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

[Ganondorf]

The only thing that's common is the weight-size difference, they pursued Brook and he didnt have the profile of Garcia and he wasn't calling GGG out like Garcia has been doing with Spence.

Errol really has to fight him because of the way Garcia has continually called him out, if he were not to be willing to fight Mikey it would be perceived that he is ducking Garcia.

You guys are always the same you pick one common aspect and think everything is the same, look at all the angles not just a straight line to your point.

Right on! This has been Mikey running his mouth to fight! They would accuse Spence of ducking Mikey in a heartbeat!

Mate Im not giving props to Errol for the fight, but I fully understand why he is taking it, boxing is a business and he is a prize fighter being called out by a high profile guy that would appear to Errol to be easy money, taking that into consideration as well as he cant get the other top WW fights he wants and wanting to unify the WW title, when that's done he will move up.

Youre last ****** comment shows the level of your thinking, you are blinded with hate and I cant ever see how fans like you hate with so much venom it must be a youth thing.

Like you understanding why he's doing it means something? We all know why he's doing for fùcks sake. The reality is, it's a bítch move. This isn't a mega lucrative fight either.

What the hell are you talking about? You said I behave a certain way and I proved I didn't. That's hate/venom/etc?

I'm blinded by reality. I was one of the first people to discover Spence in the Am's. Ive been following him and been a fan since. I don't like how he's handling himself as a professional, he's acting like a punk. Blinded by hate, you're fùcking ******.

Spence isn't caring what we think. He's thinking buy the fight and enjoy watching an action packed fight.Because I promise we will get our money's worth. You can believe Mikey islgonna try to win even though he gonna come up short ,I bet it will be exciting while it lasts

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.

Must have come to your conclusion after watching AB. Mickey has no chance with any top 10 WW and neither would Adrian Broner. Spence is going to step into Mickey and just trade until Mickey's knees buckle. Nothing special just a straight beating like GGG vs Brooks, a beating for as long as it lasts.

Mikey has been talking about this for quite awile now. Since it looks to becoming a reality I don't have a problem with Spence being in favor of the fight. With that being said, I can see this looking bad for Spence no matter what the outcome. If he loses he'll get ridiculed. If it's competitive they'll say he got exposed. If he destroys Mikey they'll say he picked on a smaller guy.

But if you're Spence obviously you prefer to destroy Garcia and get criticised for that rather than to struggle or even lose to this smaller guy.

big dunn told me its different cause of stepaside fees or something. And a couple of others have said its different because garcia gave a couple of interviews mentioning spence. Apparantly that justifies the vastly different reactions.

Brook called out GGG the day Canelo - Khan was announced, literally, on that very day, soon as news came out amout that fight Brook got jealous and called out GGG, then later the fight was made when Eubanks mysteriously lost his pen.

However, GGG still deserved criticism, not because he fought Brook but because he was a total hypocrite about it. He criticised Nelo for fighting Khan then turned around and fought someone two divisions lower. That's blatant hypocrisy.

This is also the same guy who criticised Nelo for catchweights but wanted to catchweight Andre Ward himself, afraid to move up just one division after having said himself that he would fight anyone from 154 to 168.

It was also around the time that Lara was calling him out. So GGG actually did have better options he just didn't fancy them or played that high risk low reward card (after criticising fighters who do that and calling them businessmen and not fighters).

Yawl GGG fanboys like to play the victim, but if GGG is a victim then he is only a victim of his own hypocrisy.

I don't think this fight is competitive ,but you need to keep it real , its Mikey calling out , chasing down Spence , not the other way around, its like a small kid running his mouth over and over and you know that if you slap him across the face he will shut up and in this case you will also get paid ( a lot) to do it , thats the situation here.

Obviously I'd favour Spence but I really like Mikey Garcia, has he ever been wobbled hard or knocked down in his career?

Yes. Rocky Martinez knocked him down and Juan Carlos Burgos hurt him too. He was knocked down at least once more earlier in his career but I forget the opponent.

[bojangles1987]

He will have to make it up with a much better fight afterwards. Yes, we've seen smaller fighters come up and be great against much bigger guys, but this is not a good fight on Spence's side. It's something he should be criticized for.

It's not horrible, but he'll have to go for someone much better next time around if he ends up fighting Mikey.
