Mike Tyson thinks Errol Spence Jr can win another world title. The former heavyweight champ shared his thoughts on the 'Pound 4 Pound' podcast, saying Spence is an underrated fighter who's got more to give.
Spence, 35, from Long Island, New York, hasn't stepped in the ring since his first career loss. Last summer, he faced Terence 'Bud' Crawford with a chance to become the first undisputed welterweight champion of the four-belt era. Crawford dominated the fight, dropping Spence several times before stopping him in the ninth round.
There's talk that 'The Truth' might come back soon, but it's not clear if we'll see him before the year's out. Despite the long break, Tyson's confident in Spence's abilities.
"I think Spence could come back and still get his title back, I really think so," Tyson said on the 'Pound 4 Pound' podcast. "I think Spence is an underrated fighter."
Tyson even suggested a possible opponent for Spence's comeback:
"I think he should fight one of those Charlo brothers at 154lbs, that would be a hell of a fight, they both have money, they go to the bank, take care of their families."
Earlier this year, there were talks about Spence fighting Sebastian Fundora for the WBC and WBO light-middleweight titles, but the bout didn't happen.
Spence's last opponent, Crawford, has cemented his place as a pound-for-pound great and arguably the best welterweight of his generation. But Tyson's words suggest that Spence's story in boxing isn't over yet.
