I had him in the top ten pfp about number 7. I dropped him out of my top 10 because of his miserable performance against Spence. If Mikey had fought his heart out and lost to a great bigger man like Spence he would still be in my top ten. But he stunk. He threw a pathetic 435 punches. He lost every minute of every round landing only 75 punches and getting hit 385 times. He didn't try to win. He just tried to last the 12 rounds. Maybe if he redeems himself with a great win he will be back in my top 10. His past achievements are great. But PFP is about right now and right now I think there are other boxers who deserve a spot on my top 10 list more than Mikey.
I have to agree. I don't follow him a lot but I had a positive impression of him prior to the fight. I still like him on a personal level but he didn't try against Spence. I don't see how he could be rated in the top 10 after that. He needs to go back to a comfortable weight and dominate some good fighters to even be in the conversation. I'm still baffled as to why he took this fight at all.
