    122 lb walk at 145 . I’d figure Spence “normal” weight would be 175 ish. Porter would be the same . The leaner the meaner . Cutting weight is a art and not everyone can do it. If he can compete at elite level then it’s fair game.

      This is professional boxing, guys have been trying to be the biggest man for the weight class as they can be for ever. Manny was 145 on fight night with a 130 lb weigh-in , absolutely no different to what Errol is doing, they all do it.

        Porter is an excellent fighter and Spence wanted to prove a point by beating Mikey at his own game.

Iam not saying Spence would lose but if hes a step behind like I figure hes going to be his first fight back he should def go for a less active more stationary fighter like d garcia .
          I think Ugas is a good comeback fight for Spence. He rugged but doesn’t have devastating knock out power. Going to be interesting to see

              The issue wasn’t his dedication to training, his issue was drinking. It probably still is his issue.

                  Nice to hear him say this. Not sure if I believe him but I'd like to. Your prime is super short. Why do most people not get it?

                    Dreaming awake.

                    Imagine a very discipline Erroll Spence without the drink problem, that was going to be a monster difficult to topple.

                      Yet his first words on social media after his "life changing" accident was "i am a savage". Puh-lease....
