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

[Drew Bundini Br]

GTFOH!! GG didn't think twice about fighting the much smaller BROOK who was 2 classes smaller!!. CANELO didn't think twice about the smaller KHAN and LOMO damn sure didn't against lil old RIGO!!

Ugas is available. So is Dusty Harrison. And Jaron Ennis.

To be fair, he could fight the winner of Berto-Alexander (just one week removed from Garcia-Easter.) But people would actually call him fighting someone in his division a cherry pick.

Right....

No one cares fam. Ugas will get his shot though. Ennis is two years off and Harrison has no chance in hell

Btw none of them are known. Harrison and Ennis would actually be a good scrap. They should make that happen.

Exactly, he can't win no matter who he fights. His only options are Berto/Alexander, Ugas, or Garcia. He'll be criticized no matter who his THIRD fight this year is.

Don't forget there were idiots here saying he wouldn't fight three times this year.

Fighting Mikey makes sense.

Spence doesn't have many other options to make money. He's in a similar situation that GGG was in with Kell Brook. In this era of boxing if you appear dangerous, nobody wants to fight you. Maybe if he appears vulnerable against Mikey his phone will start ringing.

Mikey will give a good account of himself before Spence's size and power catches up with him.....but Spence will have to be UP or a loss!

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

These idiots don’t understand the inherent risk Spence is taking every time he makes 147. If he doesn’t move up, at some point his body is not going to respond the way it has been, as he gets naturally bigger. Given Spence’s build, I would say he has maybe 1 or 2 more fights at WW where he will still be 100% physically. Mikey is really up against it if he takes this fight next.

Absolutely correct! The body will eventually naturally outgrow the weight and continually to attempt to make the weight will produce damage. That’s why they say do it while young. Eventually the body won’t allow the weight any longer. Spence and his team know what they are doing and I agree 2 more and he moves on. He wants to unify that division in a big way

So how’s this any different than when GGG fought Kell Brook??

Remember all the shyt and criticism GGG took when he took that fight. As a reminder, GGG was in deep negotiations to fight Eubank Jr... dude lost his pen so Kell Brook stepped up and the fight was offered at the Last minute.... we all know what happened after that....

Basically no difference. Golovkin is just on some peoples hate list that are now strangely quiet. Personally I don't have a problem wuth Garcia fighting Spence. The one difference I see was Brook on fight night was a solid Middleweight. He wasn't fat he was muscular and looked good. I know Mikey is not going to outweigh Spence in the ring like
Brook and Golovkin.
