Comments Thread For: Errol Spence - Not Just Bigger But Also Better

[dwayne3534]

Mikey’s biggest problem was his reach
Just couldn’t get to him
Sure after swinging at air , missing his target , no fughin way of touching Spence , that’s when power and size really took over
But the root of the problem was the reach difference
That’s why Robert Garcia kept telling his brother to shorten the distance
Spence only started really battering Mikey around the ninth ( badly )

But he gave up more reach to Easter, why didn't it matter then?

All these ppl now saying Miley ain't even elite. I don't remember seeing one comment about Mikey not being elite before the fight, but now everyone knew it.

[QUOTE=Thraxox;19594911]As if Easter is anywhere near as big as Spence. He's tall, and lanky, that's it, he doesn't have good power, and he's not as strong. There's a reason why he's at 135 despite being 5'11. Easter is gonna get destroyed at 140 or at 147.

Stop with the excuses, Spence can't stop a lightweight the way Loma, Golovkin, and Canelo destroyed their own lightweights and welterweights, because Spence is a level below them.[/QUOTE

Last time I checked Spence stopped the same guy Golovkin stopped (Brook), Rigo injured his hand, and Khan, lol, do I even need to say anything about glass chin Khan?

Man, now you're just reaching. You're comparing Spence to Lomachenko, Golovkin, and Alvarez because he didn't stop Mikey?

Lomachenko's opponents quit because it's in the TR contract. Spence stopped the same guy Golovkin did by breaking his other eye socket. Alvarez only had Khan's chin to deal with.

Maybe Mikey is just tougher than those other guys and have more heart.

Stop being lazy and rewatch the fight and see the display of skills Spence used to win the fight.

I already know you're one of those shiny objects posters that can only see KOs.

I should've just waited and read your post.

Mikey’s biggest problem was his mouth. He got so much adulation for mentioning Spence that He hypnotised himself into thinking it was a good idea. Nobody should be surprised. Spence was supposed to hand out this pummelling . Anything short of that or a competitive fight I would have jumped ship and join forces with Crawford. For now Spence is the truth. Let’s leave old Pacquiao alone he has had enough wars let’s target the porter’s and Crawford of this world and secure our own legacy

Nobody is stopping Mikey, have you seen the size of his melon head. He maybe be a lightweight but that head size he has, is easily cruiserweight size

Canelo never stops anyone is his own weight class of relevance. He stopped Kirkland who wasn't even a boxer at the time with the wrong trainer.
He stopped Smith who is a nobody and was no where near the top of the division.
And he stopped Khan who moved up 2 weight classes and was still forced to fight at Caneloweight.
His last fair stoppage was Angulo in 2014.
Canelo hasn't stopped anyone else in recent memory. Nice try trying to sneak his name in that list above lol

Sometimes people believe their own hype and fail properly ascertain reality. This is what happened to Garcia. He paid the price in a spectacular fashion against an opponent that was willing to use the attributes that were initially granted to Garcia.
The reality is that Garcia is a decent fighter, no more no less. There is very little about him that makes you go " whoa!" This dude is amazing. Nothing. Luckily, he has a strong chin and a pretty good defense.

[Noelanthony]

Just a quick point.

Imagine Spence moved up two weight divisions to fight someone like Charlo (who also hasn’t really beaten any of the top guys in his division).

Charlo wins a 12 round decision

Is Charlo now the p4p number 1?

Is it a point or a question? Spence doesn’t move up or down if at all you have him in your P4P ratings. It was a fight he was supposed to win and he did. Nothing more nothing less
