Comments Thread For: Spence: I Made The Porter Fight A Lot Harder Than It Was Supposed To Be

[elfag]

Errol Spence is as much a weight-bully as Kell Brook. Errol, you were walking around 42 pounds over the welterweight limit? Its a good thing that the IBF cut the morning weight checks for unified world-title fights, otherwise Shawn Porter would of been the IBF-WBC champion right now.

Yeah I dont know what is worse, there are only two types that walk around 42 pounds heavier than their fight night weights.

1. guys that are lazy and get visibly chubby

2. guys like Spence and Brook who dont even look fat when they pack on dozens of pounds.


First one is just laziness, the second should really fight at their natural weight.

Errol could be a legit middle weight. He walks around 29 pounds heavier for *** sake. Hes walking around heavier than Marciano's fight night weights lol.

If Spence is struggling, he should move up to middleweight. He's tall, big and strong. Then he can maybe get a fight with GGG, and that would be a helluva fight. He won't fight his friends the Charlo's, and not sure if Canelo can squeeze down to 160lbs, but yes, middleweight is attractive.

It's not something new to boxing ask Tim Bradley and Ricky Hatton. You guys are acting like Shawn Porter isn't a middleweight either he cuts just as much weight did you forget the Ugas fight as long as they make 147 they made the welterweight limit end of story some guys cut easier then others it's not safe but it's become a norm in combat sports they should take better care of themselves in between fights but that is on them it only damages them long term.

James Toney used to be 220+ in high school and played football yet he cut down to 160 for the start of his career that is just one example there is plenty of others same with that Barboza guy from Top Rank he was 200+ for football and now he campaigns at 140.

Comments like this only serve to exemplify consummate professionals like porter, Joshua, and prograis. No excuses and accountable to their own high standards

He will certainly move up after he has undisputed. Thus after Crawford and Manny fight.

[KillaMane26]

Well he did though.... Him and Crawford have tendencies to try and beat their opponents at their own game.

Or Porter made the fight a lot harder for you than you thought he would.

[Eff Pandas]

I'll never understand these "professional" athletes in weight limit requirement sports who gain insane amounts of weight between events. Seems like the dumbest thing in the world to me.

Nope you tried to box but it didn't work so you had to fight!

We were called haters when we pointed this out months ago.
