Ima take a leap but do you guys think in 2-3 years if Errol handles business he and Canelo will have to fight?

Side note I think he beats Thurman now too, yes I said it.
depends on how he does at 154. he wont have the size advantage at 154 and won't be able to just bully his way inside. those defensive flaws might get him sparked vs big dudes like lubin and charlo. by the time spence and canelo meet they'd both probably be over 30. can't see spence leaving welterweight for another couple years cause he wants to unify. but as of right now, he would really have to sharpen up his defense to beat canelo cause he's pretty much tailor made for canelo at the moment. come forward fighter who's susceptible to right hands and uppercuts. literally canelo's two best punches. canelo has better speed(slightly), better jab, better accuracy, and much better defense. not to mention, spence is vulnerable to combo punching, and canelo is one of the best combo punchers in the game. we already know styles make fights and canelo's style and skillset would be a nightmare for spence...and he wouldn't even have the size advantage to make up for it. as it stands, I can't think any way possible spence could beat canelo with his current attributes. but I expect spence to improve over the next few years so things could change. but right now 147 is perfect for him. he's devastating at this weight.

It sounds funny in hindsight but David Price used to seem legit. Olympic bronze etc. Didn't believe some of the hype he had e.g being the one to beat Wlad. And maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan him and Audley Harrison fell way off

So, Truth's next opponent is going to be one of these guys:

  1. Carlos Ocampo, 21-0 (12 KOs)
  2. Luis Collazo, 37-7 (20 KOs)
  3. Konstantin Ponomarev, 32-0 (13 KOs)



Who's next to face The Truth?:demonic:



#TruthSeekers
Collazo is the easiest fight to make
Ocampo is young, never fought outside of Mexico, never been in a scheduled 12 round fight... highly doubt he takes the fight
Ponomarev already turned him down before and never been in a scheduled 12 round fight... again, highly doubt he takes the fight

I hope it's Ponomarev though, we need more PBC/TR interaction... and he's the best out of those 3 in my opinion
