    Yeah that’s the best match up for both men, it’s a 50-50 and with that name Loma becomes p4p no.1 and Mikey breaks into the top 3.

    In the first part of the sentence you try to doubt, but in the second you actually agree with me, don't you? :)

    Weren’t you saying that Mikeys style is tailor made for beat Errol? Coz i don’t agree with that, however his lack of size will let him down. P4P wise Mikey has the more impressive skill set of the two but the disparity in size will be the difference ultimately.

    dont like this fight right now. 2 of my favorite fighters and one has to take an l, probably mikey. i think both are equally talented at what they do, but spence is too strong for guys his size, never mind a guy fighting 2 divisions below. i would rather see mikey clean up 135 and 140, maybe beat up danny or keith in between, and then take on a spence or a crawford.
    i think only spence can beat garcia at 147, crawford a slight favorite, and everyone else comes up short. crawford beats everyone but spence. spence will clean up jr middle in 3 years.

    Stupid fight for mikey, it’s just Brook vs golovkin all over again.

    No. I meant tailor made to lose to Errol. :) Mikey is not a runner, he has great timing but his power was not that impressive at 140 and it will be even less at welterweight. So I don't understand how Mikey can win against Errol Spence Jr.
    I'm sure Robert doesn't understand that either, :D so he will talk Mikey out of this crazy idea. That's if Mikey really wants it and not is just bluffing to get some publicity.

    Spence is too strong
    Mikey takes a beating worse than Salido gave him

    This would be a terrible fight. Spence would decimate Mikey.
    Can't believe this is even being taken seriously.

    Spence isn't just a boxer, he's a stalking, mauling, hard hitting
    monster that cuts the ring off well. He's done this against much
    bigger men. he beats people to the body then head.

    Mikey is a great boxer puncher, but I think the Kell fight showed
    that nothing Mikey lands is gonna stop Spence's forward progress. And
    Mikey can move but he can't do that for 12 rounds against someone who's gonna
    dedicate to body work. Not someone that much bigger. If Mikey were fighting
    someone like Paulie M. at WW, I'd say he'd be in a good position as it's someone
    who'd try to box with him and poses no physical danger, even against Broner, he was fighting a guy who wasn't
    very big, wasn't active and only fought in spots and Mikey was allowed to take his time.
    With Spence, it's like a high tide coming in. The punches and pressure will be
    consistent and won't stop and he's not big enough to absorb that for a hard 12.
    It's foolhardy in my opinion. Mikey has already reached the size maximum for
    his skillset to overcome a size differential.

    If Pacquiao was 32-35 years old and full-time active, he would be expected to fight Spence. Mikey is bigger than Pacquiao and if you ask anyone on here, is also more skilled and harder hitting.

    Mikey should chase greatness (and actually fulfill one of his call-outs).

    Oh you just mean he is gunna lose? In that case I agree. Mikey is becoming delusional, if he really is gunna take on Spence then it’s a suicide mission. He will get dispatched, I don’t know what he is thinking but right now I think he is full of ****. He has called out a lot of big names but very few of the top fights ever come in to fruition.

    I don't like this fight for Mikey he will get blown out. I much rather him move back down to 135 and fight Loma which is a bigger and better fight.

    I agree it’s a complete miss match, but one thing your wrong about is fact mikey don’t like boxing boxer’s who move and are fluid guy loves a come forward brawler, but Spence has got skills like you say, if mikey takes this fight it’s just a clear cash out.
