Does Spence and Mikey Garcia have the "it" factor to....

[R_Walken]

We agree on a lot of the same things. In many ways, I believe we’re focusing on different sides of the same coin. I don’t think either of these guys, Canelo or Mikey, have great personalities; but head-to-head, I see Alvarez as having more substantial raw material to work with. Just my opinion.

In creating a star, looks are one of the first considerations. Everyone, both men and women, are attracted to a good looking individual. I know some people are uncomfortable with the use of that word, but I’m not talking about sexual attraction here; it’s something that’s biologically ingrained, a natural human tendency. Even infants are attracted or repulsed by physical appearance. I don’t think Mikey has that going for him. We agree, he can become a star through other means, but in my opinion he doesn’t have the “it” factor. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to say Canelo is this terribly handsome guy, or that looks define “it.” I’m just saying Garcia doesn’t seem to possess anything beyond sheer boxing ability that’ll make him marketable.

Bringing the conversation back to the original question, I believe Spence potentially has more “it” factor than Garcia. However their careers play out is another matter. It’s all pure conjecture.

Agree with basically everything you wrote , I’m just being the optimistic fan that thinks if Mikey wins on Saturday and lands the PAC fight next and wins that.

His skills alone will be enough to have the best most loyal fanbase ( Mexicans Mex-Am )!embrace him , which will result in him being a big draw in the sport. Not the cross over type star but a permanent PPV fighter who with the right opponent will be able to generate a good amount of Buys and revenue

spence is one of the least charismatic boxers out there today. not to mention he hasn't accomplished much at all. and he's almost in his 30s. not going to be a global boxing superstar.

mikey isn't winning the spence fight unless spence really is an absolute hype job and somehow losses.but after mikey gets crushed by spence he can go down to 135 and lose badly to lomachenko.

Neither have the IT factor. Spence looks half asleep and has a personality of a tree. Borrrring.

Garcia sounds like some square Mexican kind of like Leo Santa Cruz and is extremely uninteresting. On top of that, his face isnt marketable.

They are both very good fighters but in terms of being household names and superstars, I dont see it.

If Mikey wins impressively he'll be on his way to becoming the new Pacquiao. Spence on the other hand will still be Spence if he wins.

Dream the *** on haha..
lol at Mikey becoming the new Pacquiao.

Mikey can barely carry Marquez’ spit bucket.

Spence isnt willing to coon and Garcia doesn't look caucasian/European enough.

Thanks. I agree with something you touched on earlier; it’s a shame Mikey lost two years of his career. We’ll never know what that might’ve meant, but we can easily conclude that he lost momentum, wins and exposure during some important, formative years. Of course, he could’ve been derailed; but, from the looks of it, more harm was done than good. Another career blindsided by contractual isssues.

hahahaha or spence looking drunk! I agree both of them do not have the IT factor! mikey is just dull as as hell outside the ring and inside nothing stands out about him.

and that's totally on mikey he got out of his contract with Top rank but at major cost and its partially a reason for the spence fight happening mikey lost a lot of time and momentum this fight will be by far his biggest payday he rushed to take this fight. he is 31 and time is ticking.

They aren't charismatic or gimmicky or act scandalous and they are both pretty ugly mofos so I don't think they have "it".

Best they can do is fight their ass off and entertain and get that bag cuz they won't ever be crossover stars.

They will get their bags. Just not the biggest ones.
