What Mikey Garcia is Missing?

It's just too much time spent on the internet man. I knew a poster one time who would post endless discussion online and then when someone brought up Cassius Clay, he argued as to why someone would compare all time greats to a guy who only had (so many fights). Basically the dude boxrec'd the name Cassius Clay. He literally had no idea who he was.
Just goes to show you that having discussions on here with people is pointless because you don't know who you're talking to half the time.Comment

I actually have Mikey winning. Here's the thing though, he's not gonna get much credit at all if he beats him. That's actually a lot of credit from boxing heads. Because it's such high risk low reward.Comment

Stop regurgitating what EVERY casual box can says when there's a Southpaw involved. Seriously. Every fight people say this and it rarely has any bearing because these people have southpaws in their gyms, they train an entire camp with them. Just because you only see them on TV doesn't mean that's the beginning and end of what they do.Comment

A guy moving up in weight to fight the best needs to be exceptional in some way not just all around decent, he needs some kind of edge which I don't see.Your post is reflective of someone who spends too much time reading ***** on the internet. Why does Garcia have to be an all time great to beat Spence?
What makes a pro in almost any fashion is the fact that he everything very well. Styles also make fights. Spence is a good fighter but it wouldn't be some monumental upset if Garcia were to win.Comment

True, true. I'm sure we all did it at some point. And we probably learned better by getting put in our rightful places.It's just too much time spent on the internet man. I knew a poster one time who would post endless discussion online and then when someone brought up Cassius Clay, he argued as to why someone would compare all time greats to a guy who only had (so many fights). Basically the dude boxrec'd the name Cassius Clay. He literally had no idea who he was.

I think he’s saying that mikey would need some “freakish” talent to overcome that size advantage, which he’s saying mikey does not possess.Comment

You talk like a casual and you have been here since 2011?You got to have something other than good fundamentals to move up and beat a fighter like Spence. There got to be, in my opinion, some kind of freakish ability you have that your opponent doesn't.....lightening foot speed (Pacquiao), freakish left hook (Trinidad), fast hands/combos (SRL), powerful right hand (Hearns), relentless pressure (Duran, Chavez), adjustments and defensive mastery (Mayweather), old man strength (Hopkins), superior athletic ability (Roy Jones), charisma (De La Hoya)...
Mikey is not exceptional in any of these categories!!!! I am a boxing fan and I don't see what his strategy could possibly be, challenging Spence, imo, will be an epic fail for Mikey Garcia!
Hope he gets paid well.

old man strength is a skill? stfu lol. charisma as a skill that matters in a fight? stfu.
If you think you need to be exceptionally better than your opponent at one thing to beat them, you really DKSAB. If you think you need to be exceptional at one thing to be elite you really DKSAB. What's with all the idiots coming out of the wood works lately?Comment

...which is most often the case. Southpaws almost always fight orthodox fighters, and orthodox fighters generally don’t face many southpaws...of course it’s an advantage.Comment

Pointless saying that one of the top p4p boxers in the world is "missing" something when the problem is not that he's missing something, it's that they aren't the same size, at all.
Is a backwards way of looking at the situation.Comment
