    I thought Broner's athleticism would be too much but Mikey was busier with accurate punches. Could he do the same against Teo? I'm not sure but I would love to find out
    It's a solid comparison...the difference would be if Teo let his hands go would Mikey be able to take his power or would he fight in survival mode from being touched up like he did against Errol???...Those are the questions...I have...and I would say that Lopez would need to raise his profile but he just beat arguably the number 1 p4p in boxing and got all the belts!!!...

      Garcia beats Teo. Garcia took the punches of Spemce okay. Spence is way bigger than Teo. Teo is essentially a jr welter. Spence is a huge welter even a junior middle weight melting down.

          Thank you Donnie. Mikey is tough and very crafty. Spence is just massive at 147. MIkey should have opened up more but people need to quit doggging him about that.

              I think Teo has more competitive spirit than Broner so he would definitely let his hands go instead of getting hit and nodding his head over and over.

              As for Mikey, he should compete at 140 because 147 isn't gonna work unless he is matched correctly. He still has decent power at welterweight but his lack of size makes things difficult.

                Good analysis. I think 140 is Mikeys best weight. I would say Mikey is the favorite if this fight was made at 140. Teo wouldn not have a size adavantage either.

                  At 135 when both could make it comfortably I might favor teo but at 140 mikey has good power still and he has the edge in timing

                    Mikey is the more proven fighter and has been in with solid competition. He also has a lot of power for his size and I believe his fundamentals might be a little too sharp for Teofimo at this point in his career.
