Spence has basically called out Canelo and Crawford.."call Al after my Porter fight"
Superstar Errol Spence Jr. says Golden Boy Promotions needs to contact his adviser Al Haymon to start putting together a fight between him and Saul Canelo Alvarez if they’re interested in making that mega-fight happen.

“I am letting you know that we love the fight as well and I’ve always said that Errol Spence is one of the most talented fighters out there,” said De La Hoya said to ESPN.com in letting them know how much interest he has in matching Alvarez against Errol as soon as possible. “There’s no reason why Spence can’t move up to middleweight if Mikey Garcia could go up (from lightweight) to welterweight to fight Spence,” De La Hoya said.

“And if Spence fights Canelo, it will be the most money Errol Spence will ever make,” De La Hoya said. “I would love to start the ball rolling. Let’s do it. We just want to get Canelo the best fights and the toughest challenges out there,” De La Hoya said.

Well, if De La Hoya wants to get the ball rolling, he needs to come with the offers to Spence. The $20 million that De La Hoya is said to have initially offered Spence is a good starting offer, but it sounds like Errol is interested in a little more than that. He said it himself the $20 million is “a good starting offer.” If De La Canelo can sweeten the offer, he might be able to get Spence to sign his name to a contract to to fight Canelo in September. There’s nothing wrong with Canelo and GGG fighting each other in September, but a lot of boxing fans would like to see a new name inserted into the equation for Canelo to fight in September. Golovkin will still be there for Canelo to fight in December of this year or next year in May. There are plenty of Steve Rolls level fighters that GGG can fight while he waits for Canelo to get done with Spence.

A rehydration limit might be needed by Spence’s side to ensure that Canelo doesn’t balloon up after the weigh-in. Golden Boy had a rehydration clause in Canelo’s fight with Daniel Jacobs that worked in his favor, but that was against a guy that was bigger than him. Spence, 5’9″, isn’t as heavy as Canelo, so you can argue that he would be the one that would need a rehydration clause to make sure the fight is fair.
