Both 4 division champs with weak opposition. When they stepped up against flawed big guys they got thoroughly dominated. I see the parallel. Both have the skills but simply do not have the physical gifts.
What u think?
? Maidana beat his ass.
Not disputing that.
I'm just saying he wasn't dominated. Broner even stunned him late in the fight. People remember this fight differently because of the KDs. Between the KDs Broner held his own.
In fact, of all the Broner losses, this fight he put in the most effort. He definitely took the most beating from Maidana but it wasn't completely one sided.

Flawed big guy? TF u talking about!
Let’s see, Mikey beat Broner so there is that. Mikey is not big enough to take on Spence or Crawford. There are good welters that he could beat. There are reasons for different weight classes and we saw that when he fought Spence. He could not hurt him. Mikey is my favorite fighter, but he should be thinking Loma for his next fight. If he wants to fight a welter for a title, try Pac.
Not really, I think Mikey is a better fighter as shown in their h2h. But unlike Mikey, at least Broner took challenges earlier in his career while Mikey was protected. Both were overhyped though (Broner a little more).

Well, yea, sort of.
Ones a natural lightweight and the other is a natural featherweight. Both got no business fighting at welterweight.
The ONLY reason there there is that’s where the money is AND they both like to eat too much.
Broner definitely has physical gifts but has terrible discipline and Mikey has great discipline with no physical gifts... you're really getting everything backwards with this post.
He beat Broner EASY. He's just a much better fighter than him. Did he look foolish in spots against Spence and get dominated? Absolutely, but Spence looks to be one of the special fighters of this era. He needs to go out and prove it, but he's the good.
Spence vs Crawford on paper is the best match up with two in prime fighters at WW since Trinidad vs DLH. Can't wait!!! But hopefully it doesn't disappoint like that fight lol.
Agree and nice post! But Spence vs Craw will be WAY MORE disappointing because it don't happen at least not until 2021 at best.And will Craw still be in prime then?And I really don't see it even then , prob at some point when one losses maybe and takes money fight.This 3 league crap is killing boxing right now when we have more eyeballs on sport in long time.Look at the main events this last year or so. Hope im wrong because your right it would be ATG welter matchup.
Good points he has only lost to PFP type guy who was bigger.Dont see how you can compare them and that's even with forgetting he beat Broner and easy.

the Garcia-broner fight was sh i t and broner did not get dominated
Mikey won damn near every round. Call it whatever you want but it was certainly one sided and Mikey clearly outclassed him. He is on another level compared to Broner.
Broner is smaller than Mikey.
He's absolutely not smaller than Mikey. Broner was a HUGE 130 pounder, and a big LW. Small WW for sure, but he's a naturally bigger fighter than Mikey.
Broner is smaller than Mikey.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
I mean the fact he thoroughly beat Broner shows he's not Broner or on that level lol.
And the OP said when they faced big flawed fighters they got beat. Um, Spence is an elite WW, rated no lower than 2nd. No shame in losing to someone like him.
Trust me common sense will be lost on this guy.Nice post
Mikey's 1 dimension is far more vast than Broners. On that note Mikey depends of fighters who wear cement shoes for feet and Broner was within that dimension LOL
Mikey is like a small Kelly Pavlik and has a great 1-2, but once they saw guys who could use foot speed and angles they looked really bad. I'm surprised Robert was not telling Mikey to punch Errol in the nuts between rounds.
