Comments Thread For: Spence Not Worried About Criticism For Fighting Smaller Garcia

[_Maxi]

Spence just keeping it real. If no decent welterweight wants to fight him, then just take the challenge and get the biggest check while your at it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, is anyone top welterweight available or want to fight spence next? If not, then it should be Garcia.

cant fault his thinking here

I agree. Also, Mikey would beat half of the top 10 WWs anyway. I'd even pick him over Danny and Shawn.

I say let them fight.

Haters gonna hate, in the meantime...GET MONEY!

What did you all thought back in 2016 with GGG fighting Brook as replacement of Eubank jr?

Brook v. Golovkin wasn't that bad to me b/c Brook is actually a physically big guy. Definitely carrying 170 - 180lbs when not in camp.

I wasn't on board with Khan v Canelo because Khan's glass jaw.

Nothing wrong with Golovkin accepting a challenge from Brook and nothing wrong with Spence accepting Mikey's challenge. It isn't like Spence and Golovkin were the one's pushing for the fight. Also, both fights were/are nice paydays.

That said, Brook is actually very close to Golovkin's size and gave a good account of himself, don't think that will be the case with Spence/Garcia.

I was fine with it although I knew ggg would be too much for brook. What other option was there for ggg after eubank? I cant remember. Spence garcia is different because all other top Welters have fights lined up or are not interested in spence right now, but Garcia is, so I'm down. I dont think Garcia is going to win but I love his attitude. Same with brook when he stepped up. I love that s**t

My problem with GGG vs. Brook is because GGG criticized Canelo for fighting Khan @ 155, then signs to fight Brook @ 160! He didn't even give him a CW, and this is the man that says he would fight "anyone from 154 to 168!" I would feel the same if Spence Jr. had criticized Loma for fighting Rigo, and now he's fighting Mikey!

April 18, 2016:

"I understand this decision is maybe 20% Canelo's and 80% [his promoter], Golden Boy. It's business, but it's not respectful of boxing. Everyone says Canelo is a great champion, the idol of Mexico. The idol for what? For boxing? No. Or as a businessman? Right now, he looks like a businessman."

April 24, 2016:

“I think he’s too small,” Golovkin said when asked by Fighthype.com if he would be willing to fight Brook at a catch-weight of 157lbs. “My focus is on 160 middleweight division. Kell Brook and evergbody are just trash talking. If he’s ready, of course, I’ll fight Canelo because he’s middleweight champion. My focus is on middleweight division and the belts in the middleweight division. I don’t feel I’m the next [Mike Tyson]. Too much. I’m Triple G, Gennady Golovkin.”

July 10, 2016:

"I can not say anything bad about Brook. He is a great fighter. He has a good record and fights pretty well. I know there are many boxers who refused to fight me, so I'm a little surprised [that Brook accepted] and I'm really proud of this fight," Golovkin said.

"I do not know why Brook decided to climb up by two divisions, from 147 pounds to 160 pounds, but I'll be ready because he has earned my respect for trying to take all my belts."

Mikey Garcia has balls that clank but Spence still wins the fight

Give Mikey credit for wanting Spence but Spence still beats the brave Garcia. Mikey should beat on Lomo and maybe even old Paq but needs to avoid Crawford and Spence. But Money speaks all languages. Cash is King of the boxing ring.

Golovkin was avoided at his prime and still is not b/c of his size and incredible 1 punch KO power but his skills, cant say the same about Spence, he's overwhelming his opponents by his size and some illegal sht like low blows, not mentioning WADA testing

He has done testing and what illegal low blows does he throw???

Spence is being avoided for the exact same reason as GGG. Nothing dirty or illegal about Spence, hes a world class fighter, and person. Same goes for GGG. I hate it for both guys that periods of their careers are wasted begging someone to accept the challenge of trying to beat them, but that's boxing today.

Not surprising coming from the weight bully!

Yea, Spence ways a whopping 156 in the ring!!! Crawford was weighing 160 in the ring, while he was fighting at 140. Crawford is bigger than Spence and has spent his career being a weight bully. Yet, somehow it is Spence, who weighs rather light for a ww, that is called a weight bully.

You sir, are truly an idiot. You obviously do not know the first thing about boxing.
