Mikey Garcia says he wants Gamboa

I'm not putting anything on Mikey, actually I like the way he fights what u haven't c is that he was the mandatory for Gamboa and he was fighting bums instead of fighting Gamboa when he had the belt, the reason was because his handlers didn't want a part of Gamboa at that moment, actually the handlers of #1 and 2 were saying that their fighters were not ready, beside if he want it to fight him they were both with top rank, is not like Gamboa had any conflict back then, you are dreaming if you think Garcia can trash Gamboa just like some were dreaming when they thought his brother could trash Casamayor... PS. Why asking to fight him now that he is not in the division... Are you serious, Mikey was the 2010 Prospect of the year by ESPN and BoxingScene, but you knew that already. How was he supposed to fight Gamboa in 2010?

How do you lose chance to fight a Champion who doesn't have a belt or did you miss the part when JuanMa was in the ring after the Solis fight and said that they were fighting each other next. Or was it when Gamboa got locked up and didn't fight because of legal problems, as much I want to see Mikey trash Gamboa, I know that their schedules have conflicted each other, you on the other hand are trying your best to put this on Mikey like he ducked Gamboa, in that process your making yourself look extremely ignorant.

Garcia is better than most but I don't see him being up there with the elites. Make the fight happen!

El cyclone will put Mikey to sleep easy! Mikey is just like his brother rob. Just doesn't have enough to be elite.

Garcia will beat that ,Hypejob Gamboa, to a pulp!!!

You see what you want to see, there's no point in explaining how dirty boxing is and Arum is the King, do you really think Arum will let Mikey fight Gamboa, A potential low division Canelo in the making? Gamboa was under 10 lbs the next day so he make the IBF mandatory next day weight in, so my question is who would benefit from Gamboa's losing his belt without any explanation? Remember he just opted for not showing to the weight in and he made the weight, whether your like or not Mikey had his chance to fight him and they pass, it seems funny to me that he is opening his mouth when he knows Gamboa is not in his weight division any longer, unless he is planing to fight him at 130 lbs.

Arum stripped Gamboa of his title, not the IBF who has a mandatory next day weigh in, I guess Arum made Gamboa put his hands on his girl too, I guess Arum told Gamboa not to show up for the Rios fight too. Nothing is ever Gamboa's fault, got it. That hand picked fighter was Billy Dib, and the fight never fell through, so the IBF awarded Dib a chance on his next fight. You're trying real hard to put this on Team Garcia, but he's not the one getting arrested and he's not the one in contract disputes. Please tell me how Mikey is supposed to fight Gamboa, when Gamboa has the most unorganized team in boxing.

You are the stupid one, prior to the fight Garcia told reporters that his brother wasn't ready for Gamboa even thought he was the mandatory, everyone that follow boxing knows about this, the stripping thing was generated by Arum so Garcia could fight for the title against a hand picked fighter, he will never pit Mikey against a prime Gamboa just like he did or didn't do with Juanma, you guys can dream but Gamboa will mop the floor with Mikey after beating him up from pillar to post, they are not in the same zip code.

So he was a mandatory for a guy who didn't have a title, got it. You see how stupid you making yourself look.

Greatest? Nope. But the guy sure is P4P caliber and the only thing keeping him out of there is his inactivity. Meanwhile, Garcia is not even top 20. And as far as your comment is concerned about me being sold on Gamboa, it's true to certain extend. Who isn't besides you? The dude has faced the opposition and the skills to prove it. He also has won every fight CONVINCINGLY even when being KDed. But if you go back to a couple of my posts you will see me mentioning that I don't have very high hopes for Gamboa (which proves your "hugger" comment invalid once again) or Rigo ANYMORE. One has been inactive for over a year and the other one is 31 years old with only 12 fights and Top Rank is doing nothing to up his competition. Lara on the other hand, has the brighter future. He's 28-29 and has a very important fight in his career coming up. There are a lot of fighters that are p4p caliber that still take L's to less gifted fighters in the sport. I'm not denying Gamboa has physical ability, I simply stated that I thought Garcia could beat Gamboa and your immediate response was to trash Garcia, and that's fine, but when we're debating and you get all worked up, that lets me know where you stand about a particular fighter. Do you seem less bias in this last post; yes. But before that, you showed the symptoms of a hugger. And I do see where you're coming from on Rigo and his age and reluctance to step up in comp could very well be his demise, but again, I think there's more upside to an older, wiser boxer than there is to a physically gifted, loose cannon with a questionable chin. As for Lara... that dude is legit .

Gamboa does murk him. Badly.

The mere fact that you went out of your way to address a generalized post to further denigrate another fighter's résumé just to big up a fighter who doesn't have a résumé of their own to brag about makes it sound justified that you'd respond. I, too, have an affinity for the Cuban fighters, but I don't let that cloud my vision or sway my opinion on what I think would happen inside the ring. You're making Gamboa seem like he's p4p the greatest just because Garcia said he wants a crack at him. And to be honest, out of all the Cubans, Lara and Rigo have the finer tools and will make the most progress out of that bunch. But hey, if you're sold on Gamboa, that's cool. Greatest? Nope.

You're sounding pretty repetitive. But it's all good, I could careless. You're not the first and won't be the last. We all have fighters we defend. Cuban fighters are pretty limited so I have to back them up. There's also a pretty big difference between a supporter and a hugger as well. Im not going around making any of them look like the next P4P kings, highest sellers or trying to make them sound unbeatable.

Didn't know you were a hugger, I actually thought well of you as a poster before this thread. But you didn't, whose fault is that? Didn't realize you were so attached to Gamboa.

Not hard to look good vs next door neighbors. Just saying. :nutkick: Didn't know you were a hugger, I actually thought well of you as a poster before this thread.

Some huggers can't fathom the idea of this. Solid post. Not hard to look good vs next door neighbors. Just saying. :nutkick:

i dont even know what freaking division gamboa fights in anymore.... but i like Mikey Garcia takes this if it ever happens. GArcia is too well schooled, technically and fundamentally sound for a fighter like gamboa who has holes everywhere in his game and has been dropped because of this by lesser fighters. Some huggers can't fathom the idea of this. Solid post.

Micky wins this one easy as Gamboa pulls a "no show" during the press conference. The only way I can see Garcia winning TBH. :lol1:

When he fought Matt Remilland, if I remember correctly Gamboa fought Solis the same night on the same card, he was the IBF Champion and even thought he made the weight and was under 10lbs, he didn't went to the second weight-in, my guess he got pay for getting stripped and open the path for Garcia, in any case his brother stated that Mikey was not ready for Gamboa and now he knows he is not a 126lbs any more. So he was a mandatory for a guy who didn't have a title, got it. You see how stupid you making yourself look.

The fight could had been made a year ago, Garcia quoting his brother Robert "wasn't ready for Gamboa" and now El Ciclon is not longer at 126.
