"Errol Spence is ducking me" said No One

Even with a title, nobody seems to want to fight this guy. Everybody and their mother wants a piece of Keith Thurman or Danny Garcia. One Time or "Some Time" as Spence referred to him was in Spence's shoes not too long ago. But as he increased his level of opposition, he appeared far less dominant. He has not stopped anybody since 2013. To be fair, his last two fights were against the best opposition he has ever faced. He deserved the decision in both fights but did not win either one convincingly. People want to fight Thurman now because he is vulnerable. Nobody is calling out Errol Spence.

Danny Garcia is probably the most likely candidate for his next fight. Porter is Thurman's mandatory and Keith has all but conceded that he will not fight Spence this year. More than likely, Porter and Thurman will have a rematch. That leaves Danny who has not given any indication he is willing to face Spence. As long as Crawford remains with Top Rank he might as well be fighting in the UFC. Haymon controls every big name fighter at 147 except Manny and Crawford. I hope Spence doesn't pull a Kell Brook and jump up two weight classes and fight Canelo. Too soon for that.
