    A recent example of this at HW was Hammer vs Povetkin.

    Wow! You guys are really harsh. I didn't realize that you are all a bunch of Einsteins. Some of us are actually fans of the sport and fighters and when we next choose incorrectly due to bias we will consider how ridiculously smart you know-it-alls are and how we should truly humble ourselves. Maybe we DKSAB, but I'd rather know nothing about boxing than believe I'm above reproach. Have a great day!

    Lol I think it's you that's being unfair,ain't nothing wrong going with your heart but there is bigger picture here which Paulie M jumped on after Khan v Canelo and that's to with jumping weight classes as though they were nothing.In his opinion and my own it's PEDs that has probably been the cause of this and even then it rarely if ever works.
    Don't take on so,it's only us sharing our opinions on a forum.

    Yes good call,Malik Scott against Ortiz was another.Fury could of done something similar against Wilder but oddly enough his stock rose from beating the count.
    Thing is with Mikey and Robert Garcia whom I have great respect for I never truly believed in what they were saying about Spence.Boxing is a game of pounds and inches,such was the manner of defeat you'd have to say any fight at welter weight would prove too much as he wasn't physically in it at any time.

    Certain posters pick on a criteria that has nothing to do with boxing. That won't change anytime soon.

    People get caught up in the hype. A guy with Mikey's pedigree and record had a shot but it was a very long shot, like maybe he caught an inattentive Spence with a left hook coming in. That was about the only way Mikey wins this fight. But he was never going to outpoint Spence.

    Very true, brother. :beer-toast1: I just thought it was a little extreme so I responded with extremity, which is never the answer. Lol.

    For sure, man! It's all good. It's a shame it wasn't a better fight though. Next time I will check my heart with my head, or so I say now.

    Spencer's stock just went rapidly down in my book. He has always been so overrated after beating a broken Kell brook who was actually out boxing him in the fight. This fight should not have gone longer than five rounds and Garcia is not elusive at this weight at all. Only way for Spence to redeem himself is to take on canelo ggg or even crawford.

    What are you talking about? Canelo and GGG are much bigger than Spence. Spence just dispensed a 39-0 fighter. Who gives a **** whether he KO'd him. Mikey was on defense the whole fight and didn't win a single round. Spence dominated him. Perfect fight by Spence. He didn't get caught up the ego BS that so many guys on this site are caught up in.

    yep absolutely and it wasn't Spence who talked up this fight anyway.I will say though on the back of beating Brook in the UK(who else does this?)he's had an easy ride through no fault of his own as Thurman ran a mile and Porter and Garcia likewise,his next fight has to be one of Porter,Thurman or Crawford as time isn't on his side at the weight.
    let's hope if Crawford finishes Khan off that we see these two make that fight as it's never gonna get any bigger by waiting imo.
    suppose if we had a scenario where Spence and Crawford could snag those other belts off Porter and Thurman next then that could make it more worthwhile but it would have to happen soon.

    PBC is so inbred, it was probably agreed that Spence could pound that ass too hard.
