Why is Spence given a pass for being a colossal weight bully?

[buddyr]

the fact that damn near everyone is cutting massive weight levels the playing field. Mikey Garcia cuts 40+ lbs to make weight. This isn't the 1950s-70s with same day weigh ins. Over 20 years ago Mills Lane gave an interview and said during the 80s he bumped into Donald Curry and he was walking around at 162 lbs(when he was at welterweight). Lane said he exploded asking if he was crazy being that much over weight. This was prior to losing to Honeyghan hahaha. Here in 2018, being only 15 lbs above your fight weight is considered abnormal. If a fighter walks around at 340 lbs and can get down to middleweight before the weigh in, I don't see a problem with it.

I'd like to see Tyson Fury vs. GGG too.

charles martin used to call himself a god, kid.


it helps to know what you're talking about before you make a thread on bscene showing everybody.

errol spence won his world title off of a massive WW. how did he use scales to bully kell f#cking brook? show me the fights that make you think he is a weight bully. or is he a weight bully because his opponent is talking about a fight that hasn't even been announced yet? i explained to you why this fight is happening, and why it's not a huge deal that garcia is a LW at the moment.

this fight can get these two on PPV. it can make them stars. theyr'e in their absolute primes and they want the fight. it's a good thing. garcia is taking on a huge challenge, if he wins it will be one of the best wins since rigondeaux schooled donaire. styles make fights. there's not a ton of ways that errol spence knows how to win a fight, this one should be good while it lasts.

Disagree with everything lol.

This fight is an even bigger joke than Brook vs GGG. and if Spence wins he doesn't get an ounce of credit from anybody except maybe his close relatives.

Mikey losing also does nothing to his legacy or career unless he leaves with shattered bones in his body like Brook did. it'll be a loss on his record but a moral victory.

it's basically a circus. but hey i love circuses so I'll watch.

Canelo was a weight bully at 155. Hurd is a weight bully at 154. and Spence is a weight bully at 147. just facts.

Why is Crawford given so much credit for moving up in weight when he's been a welter fighting smaller men for years? Because, that's boxing

if he weighs in at 140, he's a jw. Most fighters do it. Not just crawford and Spence. You won't fight 10 boxers that walk around at their fight weight today. You probably won't find 2 or 3. If you know names, please post them.

[MDPopescu]

(...) lets keep it real. Erroll does not belong at 147. the guy is HUGE!.. (...)

... he's 28 and he can still make 147... let him alone!...

[Code Red]

Already in fear for Mikey's life I see, keep'em coming I expect to see more threads like this as doomsday approaches

If you are in the ring weighing over 150 pounds but you are fighting as a 135 lightweight that’s what I’m talking about. Fighters who are pretending to move up in weight but are really only deciding to fight nearer the weight they should have been in the first place.

This^^^^

If he is a weight bully he is holding the wrong belt for it as the IBF are the only ones with a second day weight limit

It's funny because the guys that are called weight bullies are mostly holding the IBF strap. Brook did, and Spence & Hurd currently do. Even Robert Easter Jr.

[BennyBlanco]

Spence is IBF champion.

IBF requires a second day weigh in, with a maximum weight gain on 10 lbs.

That gives Spence fair less of a chance to take advantage of weight gain than any non-IBF fighter.
