    Spence will prove he’s special at 154 and 160.
    I’ll take crawford over anybody at 147 right now.

    He’s never stopped a guy with Mikey’s skill

    Kahn sucks and brook brawled. Mikey levels better then you are giving him credit for being.

    Mikey is a special fighter. He just bit off more than he could chew and challenged a special fighter that was significantly bigger than him. People say he didnt take chances against Spence. Its not that, Spence didn't allow him to take chances.

    He doesn't LOOK special to me to be honest. But I like him and, at the end, what matters most is your record. As far as eye test, there's nothing extraordinary about him though.

    Sorry, but stupid statement. You take chances by OPENING UP AT THE RISK OF GETTING CAUGHT/KNOCKED OUT. Spence didn't not let Mikey throw punches.

    Yes he did. He stayed just out of range for Mikey to throw/open up and constantly peppered him with sharp combos.

    Couldnt put it better and agree with all points as usual. I can't understand how he doesnt pass the eye test for some people.

    Floyd Mayweather was a special fighter. He can not be duplicated.

    I would say Spence is on his way to being thought of as a special fighter.

    Spence has very good boxing fundamentals, a relentless offensive attack, a true 12 round engine and a good chin. At times he reminds me of what Marvin Hagler might have looked like at 147.
