During the PBC countdown for Spence-Porter, Errol Spence reflected on his fight with Mikey Garcia by saying, "I had tougher sparring than that."
Mikey Garcia should end his chase for a 147 belt, all the top guys would beat him, I think even Khan might beat him.
Spence could have said this before the fight and the talk probably would have stopped. Probably not a fight that needed to be made and I'm not really receptive to Spence talking **** about it now.
Spence seems smart and it sounds like he follows boxing and other divisions...he could have just patted Mikey on the head and told him that he has other P4P fighters in/around his real weight he should be "seeing something" about and he would have gone away.
Yea Mikey’s ******ed for trying to be a 147 champ. No shame in owning 135 or 140
He's too fat to make 135, and he it looks like he's unwilling to fight anyone at 140. That's why his next fight is scheduled for WW again, a fight he'll lose badly once again.
Mikey was a complete fraud who had no business ever being on a P4P list.
In fact, it's embarrassing that ESPN still has him ranked 10th.
When someone lands over 300 punches on you, regardless of weight class, that means you weren't that good to begin with.
That's Yoshihiro Kamegai/Robert Guerrero bad.
Spence absolutely deserves top 5 P4P, but Mikey was a total and utter fraud.
I don't know if he should have said it, but y'all do know he spars with the Charlos, right? I think getting hit by middleweights who grind just hard as Errol does might fit the definition of "tougher sparring".
Hope that helps...probably wont.
Has nothing to do with Mikey, the boy is running his mouth for beating a lightweight... well he is a big welter that can easily compete at 60 or 68... difference is that Mikey gave up height and reach and weight against Spence, if Spence tough canelo at 60... they’d be even... but canelo would kill the boy
Just say MG mouth put him in a losing position.
''Had balls to try.''
Khan and Brook put up better tries.
Winners get to talk shlt. MG talked shlt and did nothing to back it up.
Khan and brook got ktfo lol... and again for the third time now, Mikey talked his sh.it BEFORE the fight. What don’t you understand? Spence is talking sh.it now. And what does khan and brook or Mikey have to do win Spence runnin his mouth? My point is, until Spence tried to do what those other 3 tried to do, he shoul stfu
During the same show, after Spence talked about how easy the Mikey Garcia fight was, the Porters claimed that Ugas was easy.
Shawn Porter: "I was surprised it was a split decision because I thought I was clearly ahead."
Kenny Porter: "The fight went exactly the way we thought it would. We didn't have to over exert ourselves. It was one of our easiest fights."
According to PAC-A-MANIACS, Pac could KO spence, charlo, Crawford, and Canelo...
So until Spence beats PAC... Spence is nobody...
Personally, I like spence.
Its the truth though, Errol is right. Mikey size had nothing to do with it, wasn't like Spence was smothering him up against the ropes leaning his weight on him for the full 12 rounds. This was just a case of one boxer clearly being the superior, even if Mikey was the same size he would have still got thoroughly outboxed like he was in the that fight.
Damn, that's a long list you have there
Disrespectful comments from Earl. Mikey Garcia is a great fighter in his own right, just simply too small to compete with Spence, who is way too big for Welter as is. Considering Earl could probably compete at Middleweight right now, and Mikey is fleshy at 135, was no surprise here.

I like the New Sh.it Talking Spence
He’s not giving anyone Any sort of Respect Now
Sh.its on Mikey / Sh.its on Porter to his face
Better hope he keeps winning though and he can take that arrogance up to 154
I think he’s just playing the Heel to generate buzz and make $ , Becausr he’ll never be universally Loved by the masses
Much easier for people to pay attention to him ,and it’s easier to sell to the public if they hate you and want you to lose
I don't remember a good punch Mikey landed the whole fight. Dude went Into survival mode 4 rounds in when he knew he had no chance then he's raising his arms after every round when he's getting beat up. It was a pitiful performance regardless of any disadvantage Mikey had in the ring that night. HE DID NOTHING!!
