不败的IBF次中量级冠军小斯彭斯认为梅威瑟会再次战斗，他告诉体育画报说；“我是说，这是他5岁以来一直在做的事情。所以，我认为，你懂的，聚光灯下，只是在这些明亮的灯光下，这就像他的毒品，他沉迷于此。“
像他这样的人什么都做过，所以我认为，你知道，只是因为普通生活早晚会变得乏味，就像有许多老拳手一样，他们年纪大了又想再次战斗，因为你知道，只是躺在房子周围，什么都不做，变老了。他又想要锻炼，他喜欢打比赛。所以他可能会回来。通常他们大部分都会这样做。
40岁的梅威瑟一再表示，他的第三次退役将是永久性的，他的第五十次胜利将是他最后的战斗。如果梅威瑟回来，斯彭斯（22-0，19KO）将愿意抓住机会打他。
斯彭斯说：“这是弗洛伊德·梅威瑟的时代，所以我肯定会想到这一点，如果能和弗洛伊德·梅威瑟打一场的话，我会感觉到很荣幸。”
27岁的斯彭斯正在为他的IBF次中量级头衔卫冕战做准备，他将于1月20日在布鲁克林的巴克莱中心迎战前两个量级的冠军拉蒙特·彼得森(35 -3- 1，17KO)。 2017年5月27日，在27,000名拳迷面前，斯彭斯KO布鲁克赢得了IBF冠军头衔。
米奇加西亚想打洛马琴科，但他认为阿鲁姆不会答应这场比赛，加西亚认为凭借自己的技能和身体优势打败洛马琴科不会有什么问题。
虽然讨厌洛马，但加西亚这货既然升到140了，就不要总是盯着下面的拳手打。怎么着，都想学洛马欺负里贡多？
前一阵子有机会打库托，但又嫌霍亚的条件过于苛刻，总不能什么都依着你吧？
因为之前发过这条新闻，就不多说了。
GARCIA WANTS TO FACE LOMACHENKO, SPENCE LIKES TO FIGHT MAYWEATHER

Mikey Garcia believes Vasyl Lomachenko would accept an offer to fight against him. But Garcia said Bob Arum does not want that fight to happen. He told that to some reporters during a press conference in Los Angeles on Monday, when his fight against Sergey Lipinets was officially announced. Garcia (37-0, 30 KOs), the WBC lightweight champion will try to win a title in a fourth weight class when he challenges Kazakhstan’s Lipinets (13-0, 10 KOs) for the IBF junior welterweight title February 10 at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.

“If he wants to move up to 35, we can definitely do that,” Garcia said. “I know Bob won’t say anything positive about that. I don’t even know if Lomachenko is actually interested in facing me. The way I know Top Rank works, they’ll have somebody else in line for him to win a title at 35 or maybe even at 40. Most likely, he’s not gonna wanna face me because Bob won’t allow it.”

Garcia was formerly promoted by Arum who claimed Lomachenko “would make a joke” of Garcia after Lomachenko battered Guillermo Rigondeaux who quit on their December 9 encounter in New York. Garcia is sure Arum won't let Lomachenko (10-1, 8 KOs) fight him even if the WBO super featherweight champion moves up to the featherweight division.

“I don’t think he would allow us to fight,” Garcia said. “I think Bob Arum has been doing business for so well, for so long, the way he runs his business, that it’s not in his best interest to face me with his fighters. Whether it’s financial reasons or taking a loss or whatever, I think he’s not gonna be very excited to work, do business with me. But I know Lomachenko would take the fight, and I also would take that fight. So maybe down the road we could actually have that fight.”

Garcia was not able to fight for 2½ years due to a contractual dispute with Arum and Top Rank. The three-division champion from Oxnard, California, came up with a settlement with Top Rank in May 2016. He emerged as one of the top 10 fighters pound-for-pound. But Garcia is willing to reduce down to lightweight for a chance to fight the popular Lomachenko. “I think I’d beat him,” Garcia said. “I think my skills, my ability, my strength, my size advantage definitely helps me.

Errol Spence Jr. thinks Floyd Mayweather Jr. would fight again. The undefeated IBF welterweight champion told Sports Illustrated for an “SI Now” segment. “It’s in his blood,” Spence said. “I mean, it’s something he’s been doing since he was 5 years old. So I think, you know, the spotlight, and just being under those bright lights, it’s like a drug to him. He’s addicted to it."
* * *
"A guy like him, he’s been everywhere, he’s done everything, so I think, you know, just the regular life gets boring," added Spence. Just like with a lot of older fighters, they come back when they’re older and wanna fight again because, you know, just laying around the house, doing nothing, that gets old. He wants to train, he wants to work out, he likes the buildup to the fight. So he might come back. Usually they do. Most of them do.”

The 40-year-old Mayweather has repeatedly said that his third retirement would be permanent and his 50th victory over Conor McGregor will be his final fight. If Mayweather comes back, Spence (22-0, 19 KOs) would be willing to grab the opportunity to fight him. "This is Floyd Mayweather’s era right now, so I definitely thought about it and that would be a great honor to fight Floyd Mayweather," said Spence.

The 27-year-old Spence is preparing for his first title defense of his IBF welterweight title against former two-division champion Lamont Peterson (35-3-1, 17 KOs) of Washington, D.C. on January 20 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Last May 27, 2017, in front of 27,000 fans, Spence dropped and stopped Kell Brook to win the IBF title in the 11th round at the Bramall Lane, Sheffield, England.
