    LOL no you wouldn't. not with all that money and recognition in place. Everyone here in Spence position would gladly take this fight.

      Why do they fail to mention that Mikey was a Jr. WW Champion less than a year ago, and beat both Broner and Lipinets at 140? It's not as big of a jump as they're making it out to be! Much more similar to Horn vs. Crawford, than Lomachenko vs. Rigondeaux!
      Great point, but the problem is Spence is a big welter and will probably move up to jr middle and maybe middle. Spence will have a considerable weight advantage on fight night

          They are the same weight, I got Mikey to win this one. Hearns was powerful and tall, but even shorter guys beat him. Tyson too was short in his division, but of course he had power.

          Who fought better quality opponents ? I think Mikey did, Salido was one of the toughest lol. I was gonna say if one survives Salido, he can survive anything, but of course Mikey did not survive, although he was given the win.

            Why would it be a circus ? Should we add height as well as part of boxing's categories ? Weight is enough.

            Errol Spence will move up one day to superwelter, then he can meet the Towering Inferno Fundora there.

              Best fighter either fought is Brook.

                  Weight is not always an advantage! See Hagler vs. Leonard! See Floyd vs. Canelo! See Pacquiao vs. Margarito! If Spence is as big as you think he is, then it's probably hard for him to make 147, and that's an advantage for Mikey! A lot of these guys killing themselves to remain at a lower weight class, are doing damage to themselves! I think that's why Mikey dropped that title @ 135!

                    Nope, it would be embarrassing for me.

                    I guess you would do anything for money?
