    Leonard was taller and had longer arms than Hagler. He didn't have some huge weight advantage over Leaonard like Loma had over Rigondeaux, and Spence will have over Garcia.

    Of course he’s licking his lips,he’s built like a Middleweight against a light welterweight.

    It always did matter and I know Paulie M believes PEDs and folk jumping divisions have made it more possible now.

    Spence most likely runs over him. Mikey's too small for a big welter like Errol.

    yeah, what i mean is that if one of the fighters isnt elite, then size is not the most important determining factor in the fight and the elite guy should win. i think mikey would beat the crap out of danny, but danny isnt elite, hes a linares or easter level.

    No, not a single peep from the blacks. Going FULL "church mouse" mode on this one.

    Now, frankly, I don't mind it a single bit. Just like I didn't mind GGG vs Brook, Canelo v. Khan or Loma v. Rigo.

    Mikey has that fat Mexican gene, and there is no escaping that. He's killing himself to make 135lbs these days. I think making 140 to fight Broner was probably a mental and physical war as well. He's going to 147lbs because he doesn't have a choice.

    Jumping to straight into the lions mouth. The way it should be done. It'll be a solid fight for as long as it lasts but Mikey gets stopped before the 6th, and the Spence show rolls on. Good little stay busy fight for Spence until he waits on Duck Garica to turn down the unification and rematch Rod Salka.

    Yes that’s what I thought you meant and we have a few recent examples like GGG v Brook,Canelo v Khan and I’d also add Canelo v Cotto since Cotto looked ok but just his punches had zero effect on the bigger man.
    Guys like Crawford and Lomo and possibly Mikey are anomalies in that they have to move up just to get challenged.

    No one came down on Loma. He just deserved no credit. Spence won't deserve much credit for beating Mikey either. Difference is, Mikey won a belt at 140. Rigo never even fought at 126.

    Very true but he was offered the fight at 126 and chose not to be great.

    As for Mikey at 140 I think we can all agree he looked like he'd maxed out at 140 and 147 would be a step to far.

    And Loma was offered to fight at 124, right down the middle and chose not to be great. Don't think there's any relevancy in that. Yeah, Spence doesn't deserve much credit for beating Mikey at 147. More than Loma beating a tiny and inactive Rigo moving 2 weight classes though.

    As Ward was with GGG but I for one never would expect a man who had never fought at such weight to be expected to (although in this case Ward said he'd go to 160 for Floyd and had in fact fought at 160 as a pro).

    Well it'll be a good scalp for Spence considering he's only beaten one live body in Brook and is vastly overhype P4P.

    @UnleashtheFURY @rorschach51 Funny how people like you never complain when someone like
    brings up race. But when someone calls out blatant racists who have these thoughts, they're playing victim :risas3:. This is the mindset of most pro-ee/anti black fans. At least he has the balls to come out and say it, instead of being sneaky about it.
