    Spence is a ginormous weight bully. He probably walks around at 180-190. Floyd needs more IVs though... Spence isn't big enough to compete at 168. 160 would be his ceiling.

    People making tons of excuses. I like Spence a lot but he did fine even after the car accident. Maybe not the same but these claims are silly. 168? Bullcrap.

    Spence reminds me of Kell Brook. Both are top contender at 147 due to their size. Both have the frame to fight at 160 and above but take away the size advantage and they are average boxers.

    Imagine being drained yet outlasting your contemporaries in battles of attrition. Spence’s nutritionist also said Spence had a great weight cut. But what does he know. The fans say he was dead, as it coincidentally happens for all big fighters that finally lose.

    Note: Spence’s nutritionist is Gervonta’s and Joshua’s nutritionist.

    Maybe he should have used a IV

    Or employed a better defensive scheme. When an opponent lands 60% of his power shots, it won't take too many rounds before it takes its toll. I think that was the issue more than anything. Also, if Spwnces punch resistance was gone after the accident, how did he last 9 rounds with a hard puncher like Crawfod?

    It sounds like insecure Floyd is starting to get filthy jealous of Bud Crawford.

    Exactly.

    But imo, so is Crawford ..well at least we don’t know how good he is because his best wins near his actual weight class are :

    -drained, 1 fight in 26 months Spence
    -part time Porter the commentator who was actually winning until the unnecessary towel being thrown in.

    Crawford and Spence are basically 154-60lbs weight bullying the smaller guys

    Was his nutritionist supposed to say that Spence struggled very badly to lose weight?

    How is it an excuse when the man looked physically ill on the way to the ring and proceeded to get hurt by every single punch?

    Also, Spence mentioned at the post presser no less than 4X that he wants the rematch at 154. What does this tell you?

    :lol:
