    If Mikey were to beat Spence, would it be a better win than Pacquiao's TKO victory over Cotto?

    Miguel Cotto
    • Proven elite fighter
    • Fought a who's who of 140/147 leading up to the Pac fight
    • Thunderous jab and hook to the ribs
    • Size over Pac
    Errol Spence
    • Best wins are war torn Algieri, shot PEDerson, and drained and broken Brook (who was schooling him before his previously tenderized face/eye socket gave out)
    • Elite body attack
    • Size over Mikey

    To be fair, Mikey's moving up. And no one's giving Mikey a shot either.

    Pac was favourite vs Cotto. Cotto got stopped by Marg a year earlier and had a super tough fight with Clottey too.

    That Cotto vs this Spence is a great match up and hard to call.

    But Spence has nowhere near the resume of Cotto.

    It would take Mikey demolishing Spence like Pac did on Cotto to even begin to compare.

    Since you felt that Alvarez was "drained" when he fought Mayweather at a weigh-in weight one pound less than his previous fight, Cotto was also "drained" when he fought Pac and Pac's victory is diminished. A Garcia win over Spence clearly would be superior.

    Spence is better than Cotto was and is unbeaten and has been clearly better than everyone he`s fought, I think you`re all underrating the Brook win and Spence has improved since then he`s got a more active guard, Horn`s active guard gave Manny problems, Spence is harder to hit than Cotto was.

    Who's moving up to 168?

    Drugnelo is a much bigger fighter than Cotto.

    One fight has nothing to do with another.
