will Spence get criticised for fighting a much smaller man?

    If you go by actual reported fight night weights Spence is NOT the biggest welterweight in the division by a long shot. He weighed 156 on fight night for his last fight. That's a gain of 9 pounds which is not that much these days. Some welterweights weigh well over 160 on fight night. Crawford weighed 157 on fight night for Horn. Spence is a natural normal sized welterweight. He knocks everybody out because he is better, not bigger.

      When Brook beat Porter what was Porters best win?

        Show me a source on that. I've seen some that say he weighs 162-165. Either way he's not a small welterweight at all.

          Devon Alexander. That was when Alexander was in his prime and coming off wins over Matthysse and Maidana.

            I can't be mad at Spence because Garcia barked that tree and has been for a minute now.

              Ok kl that’s your point of view I’ll let you ignore the fact Brook was esentially a short notice replacement. just keep the same energy with this Garcia Spence fight.

                You ****** ****. How do you bash someone knowing what really happened? They were in negotiation with Team Eubank, Hearn already had the stadium booked for that date. Eubank lost his pen, Hearn needed a replacement and offered the fight to Kell Brook (who had called out Golovkin).

                  I don’t want you to fly to London and try and fight me but why does that matter?

                    mikey wants it, you can't knock on spence for taking the fight. not the first time in history a fighter wants to challenge himself to greatness and moves up. the worse mistake in my opinion is when challenging and moving down. that extra weight drain will kill you, just ask dawson and de la hoya in recent history.

                      If a small dog is barking at me I don't get any respect by kicking it.
