    If Mikey wins, where does this leave him in the P4P ranking? Top 5 for me without a doubt.

    I like Mikey but his too small for this. The size difference on fight night will be huge. Spence will break him down and stop him inside 8 rounds.

    Garcia won't have enough pop to stop Spence and will get killed with body shots.

    It is extremely difficult to argue with that to be honest. A 4 weight world champion over 5 weight would have to dislodge Loma even given the amount of fights he has done it in.

    Hard to bet against Spence simply owing to size. You'd have to think Garcia would have insisted on a rehydration clause on this though surely?

    For comparative purposes, how would people see Garcia v Brook? IMO Brook made Spence look pretty average until his weight-drained body failed him and allowed Spence to start picking him off.

    Hard to see anything but a fairly comfortable UD (116-112 like) for Spence, but props to Garcia for taking this. Wins it and he has to be P4P#1. For Spence, if he's as good as people seem to think he is, he's got to be looking to destroy the much smaller man.

    what do you mean the amount of fights hes done it in? if mikey beats spence, he will have won titles in 5 different divisions, all in the span of 10 fights. his record, which most so called boxing fans barely notice, would be one of the greatest runs ever in the history of the sport. he needs 1 more fight to do it and FANS of BOXING, have to be beat over the head to notice... i know, ive been beating all the heads around here.

    He has had 12 pro fights, which happens to be a record.

    yes, and you stated it like mikey had nothing on that, which i am pointing out that he easily matches it, or rather surpasses it. how impressed have you been with mikey before last week?

    The IBF have rehydration limit already in place. Still though Spence is gonna be huge compared to Garcia on the night. Can only see Spence winning due to size.

    Brook too big for Garcia also.

    Apologies - completely disregarded the fact it was for the IBF.

    Why is this match in the AT&T Stadium? It holds 100K, surely they won't sell more than 35K tickets for this?

    gotcha. im just so used to having to explain to people who call themselves boxing fans, how special mikey is, that its becoming a habit. you would think that someone who is a fan of the sport, would recognize when someone is separating themselves in class, but then, its probably not boxing that they are really a fan of, its just a coincidental situation.
