    Not fighting 3 times per year is helping him stay at 147
    That's actually gonna make it harder, I would think.

      Agree, it's much easier to maintain the weight if you fight regularly and more often.

        Have you seen pics of Spence recently? Dude looks he weights in about 180 something pounds!

            Yeah but he isn't fighting now. As I said as long as he can make the weight comfortable I don't see the problem. When getting down to 147 and only being able to rehydrate up to 10 pounds starts to take a toll on him then he should move up. He seems to be only worried about they guys in his division. I don't see him saying anyone at 154 or 160 can get it. I'd like to see him unify and clear out 147 if he can before moving up. That needs to start happening after this Garcia fight man or he is just wasting his time

                If he's been making it for this long being as big as he is, he will probably never have a problem making it. As long as there are fights for him at 147, he will be there.

                You can ask anyone with knowledge, he's probably one of the hardest working guys in the gym.

                You'd be surprised how much fighter's weight problems has more to do with discipline rather then literally physically not being able to make weight.
