      He walks in the high 180s moron. No other welter walks around like that.

        A weight bully struggle to make the weight, that's not the case with Spence. Spence makes 147 easily so I have no problemwith him staying at 147.


        "spence is the same size as hurd, charlo, mungia."

        do these guys think for a split second before they say stuff?
        errol spence is as big as jarred hurd? i can't tell if they're dishonest or just dumb

            Errol makes 147 very easily.

            Hatton walked around at that weight and fought one class south yet I never recall him being called a weight bully.

            Porter, Broner, Thurman, Kell when he was at 147, Bradley before he retired...all of them walk or walked around at the same weight Spence does now.

            Errol has been a welter since the amateurs.

              Errol has said more than once the cut to 147 is difficult particularly during the build up for the Brook fight. Never has the man said it was easy.

                These guys are dumb as ****, you can literally see the size difference in the two here:



                And most importantly this is both guys in camp each one week away from their fight, and still Charlo is CLEARLY way biigger.

                  He says it takes discipline, not that it is particularly difficult.

                    He states that its hard multiple times. Of course he has to be disciplined because its difficult that's a given. A no point should anyone say its easy for him to make 147 when the man isn't saying it himself.

                      I don't get what the problem is. Mikey has moved up to 147 and is calling Spence out. Mikey's not saying "let's meet at 142 or 143" he's saying I want to fight the top guy at welter. So what's the issue? Mikey's size isn't Spence's problem. Errol is a belt holder at 147 and he's being challenged by a top 10 p4p fighter moving up to his weight class. This has happened all throughout boxing history.
