    How much credit does Spence get for facing Mikey.. scale of 1-10

    I say maybe 5 due to Mikey's boxing IQ and overall skills. but does a win move Spence up the P4P ladder? I say no. these "dare to be great" mofos are always in a win-win scenario. they have a built in excuse for losing and will get showered with praise for even winning a couple pity rounds.

    No credit. I'm a big believer in Garcia and have been for years but this is just a ****** fight. Garcia is doughy at 140 and Spence looks like he won't even be able to stay at 147 for all that long. They guys are too far apart in weight.

    Not only do I give Spence no credit for a W, if he lost I think it should be devastating to his career, losing to a guy that small.

      I'm surprised he isn't getting massive hate for facing Mikey actually.

        Not much credit. I wish they'd put Mikey in with a decent welterweight or two before he fights Spence and if he wins and looks good then it would make this matchup look a lot more credible. Somebody like Yordenis Ugas or even Andre Berto just to see how he adjusts to the weight. 3/10.

          Yep, I remember when Canelo vs Khan and GGG vs Brook were announced. People were criticizing them both heavily for facing smaller guys but Spence gets a pass for some reason. idk why.

            Same thing here. Spence could easily be fighting other welterweights.

              I'd give Mikey a lot more for taking the risk, its a big mismatch imho.
              Spence is way too big and even if he wasn't I feel he'd win anyway.

                  None..hè is fighting a lightweight. Almost no one gives Mikey a chance of winning, he's not a threat. But it's nice money I bet tho

                    0!

                    You're a massive Welterweight (have anyone seen him lately he looks extremely heavy with a fat face and everything)

                    fighting a Lightweight who never fought at 147...WHY? When you're in one of the deepest Division if not the Deepest Division in boxing!

                    Crawford "Want Smoke" since he posted "No Smoke" some weeks ago if that fight can't be made now fight Ugas, if not Ugas then Move Up fight at 154 Fighter!

                    Not in the business of Protecting NO FIGHTERS not even guys I'm a fan of. Spence Jr should be fighting Crawford and Mikey should be fighting Loma! BOTH went quiet on those match ups...Just Saying!
