I like Mikey as a fighter but I've always called it like I see it. Hes a good boxer but he doesnt have what it takes to be an ATG or more up in weight.
He survives soley off his fundamentals and size at lower weights.
And then Spence goes and completely obliterates him. He got his ass beat for 12 straight rounds and couldnt even win ONE round. Robert wanted to stop the fight too!
And then his fans, some of them, have the balls to talk the amount of **** they did before the fight and then the excuses after? Too funny.
Built in excuses. What I've been saying the whole time. There was even an article here that was like, no matter the result, Mikey would be a winner. He won nothing.
Oh. You think Mikey exposed Spence because he survived? Lmao. That's the ONLY thing he could have done! And Spence wanted to beat Mikey the **** up.
If some smaller man ran his mouth at me and I knew I had 12 rounds to beat him I wouldn't even go for the knock out. That's too easy. You want them to suffer. You want to enjoy beating them. You want to see the figh fade from their eyes.
Exactly what Spence did to Mikey.
So now all you Mikey fanboys can go crawl back into your holes. It's like Rigo all over again.
Apologies if I misconstrued the meaning behind your post. I figured you were just another Floyd hater since there are so many of them.
Yes, he has the Canelo catch-weight thing that makes him look a bit hypocritical, but it was Canelo that offered to make the cut. At 36 yrs old, with Canelo entering his prime, he was looking for a weight advantage since Canelo had an age and strength advantage.
And the JMM fight, if I remember right JMM called him out. He would have been in his rights to not take the fight, and in hindsight shouldn't have.
FMJ no doubt is as much legend as they come but just as every other great fighter in history just like Canelo is now,he has asteriscs in certain fights,but it doesn't change the fact that fmj took the Canelo fight & schooled Canelo(its a bit exagerrated how much imho) when he wouldn't have been faulted for not taking that fight after seeing what nelo did to trout right before at full jmw. Fmj can say he fought almost everyone in his era near his weight & Canelo can do the same in this era now,hes fought almost every name available(the biggest money fights Canelo has faced them just as fmj taught him the A side gets the advantages).
The torch doesn't always have to be passed by the younger fighter winning,Canelo learned more from that loss than from any win in his career.
When did I say I hate fmj?(I am among the only fans on this site that seems to care about the truth above everything else even when my favorite fighters are at fault,so just because I call it how I see it doesn't mean I hate someone or don't recognize their greatness,if you reread my post youll notice I said "to make himself appear even greater")
And thats complete apologist bs excuses to say Canelo offered to go to 150,he fought tooth & nail not to have to go to 152 & only when fmj was willing to walk away did he accept. He made it CLEAR that he outgrew his ability to make 152.
Then after yrs of fmj grandstanding about "pacs cw wins dont count,he purposely drains his opponents with cw's,I want my opponents at their best weight,thats why pacs not a true champ like me,I wouldn't drain them to be disadvantage " he then at every opportunity bragged about how he intentionally weightbdrained Canelo so he wouldn't train & go to bed hungry & was taunting him with lobster & steak.
As far as you mentioning fmj slapping around Roidez & saying the weight played no role,you conveniently leave out that fmj made Marquez jump several divisions in weight with steep penalties if he missed weight,then fmj changed the contracted weight at the last minute despite nsac having made clear thats illegal as fck,but to top it off Mayweather still came in 2 lbs heavy anyways. So as much as I think fmj is an atg,& as much as I cant stand that pos marquez that win has an asterisc & I have plenty of Floyd's own words that say his win against canelo should have a double asterisc beside it.Granted of course fmj would destroy Marquez in any circumstances

yet your someone who has nothing negative to say about ggg/lomachenko & a million mental gymnastic filled excuses as to why. Mikey fighting someone far bigger than him in lipinets & destroying him makes him a bum,yes that must be why Arum is sending over a lucrative offer for loma to face him right.
Lipnets FAR bigger than Mikey?
Dude. Why you always lying. Exaggerating **** to the fullest to try and prove a point that's not even true.
Destroyed him? Lmfao.
Lipinets isnt even a boxer ffs.
That's like giving Floyd credit for beating McGregor.
My point is people like u are making out he was some legend of the sport moving up. Hes never beaten anyone, noone even knows if hes that good and by sounds of it he looked poor against lipinets. In his first step up against world class fighters he looked like crap, gtfoh making out it was some great win. Turns out he was another eye test hero who has been overhyped cause he had an 0.

So basically you hate Floyd because he was a great boxer, and very smart? Floyd rarely fought guys coming off losses, he fought them when ranked very high and on a roll. Most bought his fights to hopefully see him lose. Floyd loved those fans just as much.
Btw, he was NOT a big welter. Average sized at 5'8". Also, Canelo offered to go down as far as 150 for the fight. He weighed 153 in his previous fight. They both agreed to 152. Again, it wasn't the size difference, it was a huge skill gap. Floyd was on another level, even at 36yrs old.

And the "often facing much bigger fighters" thing is mostly inaccurate as well considering FmJ is a big ww who chose not to rehydrate because of his style,& aside from Canelo who he intentionally drained to 152 despite having the belts at 154 & having faced Cotto/dlh at full 154,FMJ rarely faced anyone who was truly much bigger than him. He was the ultimate salesman who constantly perpetuated fallacies to make himself appear even greater than he was;such as the fallacy that he couldn't have campaigned at 154 if he wanted to.

As soon as I was reviewing each fighters historical compubox I instantly realized Mikey is nowhere near active enough to beat Spence who is unbelievably active on offense for a ww. The thing is at lower weights I see Mikey as almost unbeatable for the same reason,against fighters near his own size its an enormous benefit for him to fight the way he does with excellent accuracy & defense while not wasting energy missing. It just doesn't work when your facing someone much larger who is a devastating body puncher as well as someone who is the most active welter on paper.
It was a big target practice. Mikey to me looked solid like a tank. Spence's punches didn't seem to bother him all that much initially. Spence looked amazing but a little featherfisted.
Mikey will never ever compare to Floyd. Mikey quit versus Salido lol. He feast on small irrelevant guys.hey man, I agree mikey got his ass saved against salido. Big bro saved him, I'm no mikey fan. I'm just saying as far as first welterweight fight mikey has balls to fight such a fight as spence jr. Mayweather would not dare to fight spence prime for prime. Skill for skill yes Mayweather is wayyyy above mikey. We all know that
What world class fighters has mikey beat? Nothing else, just list the names.
What world class fighters were in his weight class that he could've/shoulda faced but didn't? Who below 140 is better than Mikeys resume? It's hilarious that you consider certain fighters elite or even atg's yet your only way to discredit mikey is to say what wc names has he faced. The irony is that Spence himselfs resume isn't as good as Mikeys when how challenging the opponent was is considered let alone when the odds given by bookies are considered.
I am dying to find out who DOES have a great resume & who you consider better than Mikey?
What world class fighters has mikey beat? Nothing else, just list the names.
Mikey has a pretty solid resume. After Salido, the combined record of his opponents was 218-8. Also remember he missed two of his best years with his dispute with Arum.
Here is his record, and the names. I would consider a few of them world class at the time he fought them.

Floyd debuted at 130...but what the hell, throw another weight class in for good measure.

It kind of reminded me of Floyd slapping JMM around when JMM at the time was #2pfp. Floyd was only a 2-1 favorite. All we heard was the weight difference, etc. Both fights showed a tremendous skill difference. The size and weight didn't matter.
Mikey did his best and came up short. Nothing to laugh about. From boxing standpoint, Mikey fought robotic and in slow motion last night. No fluidity, no shine, no "it" factor, nothing. He might have overtrained too.
After 7 rounds, I had enough.

We should appreciate the greatness of Floyd he came all the way up from 126 never knocked out. He was outsized in many fights but no1 ever cared. Lol it just shows you the double standards in boxing

Yeah... so is Broner. Who you beat matters, not how many belts you've won
Ricky Burns is a 3 weight world champ, says it all. No disrespect to Ricky, he was solid enough but it just shows that you don't need to be a top fighter to win belts in multiple division
mikey has more balls then that pu55y floyd. Mikey fights spence, while floyd fights baldomir. Mikey bit off more then he can chew, floyd ducks the best till there damaged goods.
Mikey will never ever compare to Floyd. Mikey quit versus Salido lol. He feast on small irrelevant guys.
Whats Mikeys best win? Adrien Broner? Damn.
Mikeys best winSSSS are against several far bigger men(including against who beat loma at the same age). Name me whos a better fighter or whos done more below 140 that is currently in the mix? you can't because your a white supremacist fanboi whos been getting owned by me for like 5 yrs straight. You were the same clown who was slurping gggs meat as supposedly going to ko the ginger & as supposedly being an atg. You did the same with foldalev in relation to ward.
Your like 1-1000 in predicting fights & in predicting fighters careers.:haha:
its all good though brah your ALWAYS good for some laughs.
