    What are you talking about?

    Mikey is.a former 130lb champ who jumped from 135 to 147 for the fight. The opponent, Spence, is a career WW and wouldnt be a small JMW had significant height, reach, and weight advantage. Spence fought defensively and somehow never managed to hurt the former JLW champ and current LW champ.

    Mikey wasnt able to do much but that was because of how cautious the larger Spence was. Nothing Mikey can do about that.

    What is crazy how some fans - like you - blame the former 130 pound champ for not making his fight with career 147 pounder "more exciting".

    If there was failure it was on Spences part. He fought safety first and didnt give Mikey any chance to alter course of fight.

    But again Spence chose to fight cautious and since he was taller, weighed more, stronger, and had longer reach...Mikey couldnt do much.

      What am I talking about? It was his choice. I don't care what he weighed. He promised a fight and didn't deliver. Damaged goods. I would never pay to see him fight. Quit crying about his weight. He charged a PPV price for a non effort. Boo Hoo it was his choice. Nobody forced him.

        You blame a LIGHTWEIGHT 135 pounder for not "making it a fight" with a 147 career pounder?

        That's not a Mikey thing that's a "you" thing brother :-/

          If an idiot starts a fight with the bigger guy, it is on him to make the fight. He's a disgrace. Charging for a non effort. Pretending he was winning by pumping his fist every round. He's in the same bag with Chavez Jr, as far as I'm concerned. An embarrassment.

            It's hard to say but I'm gonna say possibly Haney is young and on top of the world right now my only worry with him is how does he deal with adversity. As bad as I hate to say it Haney seems like the real thing. He is young and talented with a very high drive. I think he wants to be the next Floyd and that helps him to a certain degree
