    Yes and regardless of spence not a p4p fighter i still think he's a bigger win than benevidez and pedraza plus no one gives mikey a chance against him which increases the glory should he win.

    You people say he isn’t aren’t really giving valid reasons. Spence is simply a better win than anything Usyk, Loma or Crawford has in their resume. Who have any of these three fighters beat to be considered p4p number 1 yet you question Mikey beating Spence in his 5th weight class? LOL

    If Mikey were to beat Spence then Mikey would have wins over 3 undefeated champions in 3 separate weight classes in a row, when was the last time that’s ever been done?

    He also has a win over the only guy who beat Loma, there’s simply no excuse not having him as p4p number 1 unless you’re a hater.

    nobody is upset, what you write often makes no sense, and ive corrected you on numerous occasions so you dont derail the convo.
    you suggest only beating a p4p #1 would be logical, do you even know who previous p4p #1 fighters had to beat... i bet you dont, just talking ass.

    He would undoubtedly move straight into no.1 - I don't see how it could be disputed.

    If Spence looses, Mikey would have done it through pure skill cos we all know he ain't gonna be able to manhandle Spence. P4P is mostly skill and how well you can adapt to overcome any opponent, with resume factoring in also. Spence is a dangerous fighter and is an underrated boxer and we all can somewhat agree that Spence is being actively avoided by the current 147 champs. So a win over Spence through tactics and skill definitely pushes him into no.1, plus wins over Broner and Easter (solid title holders) plus Spence pushes him over the top.

    GRJ, Walters, Rigo, Linares. Taking zeros, breaking records. Those are great wins.
    Spence has Brook and...

    Agreed, as long as the circumstances aren't a terrible robbery or the result of Spence being injured somehow. Cotto vs Martinez would have been historic too if Martinez could stand on both legs.

    That's likely but really it depends on the fight itself. Definitely a huge step up for Mikey who is already in the top 5 or close.
