SRL is chubby here, could Crawford and Spence fight at 160-168?

Why are these two broskis afraid to fight at higher weights? Look at Floyd here bulking up muscle to compete at 154, more swolle than Bud or Crawford.

So why are Crawford and Spence not daring to be great? Bud was cutting 18lbs to make 135....

Because they're getting paid well not to take risks.

But RJJ and SRL made serious money moving up and would make more than what they’re making now. Why aren’t they inspired to follow the footsteps of greats before them?

Spence built like someone who can fight at 160

Terence 154

There’s slim fit which is usually boxers from early 20’s, even those whom were legends, elites, whom reach their 30’s and have adjusted moving up in weight. 20-30lbs would seem the highest or realistic norm, starting from a slim fit.

RJJ from 154-175 have a significantly different physique. Bhop from 160-175 had a different physique. Trinidad from 147-168 had a different physique. PAC from Flyweight to Welterweight had a different physique. Floyd from 130 to 154 had a different physique.

Men can reach peak muscle up to the age of 30.

SRL began at WW, Terence at LW, Spence could go to 160 he has the frame and has to really work hard to make 147.

Both would beat Lalonde as Leonard did because Donny was drained nearly as bad as Oscar was.

But SRL did it regardless.

SRL was Welterweight Champion in 79. He had to abide by same day weigh in rules in those times. So he wasn’t draining like Crawford did at 135. Crawford would gain 18lbs at 135. That’s 153 fight night. Isn’t that more than a 147 same day weigh in? Leonard had to fight at 147.

So why isn’t Crawford and Spence daring to be great like SRL? Time is of the essence

I will judge Crawford once he leaves Arum once his contract expires in a few months.

Spence is happy being your prototypical PBC fighter who makes a good amount to fight once or twice a year.

It's amazing how tiny all of these fighters are in real life.
