    Tbh I think Mikey has better boxing skills and IQ than Keith I was very impressed when Mikey shut Broner out 12 rds to nothing.
    I think Mikey is better than the Thurman who fought Lopez and would beat Thurman in a welterweight fight. I think Spence is much better than either Thurman or Mikey and knocks them both out within 8 rounds and probably less. MAN DOWN!

      The scorecards were not 12 rds. to nothing. Broner won a few rounds on the cards although Mikey won by a lot just as Pacquiao beat Broner by a lot.

        Mikey is the smarter fighter

        Keith is the better athlete. That said I think Mikey poses a bigger mental challenge for Spence who I think is pretty overrated to begin with. If Brook had KO power and wasn't GGGs leftovers he would have beaten Spence who was clearly getting outboxed until Brook gassed out. Garcia is the more polished more disciplined version of what Spence saw against Brook. What wins? size or boxing skill? It does make for an interesting scenario.

            Lmao, how about actually watching the fight yourself instead of relying on the judges scorecards.

            There is not a single round that you can give to Broner in that fight if you're an honest boxing fan. Mikey pitched a complete and utter shutout. The Pac fight was more competitive.

                  The only thing Garcia is better at is getting his ass kicked. That and fistpumps.

                    Thurman has better wins.

                    Is this even a question? Before spence fight mikey had b quality wins..

                    Why did people even think he was special at all.
