    Exactly, the size difference between GGG and Brook was much less than the difference between Garcia and Spence. Mikey is fairly small even for a 140 pounder while Brook is a big 147er who has to cut a ton of weight to make welter.

Remember GGG and Canelo were criticized for losing rounds to Brook and Khan respectively even though they both scored knockouts. If Spence is as good as they say he is, he should beat Garcia pretty easily and not need to go to the scorecards to do it.
      I mean Golovkin scored a stoppage but not a knockout nor did he really even get close to dropping Brook aside from the first minute of the fight. But Brook is solid AF and Spence really had to break him down to get him on the floor.

        Pointless fight for Spence. when Mikey was calling him out everyone said Spence was scared, once he accepted the fight they started talking about cherry picking. He won’t get any credit for this fight if he wins. Mikey is moving up one weight class which is normal it’s not like he’s jumping two like Rigo. Floyd moved up to 154 from 147 and nobody ever cared if he was too small or not.
        They even wanted him to go to 160 smh

          Spence is bigger no doubt, but that doesn't mean any of my points were not factual, because they were. Mikey is essentially coming up one weight class. He is rated higher P4P than Spence and won a title at 140 last year. All true...Do I think Mikey gets stopped? Yeah probably, but he will be able to compete in the first half of the fight until Spence breaks him down.

            I think Porter beats Spence to be honest, too strong. They're both JMW's.
            But he stopped every fighter he faced after that that’s why you had to go back 5yrs lmaooooo fans like you are funny. That fight was 5yrs ago and that was like his 12th professional fight

              I like Mikey a lot but I do think the size difference will show after a few rounds.

              I think Spence is the best fighter at 147 and he stops everyone, but if Mikey somehow beats Spence it would probably be by controversial decision.

              It seems like they can make more money off of a Mikey win since he's got the big latino market and speaks English unlike Canelo.
              Usually very easy to predict who Haymon wants to win. If Mikey loses, he moves back down in weight and isn't hurt very much. If Spence loses, his market value drops immensely. Obviously Haymon would want Spence to win.

                      He did, but he didn't knock him out or even drop him for that matter.
