Which fighters that moved up in weight in the past did better than Garcia did v Spence?

A lot

Harry Greb
Duran
Joe walcott
SRR
Arguello
Fighting Harada
Ezzard Charles
Jimmy Wilde

To name a few

 

I'm sorry mate, but this is just another pointless thread.

Seriously, why don't you think before you post?

There's tons of examples of smaller guys moving up and beating or coming close to beating bigger guys. But that's because although they were giving up physical advantages, they had other attributes which could fill the void.

Mikey Garcia didn't have any attributes that gave him an advantage.

He had nothing.

He was giving up:

Height
Reach
Weight
Strength
Power
Speed
Skills

It was a mountain to climb.

He had absolutely nothing going in his favour.

 

Plenty....

 

Holyfeild
Langford
Charles
Robinson
Mayweather
Pacquiao
Ffs even Loma did better

 

I agree.

There's tons.

But it's just a pointless thread.

The guys you listed had advantages in other areas, to compensate for being outsized.

Mikey Garcia had none.

He had no advantages whatsoever.

At least guys like Loma and Floyd had advantages in skills, speed and reach etc.

 

Thomas Hearns did better than most and does not get the credit. He won the light heavyweight title 2 times after winning the welterweight title. He even won a sort of title at Cruiserweight. He outboxed Virgil Hill in 1991 who was undefeated and had 10 title defenses. People seem to forget this.
