Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia: Spence More Important To Me Than Pacquiao

[boxinggod101]

You guys are all getting fooled. This fight wont get done. Just watch

He's never failed a test, but then again its also abnormal to run through 8 weight classes, getting stronger and stronger, while adding muscle mass, and IMPROVING stamina in the process

Forgive me for being a tad bit skeptical.

The only factual statement you made everything else is unproven, uneducated heresay.

I respct mikey for having huge balls but at this point even a win over a shot pac can set him up for superstardom. Spence is a beast no doubt but the guy has only two good wins in brook and peterson i even think its ****** to have spence at the p4p lists when there are guys more deserving.

Shot Pacquiao? Manny beats Mikey and Mikey knows that’s why he doesn’t want to fight Manny. Mikey is a nobody compared to Manny.

It's not a given Mikey beats Manny although that's a hard fight for Manny due to Mikeys movement (which we haven't seen much of lately, but we would against Manny or Errol).

I have Mikey 60/40 over Manny and 40/60 against Errol. Mikey is no doubt more skilled than Errol, but also 2 weight classes smaller

That being said I have already stated I strongly believe Manny destroys Spence - even today. Mannys style would cause Spence nightmares...manny is faster, as powerful, and has very fast feet.

Spence leaves himself wide open when he starts teeing off on opponents who stand right in front of him - like a heavybag. Manny is no heavy bag and he can throw hurting punches while moving.

I like TC to beat Manny, Mikey, and Errol in different fashion b/c of styles though

All due respect I disagree completely. PAC would beat Mikey convincingly possibly KO Mikey and would have a hard time with Spence BUT may beat him.

Mikey should make it happen with PAC and I would pay for that fight...

Pac is half the fighter he was though.

Mikey would be favorite today for good reason

PAC is half the fighter but will school Mikey and Mikey knows this. Why?? Because Mikey sparred PAC and he knows how hard he hits...

Pacquiao draws and Mexicans draw, I recognized it as a $$ winner right away.
This scenario reminds me when Chad Dawson came down in weight for Andre Ward and everybody said, when he loses he will blame it on the weight, which he did. If Mikey loses will he say, I guess I came up in weight/took a hard fight too quickly.

I think it depends how he will respond if again he does indeed lose. If he does lose I think anyone would say, yes! you jumped the gun to go up in weight too fast and did not prepare will for that weight division. So either way it's not going to look good. If he wins of course he has all the more selling of his name. Only time will tell.

Never fought a legit WW or JWW? He beat/dominated Tim Bradley 3 times...a former lineal JWW champion...

Style-wise I think Manny is a difficult matchup for Errol - who hasn't fought anyone even remotely close to "elite" yet. The people that trouble Manny are counter-punchers with a good defense.

The people that Manny does well with are come forward plodders with no defense. I think Errol is a massive hypetrain and a guy like Manny blows him up - even at this stage

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Was there a doubt that PAC could beat Bradley? Bradley went to hell and back against Provodnikov and almost got stopped by Vargas. Prior to that Bradley's claim to the upper echelons of the Jr WW was his unmemorable win over Devon Alexander.
That said, let's give PAC that. What happened after that? How many guys did PAC fight that you would consider elite or even better than Spence? Other than Money May of course (and PAC lost anyway as expected).

"Come forward plodders" is another name for garbage boxers. AKA not elite at all. Give Manny that and he looks spectacular and his fans (specifically Filipinos believe he is the best thing ever and I can bet you that 99% of them can't even name half of the last 10 opponents of their idol).

Manny will once again not disappoint. He will fight another BUM yet again.

I agree. Pacquiao will destroy Garcia's legacy and will be retired.

This.

Mikey knows it will end his career. He thinks he can dance with Spence but not Manny.

Losing to Spence.. . He can say he lost to a bigger guy with skills.. beating him would give him so much praise..

Losing to a 40 yr Pac.. would crush his ego... beating Pac would give him praise but not as much as beating Spence.

Facing Pac would net him more money... if he was confident.. he can face Pac first ..then Spence.
