            There is no such thing as a weight bully. The rules are the same for all boxers and Spence follows the rules and bullies nobody. The last fight night weight I saw for Spence was 156 pounds not 170. I think you are making the 170 up in your head and he never weighed close to that on fight night. Anyway Spence weighed 156 on fight night for Ocampo and Crawford weighed 157 on fight night for Horn. They are the same size. I can't wait for Spence to knock Crawford out. If he is killing himself to make 147 that would be to his disadvantage not his advantage. Can you show any proof Spence ever weighed close to 170 on any fight night or are you just making stuff up? If a welterweight is too small for Spence he can fight at 140. As long as Spence makes 147 he is a welterweight and the best welterweight. You are just using this weight bully BS as an excuse to hate on him. MAN DOWN! CRAWFORD DOWN!

              His weight is going to vary. He has come in at 168 before. He ways no more than your hero Canelo who weighed 168 for Fielding at the weigh in and God knows what he weighed on fight night. Canelo is not the smaller man anymore. He is the heavier man now who is more comfortable fighting over 160 these days. We may never see him at 160 again.

                Sorry about the spelling error. GGG has weighed 168 on fight night for middleweight fights before. Canelo weighed the same as GGG on fight night for the two fights they had with each other. Canelo has filled out and is a big middleweight now. Let's see what he weighs when and if he fights Kovalev.

                    I doubt Spence comes in that heavy. Like others have said if he weights in OK he's a Welterweight.

                      Not really. We're talking a smaller guy (who was much older) meeting the much bigger young lion in the middle on weight and comparing it to Canelo demanding a redehydration clause to fight a guy in the same weight class as him. And it looks worse since Canelo has been using his size to beat up smaller guys his entire career, but the minute it looks like he might not have an overwhelming weight advantage he starts putting all these clauses in the contract.
