    I'd agree with this. Thurman would spend a tremendous amount of time moving away from Spence and Spence would walk him down. Spence isn't wide with his shots like Danny "Windmill" Garcia so he'd land on Thurman and wouldn't be as available for counter punches.

    Hard not to rank Mikey highly. He has an outstanding offensive skillset.

    It's a shame that Canelo dominates the hype among Mexican fighters, when hardcores know that P4P Mikey is a much better fighter than Shitnelo.

    Mickey is a mexican american. He will never get loved by mexican fans (and even mexican americans retardly enough) as much as they love a mexican fighter

    Spence is legit, Crawford is a Packers fan, and little Gervonta is pre-divorce JuanMa Lopez 2.0

    It's far from hyperbole, you simp.

    Mikey's a much better fighter than Canelo.

    Perhaps but calling Alvarez..."shitnelo" is a bit much. Canelo is obviously a good fighter. You're only hating on him because he's popular.

    If Alvarez looked like Margarito he'd get more love from hardcore fight fans. He's hated for his red hair and freckles lol

    I give the Ginger more credit than a lot of his detractors do. I mean, I picked him to beat Cotto, when most Canelo haters claimed Cotto would whip him.

    Canelo's a quality fighter but Mikey's a much better technician with more dimensions.

    The difference in footwork between the two is huge.

    I agree that Garcia is a better fighter.

    Agreed on Garcia, he has to be top 5 P4P at least.

    He can just fight - solid, skilled, patient, good timing and accuracy, and no glaring weakness.

    This.

    I see Davis on his way to making the same career mistake Zab did which is competing at too high a weight relative to his size. Davis is going to outgrow lw because he has no discipline and it appears he is lifting weights and bulking up which is just idiotic given his height.

    If he goes to 140 or god forbid 147 he's going to be at a huge disadvantage because of his height and like with Judah it's going to limit his success.

    Did you guys hear what Davis said when he didn't make weight? They offered him the chance to work off the couple pounds and he said "nah, I'm good". Sounds just like what a Mayweather mixed with today's millennials would say.
