Mike Garcia HOF

[Boxingraya]

My post was in response to the criticism of Spence for not knocking Garcia out. My point being that Spence gave Garcia no chance to win because HE never opened up on Garcia. Spence, as you noted, relied heavily on the jab which took away any chance Garcia might have had.

Spence was technically better than Garcia had previously thought, I believe.

Why Spence didn't open up more is hard to say. Maybe he was just carrying Garcia out of respect. Maybe he just wasn't good enough.

Thanks my friend.

No problem; You are more than welcome

That's very true. After all, just like Mikey he is a four divisional champion.

broner has only just begun.

HOF isnt as prestigious anymore. Arturo Gatti is in it too.

Agree, ten to twenty years from now we will be seeing a lot of marginal fighters being inducted. Not that Mikey is marginal, but I can see guys like Paulie, Broner, Peterson, Khan all getting in at some point.

exactly. if gatti is in, they may as well let rahman in.

Legend? C- troll post.

And idk that he's HOF, but the HOF standards are so subpar who knows. 4 belts might just get you there with a very solid name like Mikey has.

And yea people have turned a bit against Mikey since he took this fight, but I think he deserves to be criticized now after he was largely just in survival mode, imo, during this fight. I was one thinking Mikey would give a better account of himself than he did which I was wrong about, but I definitely didn't think Mikey would try so lil to win the fight which is most of the reason he's getting sh^t on now.

Although honestly I don't think he's getting sh^t on as much as one could argue he could, but maybe we see more intensity towards him once he schedules his next fight idk.

If he fights Lomachenko and loses he’s out he will be remembered as the other 4 division Champ Adrian Broner

Neither Spence nor Mikey are HOF yet.
Also, moving up and losing in a close hard fought contest is one thing but that is not at all what happened. The fight was a big disappointment

Yeah, but is it any worst than the younger, bigger, stronger Canelo losing every round against the older Mayweather?

That loss didn't seem Canelo as much as it's hurting Mikey.
