Spence is a Better Boxer than Garcia.

"Make him miss" is exactly what Spence did. All night long except one round. He even pulled a Floyd shoulder roll counter at one point - sloppy, but pulled it off.

To an extent I believe Klitschko wlad would have outboxed silly ward.

Doesn't mean wlad was a better boxer

Size help you to outbox fighters.

Rigo didn't land a glove on Loma and I believe he's as good as a master boxer as Loma.

Garcia has no business at 147 he doesn't have the speed of Floyd or PAC to make it competitive Vs elite.


Those natural 147 dudes are ripped supermiddleweight on fight night.

Had to stop right here. A lot of truth in this post. You beat me to the point that size helps you oxbox an opponent. Two equally skilled fighters: one with superior height, reach and weight. The advantages are there at every turn. This isn’t a video game where skills can be separated from physical attributes.

Mikey started his career at 126; he probably tops out at 140. Spence drains down to 147. One day he’ll probably fight at 160. His frame can clearly handle it. Pretty obvious now that Garcia was in over his head, size-wise. Might be a different story if they were the same size...but they’re not.

Yeah, it was close at the beginning, then when Mikey felt that power and his bones singing he went in survival mode,+the reach difference sure Spence outboxed him...

Same happened to rigo Vs Loma

Well, he fought a smaller guy who moved up TWO weigh classes. The phuck you expect.

The fvvck YOU expect?

It's a shame NSB folk dont own no houses. I'd bet anybody my home that Mikey whoops Spence

Apparently you expected Mikey to win. I expected Mikey to have a better showing, but he didn't because he's not a better boxer than Spence.

NO, i feel Mikey is still technically a better Boxer but those 2 just dont belong in the same division. It wasnt just Spence skill that beat Mikey and it wasnt just Spence size that beat him it was the combination of the 2. An example would be Spence had a very good solid and accurate jab against Garcia, thats the skill, but he also had a big reach advantage, thats the size and together the jab stopped Mikey from doing anything. The jab was everything on the night.

Had Mikey of managed to get through the jab and be able to do his own work i think he would of got stopped but he would of had much more success round by round but Spence is good enough to of had some of his own successes and they would of hurt Garcia. But P4P scenario that is a very different fight.

How many punches Errol would land on a top 168 pounders if he moves up?

Let's say benavidez stay at 168 and Errol move 21 pounds north to his first weight class like Mikey did in some years and fight benavidez?

Benavidez would batters Spence, Spence would be afraid to throw, that's what happened to Mikey dude was in survival mode, had he boxed he would have gotten ktfo

Mikey didn't move up 21 pounds, he went up 12 at most and he had fought at 140 more than once.
Spence going to 160 is a better comparison and I'd venture to guess he'd land more than zero meaningful punches on Canelo or GGG who I consider 1 and 2 at MW.
Not saying he would win but he wouldn't get so throughly outclassed like Mikey.
