Looking at his boxrec record, he was 130lbs when he made his debut when 19 years old. Mayweather was 130lbs at the same age.
As we all know, Mayweather fights at 147lbs now.
In a Sechbach interview I saw of his where he said he finds boxing too easy, it sounded like he wasn't too keen on jumping up to 147. He was asked about 140-147 and he said "maybe" 140. It sounded like he didn't want anything to do with 147 and barely considered 140. I think that if he feels boxing is too easy, with his logic, he should move up to 147 where he'd get plenty of, let's just say non easy opponents.
I can see him being at 140 in maybe 3-4 years, if his skill is true then I can see him fighting the right opponent at 147.
He's got a 3" reach advantage over Manny, who was a former flyweight.
Per Dan Rafael, Top Rank is eyeing an eventual Pacquiao vs. Garcia fight at 147 with hopes of "passing the torch" to Garcia as a PPV attraction. That is funny on a few levels, but stranger things have happened. Yeah I saw that. Arum wants to make the fight 140 at the end of the year.
Garcia already is a 140 lber he struggles to make weight and has to cut down he will eventually be forced to fight at 140 its coming soon watch and see
Has a decent reach, but he doesn't look like he could fill out that much to me.
Look at Danny. He's got the body type that can fill out, and even then, his max is probably 147.
I just couldn't picture a blown up Mikey Garcia doing anything to guys like Garcia, Matthysse, Thurman, Bradley, Pac, Ruslan, Rios. None of them.
Mikey Garcia already beat Danny Garcia in the amateurs, it's possible.

lol even an old shot KO'ed multiple times Pac would ice Mikey Garcia

well, his conditioning coach, Ariza, says he can go up to 147 because he has the frame and work ethic to do so :dunno: he compared him to Manny in that regard in one of elie's videos.
Why do you guys think 140 is reaching. He was puking and passing out when he fought juanma he came in at 128, only 2 pounds from 130. Hell stay at 135 for a while he's still young he can't kill himself forever
He maybe could make 140, but he'd be a small 140 lber. I believe Mikey rehydrates to the low 140s. I suppose with some weight lifting, he could put on enough muscle to get up to 140 or 147.
