    He is talkinga bout moving up to 154. The question is will he fight Spence. I would love to see it.

    I'm not sure Mikey carried his power up to 140, so I'm certainly not convinced that he will carry it to 147. Spence isn't just bigger than Mikey. He would also be the most technically sound fighter that Mikey ever fought.

    The only real question regarding Spence is whether he can take a good punch from a heavy hitter (which is why some think he has been mostly matched with light punchers), and I don't think Garcia tests him in that regard. I see it as a bridge too far for Mikey, but I will give him props for daring to be great if the fight comes off.

    Forget bigger... Spence is a better fighter than Mikey.

    God forbid the dude having ambitious goals...I think Spence wrecks him but not sure why some of ya'll are so upset, it's not you getting your ass beat.

    That's not really accurate...it may prove to be true long term but as it stands today I don't buy that.

    Mikey called out:
    • Pacquiao
    • Lomachenko
    • Crawford
    • Spence
    • Cotto
    • Garcia
    • Thurman
    • Linares
    Mikey fought:
    • Zlaticanin
    • Broner
    • Lipinets
    Mikey is fighting:
    • Easter
    There's a history of calling dudes out and then fighting other guys. Had he stayed w/ Top Rank, he was guaranteed to get Pacquiao/Lomachenko/Crawford. He could have fought Linares in a one fight deal. He could have fought Cotto and Linares as a package deal.

    Mikey wouldn't even be competitive with Spence TBQH.
    Hubris will bite you square in the ass and Mikey seems
    to have an abundance of it.

    If you're gonna go up in weight, you don't go up against a killer.
    He's gonna up against a stalker that beats people down to the
    body and head? Nah, he's selling wolf tickets and I'm not buying.

    He is 5′ 6″ feet tall that say all you need to know and I can say that he will get beaten at 147 or 154 if he will face the best because he fights as a slugger and is too small for these weights.

    Spence has one top level W opponent in Brook and perhaps Peterson.

    I'll say no for now.

    He needs to stop running and fight Lomachenko.

    All talk.

    Mikey is one of those dudes who brags about banging supermodels and the next week you see him at a bar making out with a tranny and a midget.
