Mikey Garcia, four-division world titlist who’s lone career loss came to Errol Spence Jr.

“Danny Garcia will be competitive and have his moments, but Errol Spence will box more effectively and win by a decision.”

Keith Thurman, former world champion who beat Danny Garcia

“Danny Garcia is the biggest puncher I’ve faced in my entire professional career. Danny’s got great timing and a chip on his shoulder from losing two close fights to myself and Shawn Porter … So Errol Spence better not let him land one of those bricks. But styles make fights, and my gut says Spence wins without a home run being hit by Garcia.”

Andre Berto, three-time welterweight champion

“Errol Spence’s confidence is going to be sky-high after battling back from everything he’s gone through. But at the same time, it’s the accident that’s going to cost him in the ring against Danny Garcia. Both guys are going to come out swinging and tire themselves out, but Danny’s going to bring it early and often to make Errol prove he’s fully recovered in a donnybrook. My man Garcia’s going to keep punching, and then, you know — blammo! Garcia by fifth-round knockout.”
