    Mikey fighting at a weight way above where he belongs against possibly the best at that weight and not winning a round does not make me rate him any less, no. His past accomplishments haven't suddenly eroded.

    Khan and Brook did not outbox Canelo and GGG, Spence is not as skilled as those two.

    Mikey is nowhere near Floyd`s level, he`s really basic.

    but he is, mark. every bit as good. ive been saying for 2 years hes that good. ive been saying nobody beats spence at 147 for that long too, i gave mikey a chance because hes my favorite fighter, but ive always known how talented a boxer spence really is.
    3 days ago, you didnt know spence could box. sort out the clues.

    That's what I saw, he looked heavy and flat footed. What else would you expect from a lower weight guy without a long frame putting on weight?. I thought he should have went after Loma at 135

    What's your definition of Elite first?

    Can’t argue with this.

    As a general rule, the majority of my P4P list. Basically a world class fighter that perhaps just has the edge over other world class fighters.

    He’s jumped 5 weight classes in his time, holding multiple world titles. If you want to truly know your limit you have to break it.

    He’s elite. He’s just not in that tier of special fighters, like Pac, Mayweather etc.

    Both Floyd and Manny would have toyed with Garcia.

    I don’t know about no where near, Garcia probably had the best chance of beating Lomachenko at 135 imo.

    Edit - I’d still pick Lomachenko to win though.
