    I guess, but if you can make weight, you can make weight. His physical attributes do tend to be his best attributes though.

    I don’t think he has any real business being at 160, where I reckon he takes several losses. At least at welterweight he’s elite.

    Spence is about the size of a natural welterweight. We've just gotten so used to people like Pac and Floyd being the face of the welterweight division for so long that we forgot that they both came up from a few weight classes lower.

    Leonard, Hearns, Trinidad, De La Hoya, Robinson, etc. were all at least as big as Spence, and nobody called them weight bullies.

    I believe after Saturday night, Crawford and the other top fighter won't have any trouble getting in the ring with Errol. His power was a bit exposed, not quite the boogeyman everyone thought he was. Very interesting fight I really hope this happens. To Errol's credit its hard to stop an experienced fighter when they go into survival mode as Mikey did! But, who can blame him he was vastly outmatched from the opening bell in size. When a good small fighter fights a good big fighter it ain't usually good for the smaller guy lol

    lol, he will be avoided even more than before the mikey fight. he just showed them that not only can he stomp a mudhole in their ass, he can look sweet as sugar doing it.

    I think Crawford likes smaller guys more than Spence.

    Not sure that will be the case, I hope your wrong for the boxing fans benefit! I'd agree if he'd stopped Mikey but honestly not sure why Garcia's people took that fight to begin with. Errol was a top amateur having watched him early on we all know the boy had boxing ability not just a punch. Oh he is the real deal, but i do believe kinda like when Jacobs went 12 rounds with GGG you will start to see guys call him out.

    Ironically he's so a avoided he's likely to face another midget, albeit a 40yr old one.

    no, no, no. right now, advisers are telling their welters, that man can box, and youve already seen what he can do when he wants to brawl, just let that man be.

    That was Jermallo, though. Identical twins often play the game of pretending to be each other for their own personal amusement and that's definitely Jermallo there. They switch places when they fight too, which is illegal btw, Jermello (ie. the smaller twin) will step on the scales at the weigh in but then on fight night a near 200lb jacked Jermallo shows up ready to rip the head off a natural 154 pounder.

    And Spence is the one who said that he ''is kind of a weight bully'' in that vid (his words). I won't be surprised if one day we find out he's also got a much larger identical twin too. :naughty2:

    I sussed out what they were up to when Jermello went from being a featherfist to a KO machine out of the blue.

    So obvious he could of done that from round one should he of wished,the fight was good business and that's all you can say.These pro boxers know the score about pounds and inches and what they capable of.Only a few nut cases like Manny,Duran who both had reputations for punching hard have defied the odds.
    Some flatter to deceive like Crawford who starved himself to fight way below where he his now.Myself I don't wanna see another stupid fight like that again.
