    What are Mikey's chances against Errol Spence, REALISTICALLY?

    Besides the significant size difference, does Errol Spence have any other tools that Mikey struggles with, or is Spence's ONLY advantage size?

    Mikey is definitely the more skilled, experienced, and versatile boxer. He's also more proven against top fighters, and has proven his skills are of the highest quality, and is a better P4P fighter.

    Errol on the other hand while skilled in his own right, isn't as polished, has some clear obvious flaws in the defense department, and isn't as proven or experienced as Mikey.

    I'm thinking this fight may be closer than most think.

    Erool mught just blow away Mikey, but I would not be surprised is Mikey boxes circles around him.

    This fight is more interesting than I first gave credit.

    Thoughts...

    I want Mikey to win but he literally needs to outbox him for 12 rounds which isn’t possible. I mean khan was outboxing Cinnamon rather easily but he can’t get caught. He definitely needs to fight one round at a time

    The more I think about it the more I start seeing Mikey with some kind of chance. At first I thought Mikey would get utterly destroyed and ruined (which is still a possibility) with no way of ever winning, but I think if Mikey fights a great fight he can possibly outbox and probably make Spence bleed a little.

    I still favor Spence but I'm not counting Mikey out, he is a much better boxer than Spence.

    Interesting, because I think Canelo is a superior fighter to Spence. Canelo is more versatile, he has an a very good jab, excellent timing, great body attack, uses feints very well, combination puncher, uses head movement, waist movement, shoulder roll.

    I also think Mikey is a superior fighter to Khan. Just does everything better minus the hand speed but makes up with it with timing and ring IQ.

    SO we're getting a Poormans version of Canelo vs a superior fighter to Khan.

    WAR!!!!:cursing:

    I wouldnt be suprised if Garcia hurts Spence .
    And i wouldnt be suprised if Spence steamrolls Garcia.
    Great match up and very much looking forward to seeing it .
    Alot of questions about both boxers that remain unanswered which makes it an interesting bout .

    He may very well be. Its a terrible shame we didn't get to see him fight Lomachenko.

    Nobody blows away mikey and nobody boxes circles around errol. These are 2 of the best 10 fighters in boxing. I like crawford over both but these are all competitive fights.

    The only thing canelo is superior to Spence is getting unfair advantages and being a weight bully, losing, and receiving gift dec.

    Win or lose I have the utmost respect for Garcia for taking this fight. People realize that but I don't it is being appreciated enough.

    That said, I don't think he stands a chance. Spence is just too big for him to deal with.
