Alright, let’s talk about this Errol Spence fella and how much he weighs when he ain’t fightin’. You know, his “walk around” weight, they call it. Sounds fancy, but it just means how heavy he is when he’s not tryin’ to squeeze into them tight fightin’ pants.
This Errol Spence, he’s a strong one, you can tell just by lookin’ at ‘im. They say he’s a champion, wins all sorts of belts and stuff. I don’t know much about that boxin’ stuff, but I know a strong man when I see one. And this fella, he’s gotta be eatin’ good to keep that strength up.
Now, they say he fights at 147 pounds. That’s mighty light for such a big fella. I tell ya, squeezing into them weight classes, it’s like tryin’ to fit a whole hog into a sausage casing. Must be tough on ’em.
But when he’s not fightin’, this Errol, he’s heavier. They say he goes up to, what, 168 pounds? Maybe even more! Some folks on the internet, they’re sayin’ he goes over 170 pounds! That’s a whole ‘nother person practically!
- 147 pounds for fightin’
- 168 pounds or more when he’s just livin’ life.
That’s a big difference, you hear? Almost 20 pounds, maybe more. It’s like carryin’ around a sack of potatoes all the time. No wonder he’s so strong!
Why’s he so heavy, you ask? Well, the man likes to eat, that’s what I hear. He eats good after a fight, gets his fill. Says he drinks a lot of juices too. Juices, huh? Guess that’s healthy, even if it makes ya pack on the pounds.
It’s like this, see? He starves himself to make that 147, then he lets loose and eats like a regular person. And then he gotta do it all over again for the next fight. Sounds like a lot of work to me. But hey, that’s what these fighters do. They gotta be tough, inside and out.
I heard he makes that 147 “with ease” though. That’s what he says anyway. Guess it ain’t too hard for him, even though he’s gotta lose all that weight. Must be one of them fellas who can drop weight quick, then put it back on just as fast.
Imagine, goin’ up and down like that all the time. It’s gotta be hard on your body. But he’s young, this Errol. Young fellas can bounce back from anything. They eat like horses and still keep fightin’. Makes you wonder how they do it.
So, when you see him on TV, all muscled up and ready to go, remember he’s probably a whole lot heavier when he’s just walkin’ around. It’s like he’s got two different sizes, fightin’ size and livin’ size. And that, I reckon, takes a whole lotta discipline.
This walk-around weight, it just shows you how much these fighters go through. It ain’t just about punchin’ and dodgin’. It’s about controllin’ your body, makin’ it do what you want it to do, even if it means goin’ hungry sometimes. That Errol Spence, he’s a tough cookie, that’s for sure.
And all them folks talkin’ about it online, they go on and on about it being “unbelievable big.” Well, maybe it is, maybe it ain’t. But one thing’s for sure, it takes a strong fella to go up and down in weight like that and still be a champion. This Errol Spence, he’s got somethin’ special, that’s what I think.
So next time you hear about Errol Spence and his weight, you remember what I told ya. He fights light, but he lives heavy. And that’s all there is to it. It’s just the way these fighters are, always pushin’ their bodies to the limit.
