He did it to himself it happens that way. He could have always fought a Welterweight or sumthin'....

Mikey's no joke, hes not up there with Canelo or the elites but hes close. If he dominates him Ill give him props.

Alot of questions will be answered, Mikey has alot or experience even with big punchers.

Yea which one?None with big enough name to get him any where near money he makes here.Maybe Crawford would fight him but we know that is not gonna happen.Nobody else at top have any interest in him.

1st I think most experts put him up there with Canelo if not higher imo.2nd what big punchers has Mikey faced?He has fought a lot of good fighters(he does seem to avoid fast feet)and some DECENT punchers but which would you call big?Lippenets is prob the biggest puncher he has faced(and Mikey was feeling them shots) and would not call him a big puncher(a good one)Easter is also a good puncher but 135 and still not a big puncher imo.Same with Salido or Martinez.

He could have fought Ugas. I know he doesn't bring money but I would have respected that at least.

Spence will look great crushing Mikey. Some will give him credit and some won't. Spence will keep knocking out the best welterweights who dare to be great until his superiority at welterweight will be hard for anyone to deny. That is how I see it anyway. Besides he made a lot of money for fighting Mikey and that's a big win right there.

It's a tough spot, but I think he's let Mikey run his mouth enough and show that he didn't really ask for this but he'll oblige in giving Mikey exactly what he asked for. There's no time limit on how he does that as long as it's a beatdown

Not saying that is what will happen, but he can come out looking alright if he is mean and brutal in this one. Because I know how Crawford would be taking to Mikey's talk, wouldn't be so night on fight night.

Bud would make this dude look like a chump, just like AJ will make Wilder look like a chump. This is the simple reason why these fights will never take place. Garcia will fare much better than most of Spence's opponent's have...how much bigger was Bonehead than Mikey? Did it make a difference? Spence will struggle and he will catch heat for it, excuses will be made, he will be asked about Bud and make more excuses not to fight him.

Yes, Spence should have fought Ugas for maybe a third the money he got for fighting Mikey for respect. Spence is a prize fighter and the money is important to him just as it is to all prize fighters. Dare to be great Mikey could have fought Loma but he chose Spence and Mikey will also be very well paid for daring to get knocked out.

Spence is in no win fight.
