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

[Boxing Hero]

This is a legacy fight for Mikey. But if Spence wins it does nothing for him

Your post tells me you're a Crawford fanboy. One of are our statements are true. Can you guess which one?

Yeah mine. Only a fanboy would call Crawford a ***** for not fighting Spence when pbc (and spence) have openly said they won’t make this fight until they’ve unified the belts and arum has spoken positively about making this fight. If I was a fanboy I would call Spence a ***** but I haven’t.

I can't wait to see Mikey Garcia get brutally knocked out. The look on his brothers face will be priceless

I'm with you on that!!!! Mickey at least should fight PAC. But we all know why he doesn't want to fight PAC!!!..Besides all that, why not Loma???

Apparently this is what the fans want and it's a money grab for both plus a good name for whoever wins.

Lol fans did not want this. Nobody was requesting this. Even for us hardcore fans.
It’s not even that big of a money grab. A fight with pac or loma will even do more without that much of a risk.

Does any one else think the 147 limit will be a problem for Spence? He'll have only fought twice in 22 months by the time this fight comes around, will be 29 and might be starting to struggle at the weight.

Garcia will have a noticeable foot speed advantage in this fight..... if he can move around effectively and absorb Spence's offence when it does land (aka not clean), we just might see Spence fade down the stretch?

Hope there is VADA testing for this fight also.

not a fair fight, Garcia is much smaller, wholeheartedly disagree with it

[SUBZER0ED]

Spence says this will be a legacy fight for both of them. It would be for Mikey, if he can miraculously beat Spence. But legacy for Errol? KOing little Mikey Garcia is no legacy. Making his first PPV title defense against a man two weight classes down is frown-worthy.

[Satir]

it wouldnt be a legacy fight for Mikey neither, who is Spence, some kind of legend?

Mikey

Spence sounds like De La Hoya trying to sell Canelo vs Khan. "Its about legacy" Please don't insult our intelligence with this bull****. The biggest fighter in the 147 pound division fighting a former featherweight who looked small and pudgy at 140, what a joke.

Mikey can win this fight. Khan wasn't anywhere near Mikey's class, Mikey's been sparring guys at 175 for years and Spence's one real test was beating a weight - drained Kell Brook coming down from 160. This is a much closer fight than people thing. At the same time, I wish Spence fought Crawford and Mikey fought Loma to unify 135, but Bob Arum is a crook and nobody wanted to see Garcia fight Commey and Spence fight another No name. This is the best fight we could have asked for considering 2019 will be a make -or-break year for boxing viewership and Global interest in the sport

Garcia is going to be flopping around on the ground like a fish, out of water just like De La Hoya when BHop popped his liver.

On the flip side of it, he always can say he took challenging (****** in my opinion) fight and lose no cred for it.
