this kid can fight man! not to much flash but big time skills. i think he can have a career just as good as rios and margareto and i respect both guys but i have a feeling mikey is going to be a special fighter

On any given night, I think he can beat all four champions. John: he's a champion by robbery (against Marquez) who went life and death against Juarez; Salido: he's tough but limited, Gonzalez: solid skills but no chin; Dibb: I haven't seen much of him so I can't comment; Gamboa: he's a great talent but has a suspect chin as well.

Garcia is good, but Gamboa and Salido will be tough for him IMO. John is irrelevant because he wouldn't ever step in the ring with Gamboa, Garcia, Salido, or Lopez. I think Garcia should fight the winner of Salido Lopez II. If he wins that fight then Gamboa.

Agree, except that Salido might not be so tough for Mikey just based on that last fight. I haven't seen the fight, but wonder if years of walking through punches finally caught up with him.

You should watch the fight, it was pretty entertaining. Salido got reckless and was caught with a good left hook that really hurt him but he weather the storm and came back strong. IMO Salido stops Lopez again. Garcia has never been in the ring with someone like Salido. Im not saying he can't win but it will be tough for him. Salido has fought Marquez, Guerrero, Gamboa, and Lopez and he technically only has 1 win out of all of those fights, but to his credit none of those fights were easy for any of those fighters.

No doubt, but one thing that made him so tough was his great chin, I wonder if still has it, still looked good against Juanma. I'll check out the last fight, thanks for the rec.
