    the size difference is just outrageous man.

    If mikey garcia should somehow some way pull it off and win IMO that automatically puts him in the top 10 PFP fighters of all time, and certainly puts him PfP the best of this current era for sure.

    Mikey on some crazy shít for fighting spence fr

      Mikey will get his skills tested, along with his chin and body. Spence is a great boxer/puncher, and even a few years ago gave Floyd hell in sparring, and we all know how hard he is to hit. Mikey gave a lot of welterweights hell in sparring too, including Maidana, so his confidence is high.

      What Mikey is giving up isn't much different than what Floyd gave up in some of his fights as far as size. Does he have enough superior skill to box 12 and enough power to keep Spence off of him? He is about exactly the same size as Pacquiao, so the size difference is over-blown. Pac has fought welterweight for many years.

      It will be a closer fight than most think, until round 8 on, when Spence's shots begin to take their toll. Robert will have the white towel close by.

        Spence looked massive in his last fight. I felt bad for Ocampo. IBF was wrong for that. Imagine what he'll do to Mikey. It's easier said than done. Mikey is in for a rude awakening once he's in that ring. Not saying Mikey's chance of winning is impossible but improbable

          Mickey doesn't abandon the jab I agree, but neither does Spence.
          But mikey doesnt let a jab take em out of position liek spence does. War Mikey!

          Spence is easy work for Mikey! All spence have is size! we gonna see spence try to be porter in their and use his body not his boxing to beat Mikey, mikey gonna light spence up like a christmas tree!
