    Spence is younger and faster than Golovkin. I think a lot of the reason for Brook’s early success was due to the speed difference. Also, Brook hit Golovkin with his best shots but Golovkin kept coming, were Mikey able to do the same to Spence I think he wins it but I just don’t think that will happen.

    I expect a close early fight with Spence’s size and strength being too much over the long haul and Mikey weakening late.

        Like the countless threads you made a few years ago claiming Chavez Jr. was gonna beat Martinez? Back when you were ElBosshog? When Mikey loses, are you gonna reappear with a different name again?

              ... so: all the top guys and champs in the Welterweight division don't want to fight him and are waiting for Spence to move up, and Mikey will surpass them all, right?... well, this is very, very unlikely to happen...

                  People seem to forget that Spence had more that half of his fights at above 147... and that he never went the distance since he fought at 147...

                      Don’t get me wrong. Mikey is a great fighter top 10 p4p even. But he should have taken a tuneup at WW first since he last fought at 135. Prime Kell Brook was also a great fighter, he schooled Porter all night. He moved to 147 to 160 then got destroyed and ruined his career. (Orbital injury)

                      Also a question, Is there a boxer in his prime who moved up to two weight classes and beat the other guy who’s also in his prime and considered onemof the top guys in his division ?
                      I think Spence is the somewhat bigger and better fighter and will slaughter Mikey and win by early KO just like GGG KOed Brook. Brook might have won the 2nd round but I don't expect Mikey to win any rounds. I see no reason for Mikey to take a tuneup at 147. It won't change anything. He has fought twice at 140. Lightweights and welterweights fight exactly the same way except welterweights hit harder on average and take a punch better. Either Mikey can beat Spence or he can't. What everybody now calls two weight classes used to be called one weight class. In the past many fighters have been the welterweight champion and beat the middleweight champion for a jump of 13 pounds. Middleweight champions like **** Tiger jumped up 15 pounds to beat the light heavyweight champion Jose Torres. Lightweight to welterweight is a jump of 12 pounds and Mikey has fought twice at 140. Spence is a better fighter who hits much harder, takes a punch better and throws more punches a round than Mikey in my opinion. Mikey is a good brave fighter.
