    Garcia showed 0 signs that he was the more skilled fighter. I said as much before the fight, Garcia's best win is Broner. To prove your skill, there is only one way of doing it, beat better fighters. Garcia has never done that.

    Of course size was a factor, size compliments boxing skills. It may look like Spence has great footwork, timing and distance control, but it's a whole lot easier to control the distance when you have 4 inches height and reach advantage over them.

    Garcia never had any real speed. People were hyped into believing that he had speed even after watching his previous fights. Only a fool rejects the evidence of their own mind.
