As with a lot of fights you'll get a degree of both probably, being wrong does that to boxing fans . But barring some shady judges or some fiasco should Mikey pull it off he deserves every bit of respect and praise as the phenomenal fighter that he is. Both are that regardless. No excuses. It's more likely to be said that two division jump from 135 was just too much and it's not the first time it was learned the hard way.

It's the kind of fight, where both fighter's stock can rise depending on how hard the loser tries and what adversity the winner faces to get his hands raised. That said Spence MD.

It would mean Mikey is far far far and away the number 1 fighter in the sport right now. He would be a 40-0, a 5 division champion who has unified previously and is only 31 years old. Rare air. But unlikely

If Garcia had kept his power and looked as impressive as he moved through the weights as he did at the lower weights then you could make more of a case for him. But he hasn't looked anywhere near as impressive recently and I don't think the extra weight is going to do him any favours either. A lot of fights over the years where somebody moves up like this and is fighting an actual live body, not an Oscar-Manny kind of fight, they take a few heavy punches in the first few rounds and then spend the rest of the fight trying to make it to the final bell with as little damage as possible. If Garcia had kept his power then maybe he could have made a dent in Spence and kept him honest but I have a feeling Spence is just going to walk through whatever is coming at him. There's a massive size and strength difference here.

I think the multi divisional title collectors are over stated nowadays. Especially when they grab and vacate right off. But should the stars align for Mikey this trinket has tremendous substance in that it's over the best in division and immediately one ups Arum and Crawford who were seen v Spence as the mega fight 147 needed.

No doubt that the opponent matters far more than the 5th division. A person could pick their way through 6 divisions without the talent to rule 1.
