Errol Spence: I've Been Killing Myself Making Weight, So The KOs Stopped...

What makes you think guys at 160 are his size?? Guys at 160 will be coming in the ring at 170+. Spence might be draining to make 147. But at 160, he'd look very small compared to his opponents. Not like anyone at 160 doesn't drain themselves either. it's boxing..EVERYONE does it and has been doing that for decades.

 

Spence going from the toughest and deepestvdivison in boxing to one of weakest divisons to avoid Bud.

 

I agree - if you can make the weight, then fair play - for good or ill

 

Everyone kills themselves to make weight this isn't some isolated issue.

 

He's on a SlimFast diet and doesn't want to break it off.

 

He was 145 but your point stands.

The NYSAC was to blame there for their blunder at the weigh in ehich is why Gamache sued them.

 

Because at 160 he wouldn't be fighting men his own weight. He'd be fighting people who are cutting to make 160,not people who are cutting to make 147.

Crawford at 140 was showing up fight night as a MW. Theres no such thing as a weight bully. They all fight at the weight they think they can best compete at.

 

As boxers age it becomes harder to make weight, he's into his 30's now. I think spence would look good at 154.

 

Post of the Day!

 

The exception.

 

Crawford - prime weight 140
Spence - prime weight 147

both are reaching mid 30's

Both are out of prime and OUT OF TIME

A wasted era.

Time for new skin at Welter.

 

That's because he stopped killing himself to make 135.

 

a lot of fighters can only make certain weights because they are under 25 years old and have not developed into their grown man body. I don't care what anyone says, its not normal for a 5'8"- 5'10" adult male to be able to weigh 135 pounds.
