    Fair play to him if it's not all smoke and mirrors

    Too few dare to be great fighters in this era.

    What has he seen in Spence that makes him want him. I cant see how it ends well.

    Thoughts?

    As CST said, Mikey gets beaten up.

    It won't happen though IMHO, Mikey chased old Cotto, got offered the fight, then his team stopped him taking that risk. In the end Sadam Ali got the fight instead, and we know how that ended. Spence is far more risky and for a lesser reward ... Can't see his team allowing it even though Mikey himself is serious.

    if it's legit he wants to fight him he must see something and he knows boxing more than I do so I have no reason to doubt him

    Its
    maybe it's just publicity?
    I'm a big Garcia fan, obviously without the massive size difference he would completely outclass Spence.

    I'd prefer Mikey stay in 135-140 for a lil longer. Spence is gonna move up soon & get exposed

    Why didn't Garcia find Crawford at 140?

    I don't see it happening. I think a dog fight against Easter is going to bring him back to reality.

    Exposed as what? Truly elite fighters don't ever get exposed. When they lose they lose to the better fighter.

    Right now there isn't a better fighter in boxing to have a shot at beating him.

    You just exposed yourself at a troll

    This must be one of those outer body experiences where in his most perverse ducking of Lomo, he goes for the biggest fish he can find even though he knows he will get his head decapitated its still better in his mind than facing Lomo. Excuse the run-on lol.

    I'd rather see Garcia work on securing a fight with Crawford than this mismatch against Spence where Mickey will get beaten convincingly
