    I thought he was elite before the fight and since it went about as I expected, I haven't changed my mind.

    Spence is probably just a level above anyone Pac or Floyd faced at WW.

    He has no chance from the start because he is slow. But I give him credit for being able to withstand against Spence power. I thought Spence would knock him out cold. And there are several times Mikey pulled a perfectly timed counter. I must say his punch timing is probably the best in the world. He lost because his opponent is too big. And yes, he is still an elite. Him vs Loma, bring it on !

    You were only rooting for him so that it Garcia wins then Pacquiao can get an easy payday by beating a blown up lightweight smh.

    Yes he's still elite he lost to a bigger man who's also elite. Mikey's stock didn't drop in my eyes i expected him to get stopped. He's still ranked in my top 10 p4p fighters list.

    People starting underestimating Spence. I know for a fact that Mikey did. He learned in the ring that Errol is the truth.

    The only reason he was not knocked out yesterday is because of his elite level survival skills.

    Because he lost every second. Khan and Brook had moments against Canelo and Golovkin. García simply isn’t elite, never was, never will be. He’s a simple plodder, an all round average fighter with good fundamentals.

    Mikey is elite. Hr's an elite 135 pounder, and looked like a possibly elite 140 pounder. He just fought Spence. Spence would have beaten Mikey last night if they were both 5'9 and the same weight in the ring. Mikey was closer to Spence in size, than Rigo was to Loma, comparatively.

    Of course mikey is elite everyone new this fight was a bad idea and said as soon as it was announced. Mikey wanted to test his self and get paid.
    Now if he cant beat loma then the elite question is answered

    There is absolutely no way he can go back down to 135 and not be deathly drained. He was drained before.

    You habitually do and they are never true. You're just an idiot.
