    Says alot of his power which is over rated, still only beaten one decent fighter in Brook who was dead at 147 too..

    When will Spence fight a real 147 top guy??

    Thurman, Porter, Manny, Garcia, Khan, Crawford...

    When..?

    Manny will do better than Garcia and Crawford hits harder than Spence. Khan would not be able to take the punishment that Garcia took though.

    Ya was a bit surprised Spence wasn't able to close the show. Garcia you need to go back down in weight, maybe this fight will make some of the other top guys get in the ring with Spence hopefully not Manny. I'd imagine Spence wont have to much problem finding an opponent now!

    Khan can box and move, and is same size and faster than Spence .

    Spence needs to fight Crawford vs Khan winner..

    Wanna see Thurman vs Spence

    That's true. This fight proves Spence can beat a very good smaller guy coming up to 147. I like him, but he's still unproven.

    You had an apparently elite fighter that was going to trouble Spence, lose every round. Spence did what he was meant to do, the only loser there was García and people who thought this was going to be a competitive fight. Mikey showed up to survive and cash out, that’s it.

    Khan has not been relevent at all for at least the last 5 years. I think todays version of Manny get's stopped in 8 against Spence. Doesn't have the pace to keep up with Spence and his extra movement and feinting won't stop Spence ploughing forward.

    @Darni187

    You can't put Khan in that list as a top 147 fighter.. Khan is the only fighter in that list NOT to win a world title at 147 and he has been at the weight 5 years plus..

    Khan is not a top fighter any more.. let it go my friend,

    It would have been better if he was knocked out or the fight stopped. Mikey paid a terrible price and the damage has yet to be assessed.

    Khan is unbeaten at 147, also April 20th will show where Khan belongs in the division..

    Can you explain how Khan is considered a "real 147 top guy" or even a "top guy"?

    Khan is unbeaten at 147, before losing to Canelo Khan was ranked WBC No.1 for 2 years but Floyd fought Maidana 2x and Berto lol

    Believe it or not, but Garcia was also unbeaten at 147 coming into the fight. I know on April 20th we'll see that Khan no longer belongs in boxing.

    His hand speed is the problem.
