    Spence wins this fight everyday and twice on Sundays
    I didn’t forget that but correct me if I’m wrong but I thought he was was in the camp when Mayweather first got of it jail. Doubt Mayweather was at his best. And obviously Mikey can’t crack as hard as Charlo and not taking anything away from Spence he’s a great great pure athlete

    But what I was saying is Mikey’s been around elite World Championship Boxing his entire life through his father , brother , Vargas. I think he was sparring PAC and fighters of that quality as a teenager. His boxing IQ is probably through the charts. He’s probably forgotten more about the sport then Spence has even learned whonstarted the sport at what 15 or so.

    Mikey’s like a Mayweather , Barry Bonds , Ken Griffey , Payton Manning type of athlete immersed in the top level of their sport since they were in diapers there’s a reason those guys are often the best at their respective sport

    It might be a long shot but but if Mikey can survive Spence’s Power , Athleticism He may be able to outbox Spence who has shown that he’s hittable

    Does Mikey lose probably but I don’t think it’s the same as Brook /Golovkin where Kell was a dead man walking I give him a chance

    No He’s not ignored Arum won’t entertain a Garcia / Loma fight or Spence / Crawford fight because in both cases his fighter has a chance at losing , Arum will do what he always does and keep that sh.it in house

      Mikey is the only one that seem to be jumping at the opportunity to fight Spence. Even Crawford hardly mentions Spence's name.

        Calling out a guy who just fought at 135 and has never fought at 47'

        Charlo is available for you - that fight is more exciting to me.

          Crawford is just as pu55y in general as Spence is being in this situation.

            I am scratching my head over this one. Garcia will avoid Lomchenko and Crawford because they are promoted by Arum, but those fights are much more interesting. I think Mikey would lose both of those fights on PPV. No one expects Mikey to beat Spence so even a loss will help his career. Maybe this is a good move after all.

              If you're accessing this post through social media, just notice the number of comments and likes on these Garcia v. Spence.

              These articles are getting multiples of the traffic the other posts are getting right now. That tells me casuals are responding to this matchup.

              Mikey is a smart guy. If he gets the fight and makes it out alive, he'll have done himself a great service. It's a win-win for both fighters imo ***if that happens.

              He's been calling out Spence for a reason. He's not dumb. This is about $$$.

                Spence isn't calling him out. You would know that if you did a little reading.

                Spence will take the fight if it is available because beating a top pfp guy with a big name and in his prime adds to his legacy. IBF's rules prohibit fighters being more than 10lbs over fight night. Mikey has got up to 170+ between fights before. Skill-wise they are even, perhaps the edge to Mikey. It will be a better fight than most think. Spence will eventually break him down but it won't be an easy fight.

                  There's no good reason thwt crawford and spence shouldnt be 'available' to each other if they had some balls.

                    Yes there is, and we all know why.

                    There's an exclusive deal with ESPN that prevents Crawford from fighting anywhere but that network.

                    On the other side, Showtime has invested a lot of money in Spence will not just allow him to go fight on ESPN.

                    The only way we get them in the ring is a PPV fight. We all know this business. Let's not act like we don't know the game.

                      Had some balls? Crawford, Spence, and M. Garcia are three of the most ballsy fighters anywhere. I wish we had more like them.

                      Crawford vs Spence will be one of the biggest PPV's at welter since SRL vs Hearns in 2020, assuming they both keep winning. Both teams are smart to let that one marinade.
