Spence needs to separate himself from Broner, Tank etc

Believe it or not, I want GGG to win.

I'm actually shocked right now a GGG hater has seen the light!

I'm not a hater, and my criticisms of him still stand. I just happen to love the sport, and put it first.

Some of you guys are looking too deep into this. As long as he isn't in camp and this doesn't happen too often, I think he's fine. A little drinking isn't going to do any damage as long has he knows when to cut himself off.

Its ok just to admit you were wrong with your GGG hate previously and admit that you now support the guy, I wont judge you

Supporting him is pretty strong language. Let's say I'm just not supporting Canelo.

I think we all saw the light mate...that was when Canelo lit that boy up like a Christmas tree

Like Sugar Ray Leonard who was doing ******* within a year of beating Marvin Hagler?

I think we demonize drugs a lot in our society. Obviously they aren't good for you, but I also don't believe they are that bad with casual usage. I know plenty of people who've done all kinds of drugs & are high level & highly functional in their life in various fields. They don't use them daily or on any regular basis doe. Thats when I think you run into problems with drugs. And without digging into it too much I'm sure there have been all sorts of great fighters who drunk & did far worst things casually & kept to a high level for as long as they would've being like Floyd with his straight edgeness.

And I say this as a cat who has only done weed in my life, doesn't even smoke anymore & only consumes via edibles these days so I'm not defending my own bs I'm defending what I've seen with casual drug usage.

That said its still a bad look to be running around drunk on camera I can agree with you there as I already said.

Its about discipline, sure fighters can get away with some drug use but if they wanted to be at their best they would avoid it. Tyson was using coke in his prime and winning but the same discipline problems got him knocked out and because he was hanging around the wrong people ended up in prison and was never the same, he had a short prime.

Even something like only weed, look at lennox lewis, not the worse thing in the world but you can see the same discipline problem show up with him coming in out of shape and he got stopped by rahmen.

Someone with the discipline to avoid drinking and drugs is going to be more consistent. With coke, it shortened the prime of a lot of fighters. And maybe its not just the coke itself but the larger discipline problem. Guys like DLH and Hatton, ballooning up inbetween fights from partying ect.

Never seen him drunk like that and it is a terrible look, Your body is your temple and if you want to be a legend you have to be discipline...He looked overweight and drunk and was acting out of character...Broner and Tank were running around like clowns and I hope Spence doesnt down follow this path because it is a path of wasted talent...

I see your point. But if they only hang out at boxing events and Spence only gets like this when he hasn�t got a fight scheduled and it�s not a regular thing I don�t think it�s a huge issue. I was at the fight and they were acting like fools all night hopefully Spence keeps them at arms length but like I said if it doesn�t happen often I don�t see it as a huge problem.

[Larry the boss]

The question is how do we know they are not always in the gym like some fighters.

The weight gain is a dead give away

[MeanestNiceGuy]

To be fair I've never seen the Charlos look like they put on a significant amount of weight in between fights.

I've seen that as well. For the record, I've heard of the Charlos doing worse than drinking between fights, but that's neither here nor there.

Also, the Charlos have edema and struggle with it days after their fights. I've never seen them at the onset of it, but it's possible that you could've also seen them immediately after the fluids were released from their bodies.
