If he beats Spence it's not even a debate.
Mikey Garcia - fighter of the year

It would be pretty impressive if he beats Spence.
In one calendar year it would be
-Beating undefeated Lipinets for the IBF and vacant lineal world junior welterweight titles
-Beating undefeated Easter Jr to unify the WBC and IBF world lightweight titles
-Beating undefeated Spence Jr for the IBF world welterweight title
Taking belts from 3 undefeated champions in 3 weight classes in one year is damn impressive.
But Usyk is undisputed. In the four belt era, that has happened exactly four times: Hopkins, Taylor, Crawford, and Usyk. Five if you count women.
Plus, right now the Spence fight is just talk. First it has to get made, then Mikey actually has to win. Both easier said than done.Comment

It's funny the anti-euro's (who picked Rigo over Loma) were totally offended that Loma won FOTY in 2017 because Crawford unified vs. Indongo but are conveniently ignoring/dismissing Usyk's unifying of all four titles vs. much better opponents than Indongo.
Why could this be?Comment
