Why doesn't Mikey Garcia get crap for fighting where he does???

4Corners

All I see on here is how Donaire picks on smaller fighters at 118 and than 122, and that he beats small guys. Or how Broner should be at 140 and no lower than that.

But yet, Mikey Garcia comes into the ring as a JWW/WW, I believe he was a little over 140 lbs against Barros last week on fight night. And I don't hear anyone saying Mikey Garcia is fighting 3 weight classes smaller than he should be.

Why is that???

Rios got crap for fighting 2 weight classes smaller than he was. Chavez gets crap for fighting 2 weight classes smaller than he should. I've yet to hear anyone bring this up with Mikey Garcia, or even another current Featherweight like Orlando Salido, who is a big Featherweight.

Mikey isn't controversial or polarizing so posters on NSB don't really say anything about him.

He comes in that heavy?
Did they show it before the fight?
Did not know that....

He was over 140. I think he was 141 lbs.

He's not a small guy. I mean he's 5'6'' with a 70'' reach, he looks like a JWW to me.

Even Salido, who I like, he's a damn big Featherweight too.

If you make the contracted weight at the weigh in I don't see why it would be controversial to come in so much heavier. This has been happening for years.

Coming so heavy never guarantees victory. It is an advantage though

Wow.... view him a little differently now. I still like him though

Just wondering why people bring it up with Donaire, Broner, Chavez, Rios, etc. And not with Mikey Garcia. The guy comes into the ring as a JWW/WW.

I don't have a problem with it, I think if you make weight, you're good to go. But there's some on here who have a problem with it, but I'm just wondering why those people never bring it up with Mikey Garcia.

Nothing. As long as you make weight, your good. No athlete is my hero. Those spots are taken by my father, and others like Dr. King. But I mean, it could be different for you.

But there's people on here who bring it up with Donaire, Rios, Broner, Chavez, all fighting is weight classes they supposedly shouldn't be in. But no one brings it up with Garcia, even though he comes into the ring as a JWW/WW.
