    If Spence takes that fight, I will dog him out for doing something so cowardly.
    Why? Duran took on Leonard jumping 12 pounds/2 divisions. Mikey is a good fighter and I don't think he is avoiding any fight against lomachenko. Actually am pretty sure he would be a betting favorite if they fight tomorrow.

      Who is he gonna fight?

      Thurman is on injured reserve.

      Bud is with TR/ESPN.

      Porter isn't gonna be ready til next year probably + seems to wanna test his market value right now so he might not be a PBC guy for his next fight.

      Bout the biggest fight to make right now IS Mikey. And Mikey has won titles from 126 to 140. If he wants to make a 147lb attempt I think he deserves it just like any 4 weight division title holder would deserve it & specifically when it might be the biggest fight that could be made for both guys right now.

      Only fight that could be made besides Mikey might be Manny & it seems much more likely DAZN picks him up.

      Kinda rooting on Spence vs Mikey being the co-main for Wilder vs Fury.

        I don't like the idea of this fight


        Spence should get no credit for the win

        I know the cliche "daring to be great", but these types of fights can ruin fighters

        Look what Spence did to Brook who is a much bigger man

            I always criticized Hagler for facing little bitty dudes coming up in weight. But Mikey is a guy swiftly jumping up classes, he still a 135lbs fighter imo.

            Mikey would never in his life be a favorite against Loma. They fight the same style, except Loma is way better. And Mikey knows that.

              You just said you want Spence to step up. Now anyone is okay?

              Make up your mind or name names. The reality is Mikey IS one of the best opponents he can fight before the year is up.

                Mikey is a fking lightweight. Its not a "step up" for Spence, its a circus fight.

                  I think you are discounting what Mikey's accomplished in the game. He's a 4 division champion. He's beaten some quality guys. He's a P4P discussed guy. This kind of person should be able to call some of their own shots & while Spence is a big shot to call I don't think Spence's greatness in this sport is assured or predestined.

                  Its no circus fight. I think Mikey holds his own & surprises some people win or lose specifically those who think this is a mismatch or circus fight.

                  And there isn't anyone for Spence to fight at 147 thats a big fight right now. Mikey IS the big fight. Thats maybe the most important part of this if you wanna see Spence active.

                    I dont care about his accomplishments. It makes Spence look ****** constantly fighting bums and easy fights. He should be able to easily face the winner of Porter Garcia. Even Devon Alexander is a better opponent.

                      He fought Spence & a mando this year. What was he supposed to fight? You GOTTA actually consider the landscape of the division or YOU just look silly. Thurman don't wanna fight Spence or any f#cking body right now. Porter & Garcia just figured out the other belt. Manny gots the other belt. Who in the motherf#ck does Spence fight? Mikey is legit one of the best options IF he wants to fight before the year up. There isn't a whole lot of options.

                      And why dumb mfers act like Spence or anyone else meeting their mando's is a problem for Spence don't understand how things operate. No one was excited for that bs mando fight BUT if Spence doesn't fight that guy then he don't got a belt anymore so what do you suggest he do? Fight Alexander instead but lose his belt? Thats f#cking ******ed.

                      Some of you cats got such a unrealistic take on how this game works. Granted I wish it was more like how you want it to be myself, but the reality is thats not what we are dealing with & to put all of that on the fighter isn't a reasonable take on the situation. Fighters generally do what they can do to make the best fights for the most money they can make. But sometimes all this politics bs hinders there game massively in doing things we as fans would enjoy more. Its all that bs thats the problem more than Spence is the problem. F#ck man honestly the biggest problem in this division thats f#cking sh^t up that you can lay on a fighter is this part time boxer bs by Thurman. Thurman can get some of the biggest blame you can lay on a fighter right now.
