Is Errol Spence Planning a Boxing Comeback or Hanging Up the Gloves?

So, here’s a little ramble on Errol Spence — a name that’s quite something if you’ve been around the boxing block a few times. Once upon a recent time, he was standing at the top, undefeated and packing quite a punch. But then, there was that night, ya know, when Terence Crawford was waiting on the other side. People were like, “Who’s gonna take it?” because they seemed like equals in the ring. But the bell rang, and oh boy, it wasn’t pretty for Spence. Crawford worked him over like a storm hitting a frail beach hut, until they called it in the ninth. Ouch.

Fast forward, Crawford’s dancing around as the undisputed welterweight champ — at least for a bit before skipping to junior middleweight. Now there’s talk of him maybe squaring off with the legendary Canelo Alvarez. Can you imagine? Meanwhile, Spence has been kind of ghosting from the ring since that 2023 loss. People are wondering not just when he might come back, but if we’ll ever see him boxing again. I mean, two years is a long gap, and he’s 35 now — not ancient, but not exactly a sprightly 25-year-old either.

But let’s get real, a Spence comeback would still get all kinds of eyeballs and, let’s not forget, some nice paychecks. There are big names out there he could face like Keith Thurman or maybe Tim Tszyu. But first, he’d have to break the radio silence with a return fight. I can’t blame him if he chooses a slightly easier “tune-up” fight first. But if he decides to hang his gloves up for good? Well, I’d say it’s fair enough.

Boxing’s no picnic; it’s brutal, really. And that night with Crawford must’ve felt like being stuck in a blender on full power. Plus, he’s been through the wringer with fights against tough folks like Kell Brook, not to mention, yikes, a terrible accident that nearly took him off the map. He’s seen his share of rough patches — a wild ride that’s also been kinda treacherous if you ask me. But you know, fighters have this itch — they fight, it’s in their bones. If he’s fit enough, maybe he’ll step back into the ring. Who wouldn’t be curious to see round two of his career unfold?
