Errol Spence’s recent social media posts: “Worst thing I did to myself was drinking” “Haven’t worked out in 2 years” | BoxingScene Community
Interesting point!
Losing early in a career builds resilience.
The real champs bounce back—mental strength matters more than the record.
losing early can also be a sign that your ceiling will not be that high
could work both ways too, the 0 is protected for a reason in boxing

Man, it's wild how easy it is to fall off track when you stop training regularly. I went through a similar slump a while back—zero workouts, bad habits creeping in. What helped me get back on my feet was structure and consistency, and that's where this madmuscles review . It breaks down how the app works and what to expect, which gave me a solid starting point. Not saying it's magic, but having a clear plan made showing up way easier.
Nearly every PBC fighter has Floyd as their Father and the Holy Spirit.
He's their God.
Being undefeated is the only value they give to themselves.
That is why they crumble after getting their first L.
They lose any form of self-love after losing.
Broner, Wilder, Spence, I've seen it all.
Lol this always amuses me…pretty much EVERY top fighter has MULTIPLE losses as an amateur including Floyd (6), Spence (13), Beterbiev (10), Bivol (7) & Usyk (12). Even Crawford has a 25-11 amateur record! However, they recover from their losses and go on to fight another day often winning major amateur tournaments and multiple world titles as professionals.
However, the minute they suffer just ONE loss as a pro, their entire world falls apart and they either go off the rails or quit the sport. HILARIOUS! :rofl:
Lol just compare Spence's b1tching and moaning to Bivol's attitude after suffering his first defeat to Beterbiev. Instead of crying about it, he accepted it like a man (without making any excuses) and worked twice as hard to rectify his mistake in the rematch.
For those who say 'Bivol wasn't stopped like Spence', he should take a leaf out of Pacquiao's book who made absolutely ZERO excuses after getting KTFO by Marquez and went on to win a few more world titles after beating Bradley, Vargas and handing Thurman his first loss despite being 40yo.
True CHAMPS! :boxing:
He's mentally WEAK...the true test of a person's character is how they handle adversity as it's easy to look good when everything's going your way (especially for somebody as naturally gifted as Spence).
Instead, he failed to invoke the Crawford rematch clause, fell out with his long-time trainer (who he's now suing) and hasn't fought again in addition to these attention-seeking social media posts (aka excuses).
Stick a fork in him...he's DONE!
That Spence win is aging like milk for Crawford. He beat a weight-drained alcoholic coming off eye surgery and multiple car crashes.
Full credit Crawford gets
People forget how damaging alcohol can be, especially for an athlete at the highest level. Spence’s struggles make sense when you think about all the wear and tear his body has gone through. Social media makes it even worse because people only see the highlights and judge from that. Meanwhile, some boxers focus more on getting free TikTok followers than perfecting their craft, which says a lot about where the sport's headed.
Dud's biggest win was against a loser one eyed, weight drained drunk. lmao.

So, how much money did y'all make betting on "dud" to beat Spence???:rolleyes:
Or were y'all one of the ones, who were on here saying Spence would easily beat Bud?:rolleyes:
It certainly takes some of the shine off of that win.
NOt really.
The fight was considered 50/50 in every publication & by 90% of fans.
It's only in hindsight that everybody now claims Spence was "shot" in spite of being undefeated & unified champ at 147 :lol1:
Spence has been through a lot, and alcohol definitely played a role in his decline. Hopefully, he finds the right mindset to get back to training and feeling like himself again.
I think he may be doing a lot of self reflection and going through a midlife crisis. He should just retire at this point.
- - Shoulda retired after looking shyte vs Ugas to become an undefeated What If Legend.
Don't blame him for hanging in for a record payday vs Craw, his 2nd shyte fight in a row. It's only gonna get worse for him as the studs are gonna want his scalp in their records.
No amount of $$$ can pay for becoming a vegetable in a nursing home.
As someone who had, shall we say, a bit of a chemical dependency problem in my early twenties (hey, I was twenty-something and liked to fuck on cocaine, sue me), I can sympathize with anyone who went through similar dependencies and I hope he can straighten himself out. As a boxer, perhaps his time has concluded. I wish him well either way.
