagon with a dream mega fight while he only puts up one measly belt while Joshua will be risking 3??

Joshua was right, Wilder's management are a bunch of clowns.

Wtf.

You are the one who has been saying Wilder would beat Joshua and calling him the best HW.

You think so? I think Wilder could batter AJ.

Not sure why you think the best HW in the world is a pubber?

Quote me where I said Wilder couldn't beat Joshua?

What I said was if Joshua is has gone out and got 3 belts while Wilder is just sitting in America doing fk all then why should Joshua give him the opportunity to walk away undisputed?

Wilder should have made an effort to get a 2nd belt ........ hence the "His management sucks" comment.

I never said anything about who would beat who.

Murat Gassiev vs Dorcios on ITV 4 in a couple hours, going to watch it straight after the Arsenal match.

Cannot fkin wait.
