Size is a small part of why Mikey lost. Poor head moment and an unwillingness to sell out was a big factor. When Duran moved up to face Leonard he had a 6 inch reach disadvantage and was only 5 ft 7 Leonard same height as Spence he brought it to Leonard. Came forward slipped punches. Mikey is passive aggressive thought Spence was just a banger. Dumb fight plan zero adjustments. Spence can fight he is a left handed Mixture of Vernon Forrest and Mike Mcallum he is long with great defense. You have to fight him.

Mikey was not and is not a welterweight. There are weight classes for a reason. Spence's gameplan worked perfectly and his jab and movement nullified any offensive Mikey tried to mount. He wouldn't have stayed for twelve rounds and take punishment if he didn't think he could be effective. Of course he couldn't because Spence was taller, longer, bigger and stronger and used his reach appropriately.

Yeah? It didn't seem to be a problem when Mikey gave up 5 inches in height and 10 inches in reach to Easter.
STOP WITH THE EXCUSES.

Mikey could easily walk through anything he tried plus Easter doesn't know how to properly use his height. Spence does plus he's much bigger than Easter, much stronger and a better boxer. Use your brain next time you try to assess why Mikey lost.

Give this a few years. Bradley already said it. It might be completely over for Mikey off the back of this fight. Confidence gone. Future over. Ect. Let's see how this plays out..

You are taking this a little too personal.
Not good for your blood pressure!!!
So you have been betting against Mikey for years and finally in ONE fight against arguably one of the best fighters in the division you are proved right?!!?
Cannot help but laugh at this.
So how much $$$$ have you won picking against Mikey
And you "cannot help but laugh at this." Dumbass..

all the experts have said the same thing, only you seem to disagree my illiterate friend.
Like the "experts that picked Lacy over Calzaghe? Like the "experts" that said Margarito would "kill" Mosley? Like the "experts" that sad Rigondeaux would dominate Lomachenko?
THOSE experts?
Listen, idiot, I'm one of the more consistent intelligences in this community and have been on this particular forum for almost 15 years. Step back, observe, and know WHO THE F.CK YOU'RE TALKING TO, my illiterate friend.

all these clowns coming out the woodwork talmbout "Size didn't matter it was skill".
Yes, Spence is just the superior fighter, I recognize that, for sure, but yall need to stop lying to yourselves if you really believe the size difference didn't help matters come on now, THERE ARE WEIGHTCLASSES FOR A REASON, big facts
Is this what you're asserting?? That if Mikey was naturally a few inches taller, longer and a little bit heavier it would have made ANY difference???
Is that what you're claiming, "fool?"
