Comments Thread For: Spence: People Think Garcia is Crazy - This is a Legacy Fight

[BLASTER1]

DId you say this about ggg and brook

I was not on the forum at that time but yes if he says no then he gets labelled a ducker.
It's a no-win situation with un-friendly fans.
Your dammed if you do and your dammed if you don't.

Fair enough at least your consistent. My issue is those fans who are all for this fight but wanted to crucify ggg

GGG is great.
I wouldn't crucify him.
He's done middle weight and himself proud.

“I respect Mikey,” said Spence, who will be fighting in his hometown. “He’s a real fighter. A lot of fighters today get away from legacy. … A lot of people say he’s crazy doing it but this is a legacy-defining fight for both of us. Pay-per-view, Cowboys Stadium, a huge turnout … I’m happy he took the fight.”

Raises hand..

I think he is crazy..

Mickey is getting damaged

Mikey is crazy, but I love his gangsta! This is what champions do! SRL, RJJ, B-Hop, Oscar, Mayweather, Cotto, Pacquiao, Ward, Canelo and Mikey! SALUTE!!!

3.5 inch height advantage
4 inch reach advantage
2 weight class advantage
Strength advantage
Perhaps even speed advantage


Why does anyone wanna see this fight at all?

Am I the only one who remembers Mikey trying to fight Cotto at 154??

Nope I remember it.

I don't blame ESJ for taking this fight. People forget he walked in the ring to call out Porter immediately after he beat Danny Garcia! Spence didn't walk into the ring to call out Mikey Garcia!! And we know Porter backed out like a chump and came up with excuses (Ugas), Thurman wanted a can for his return J. Lopez, Danny Garcia (Adrian Grenados) lost obviously can't give a title shot after that, Khan is out, Berto no one wants to see. And Spence said last week he's open to moving up and would be interested in fighting Hurd if it wasn't for Charlo. Why not take a money fight in your home town in the meantime? It's not like Thurman or Porter is in a big time fight, and people are complaining about the Pac and Broner fight also not to mention Crawford's last fight wasn't against a big name opponent either!

People forget GGG vs Brook was not planned way ahead of time. Brook was a late replacement. He gave a good account of himself for a while, anyway.

Spence vs Garcia will be a very competitive fight for the first half of the fight. MG is very highly skilled, and has decent power to go with it. Spence is too though, and is relentless in his attack. Mikey will get his shots in, but about the 8th or 9th round he will be wishing he didn't take the fight, much like Peterson. I'm looking forward to seeing Spence fight a highly skilled boxer like Mikey.

Pac was smaller than DLH, Duran was smaller than SRL, SRL was smaller than Hagler, Floyd was smaller than Canelo, etc. All varied circumstances, I know, but all took a chance. Doesn't happen often anymore.
