But the size difference between Brook and GGG wasn�t as great. 30 days before the fight Brook weighed in at 176 lbs, which was the 30 day limit. He probably walked into the ring heavier than GGG.

Garcia looked like he made 135 easy in his last fight, and looked a little blown up at his 2 fights at 140.

Moving up two weight classes makes it sound like there is a huge weight difference when there really isn't. Brook was huge welterweight who just barely made 147 by draining himself. When he fought GGG he probably weighed about the same as GGG in the ring and he was very muscular. Brook may have edged out two early rounds but the fight was one sided and there was no doubt Brook was getting knocked out if his trainer had not rescued him. GGG was much bigger but he was a much better fighter. Mikey weighed 149 on fight night for Easter and Spence weighed 156 on fight night for Ocampo so they are only 7 pounds apart and they will be closer in weight than that when Mikey fights as a welterweight. I expect the Spence vs Mikey fight to be very one sided. Not because Spence is so much bigger but because he is better. Spence hits much harder, takes a punch better and throws more punches a round than Mikey. I think Spence attacks Mikey relentlessly from the first round. Spence will win every round and knock Mikey out in 8 rounds tops and possibly much earlier. I am just guessing like everyone else and you never know for sure how it will go until they actually fight. Mikey is very good and he really beat Broner very easily. MAN DOWN!

Garcia is a far better and more proven fighter then Brook, But even then Brook was getting up with GGG early and even lifted him off of his feet

Demolition job? Brook won at least two of the first four rounds. It was going to become a demolition job as the fight went on, but it certainly wasn't one up until the stoppage.

Sorry, I meant to say GGG wasn't much bigger than Brook but he was much better. I accidentally typed was instead of wasn't.

No. Spence is 28 years old in his physical prime as a man. Mikey Garcia got easily hit hard to the head and body by Lipinets then he moved back down to 135 being quoted saying 140 pounders have a size advantage over him. Spence is going to batter him if Garcia actually tries to win. You can expect Robert Garcia to throw the towel in at the first sign of trouble.

Brook landed a hard uppercut but it didn't slow GGG down at all. The punch knocked GGG's head back but it did not lift GGG off his feet and into the air. NO PUNCH COULD DO THAT. Brook was getting knocked out by a much better tougher harder punching fighter. You have this dislike for GGG and will never give him the credit he deserves. Brook was not in GGG's class and never had a chance to win.
