    Spence has been VADA-tested twice. In both fights, he has looked average.

    Badly-drained Kell Brook with a defective face managed to take Spence into deep waters and many had him winning until his eye failed (Spence owes GGG a prime rib dinner).

    Then Spence threw close to 1,100 punches and couldn't hurt, drop, or stop a fat blown up lightweight that was barely throwing punches.

    Coincidence?

    Let him **** up Pac then and then the likes of you who push for the fights that will eventually break an ATG can cry your eyes out.

    Hasn't he been VADA tested other than those 2 fights?

    Those two matches are also the best competition he has ever had so it may have more to do with the opponent than the testing. Even with as highly as people rate Spence you have to remember he hasn't actually fought an elite fighter in his weight class with no asterisk beside it. You could easily argue the Golovkin fight damaged Brook too much to consider him the same guy that some people thought was the best at 147 at the time.

    You are reaching. Brook was arguably the top welter when Spence fought him, and Garcia's defense was on point. Hard to knock someone out when they are blocking really well. Mikey was beat on for 12 rounds, but his face wasn't all that messed up due to his top notch defense.

    He won 36 rounds on 3 scorecards against one person and the other person he broke their orbital socket, stopped them, and took their title. That's average?

    Exactly! Brook was a tough fight! Garcia is a top P4P guy. He will always put up a good showing.

    Do you think Mikey would survive 1,100 punches from Crawford?

    Way to leave out the fact that Brook went up to 160 and got his face caved in by GGG and then drained back down to 147 (a weight he's always killed himself to make).

    Spence was supposed to be a fearsome puncher. Surely with 1,100 punches thrown, he should have hurt, dropped, or stopped a blown up and fat lightweight? Who barely threw any punches?

    Considering it was his 5th division, against a big welter, yeah he did ok. Didn't embarrass himself and didn't get put to sleep! How many divisions have you won belts in the ranks of pro boxing?

    Mikey didn't try to win. He just came for the check.
