I hope its Lamont

Welterweight world titleholder Errol Spence Jr. (22-0, 19 KOs), who impressively knocked out Kell Brook on the road in England to win the belt on May 27, likely will make his first defense in either December (at Nassau Coliseum on New York's Long Island, where he was born) or in January at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, a source with knowledge of the discussions told ESPN on Thursday. No opponent has been set but two names under discussion are former world titleholder and New Yorker Luis Collazo (37-7, 20 KOs), who scored a big win when he knocked out Sammy Vasquez in the sixth round in February, and secondary titlist Lamont Peterson (35-3-1, 17 KOs), who outpointed David Avanesyan to win a second-tier title in February.

Lamont Peterson would be better, but Spence should trample either guy

Collazo should be looking to retire soon really
 
Stay busy fight. Horn's available though. He could get two straps.
 
Collazo was under-rated but in 2017? pass
 
Thought @RR said Collazo was finished.

Lamont would be OK.

Seems like it'd be a huge misstep for Horn's team to take a fight with Spence though unless they're offered ridiculous money for it, as it's just a guaranteed beating when their guy is at his most valuable

Yup, probably. I don't know what paydays Horn is going to get, unless they are small, incrimental ones, while he holds the belt hostage (a la BJS).
 
Peterson is an alright stay busy fight. Spence will beat him more convincingly than Danny which should help build some interesting in a potential Thurman fight.
 
Spence needs to fight Horn, then Thurman. We need an undisputed champ at 147!
 
Peterson would be fun as long as it lasts, Lamont seems to have improved a bit as well.. let's see it
 
Peterson would be a fun fight.
