I've seen the videos. He's put on a lot of weight. But he's not a big human being. He's shorter than Gable Steveson who's barely 6 feet. And Ferrari has short arms.
My personal take is Tom Brands tried to overthink his explanation when his own coach put it so simply to Terry Brands, "You should only train really hard when you feel really good. And when you don't feel really good just do things to get you to feel really good so you can get ready to train really hard." -Dan Gable
Not disagreeing with you. Only negative comment I've ever made about Spencer Lee was @LJBand I questioning his gas tank a few months ago and we were called haters. It goes both ways. Bottom line is the spotlight has been on him for years. Negative attacks come with the territory
I think it's more of the "excuses are for wusses" "wrestling is living or dying" & the Iowa tough guy persona that opens Spencer up to these types of attacks.
