Not saying he needs to be like Floyd, but he is going to have to show SOME personality to truly catch on mainstream. Doing what he’s doing, even if he runs through every division, will still leave him limited. He’s not breaking through outside of boxing fans that way.
De La Hoya: It’s the right time to make Canelo vs. Spence
- Thread starter Whogivesafuck
- Start date
except broner...no boxer has broken out that way in the US or really crossed over into mainstream..a little variety from how floyd and broner acted wont be a bad thing..but we will see

I'm saying ..... he only has 300k followers in IG, he's dropping the ball unfortunately he has to show some charisma to become box office .

No homo but with the advent of instagram these boxers should have went the Tank/Trey Songz route and just be the pretty boy sex symbol to get the thirsty female fans.
If he keeps winning, he will matter. Floyd just played a villain role against latinos..that's it. He even pulled strings on those Irish idiots with Hatton.
Spence keeps knocking everyone out it WILL make international headlines.

I don't even like Canelo and think he still has GGG problems, but i think he would beat Spence relatively easily.
I think Canelo would be the better boxer and have better defense and could move all night like he did against GGG never allowing Spence to set on those body shots
And Spence is still easy to hit imo and Canelo would be the bigger puncher he faced
Yea I kind of think porter/garcia/thurman were ducking but there are still a lot of other people out there who would gladly fight Spence. Some even calling him out and yet I don't really see Spence being aggressive trying make those fights but we'll see. I hope this is not a situation where they going build Spence as a boogie man then keep pitting him against tomato cans he can knock out thus reinforcing the boogie man narrative without him fighting increasingly better comp. If he fights berto or some other PBC bum next I will be VERY disappointed

It’s all in the Game Yo
Spence can pull it off too
Spence gets koed in 4-5 if he fights the same fight as Brook
Spence needs to face a killer by years end, Brook wasnt one
Let the man get a legit win before he's facing Canelo
He can always get a strap at 154 drop and move back down.......Thats what true champions do
I mean he used to fight at 154 already why the fukk not......Better than fighting the Ocampos of the world and shyt
im trying to think of a legit canelo win, and I cant. Especially a win that would make one say he is on another levelSpence gets koed in 4-5 if he fights the same fight as Brook

Kell Brook and Ocampo>>>>>Canelo resume then
Spence need a yr with two solid bodies......
Give me a win he has that puts him on another level
