So where does Mikey Garcia rank already amongst...

It's too early to tell how he ranks compared with all the great Mexican American boxers of the past. I think he is very athletic and I don't see that holding him back from greatness. If he can beat Loma that would be a huge win for him.

I would have him 5-10, probably. You would want to see him in with someone truly elite before you put him any higher. Quite frankly jumping up in weight as he has is impressive physically because he has carried the power, speed, etc, but nowadays it doesn't really hold nearly as much weight. It is more important to fight and beat top quality. He has at the moment beaten good fighters, decent world champions, nothing more, nothing less. To me Linares is the next logical step, again someone who is very good, but still not that TOP guy that is missing from his record, but certainly a step up. I expect him to take Linares out, possibly early. The fights that are going to define Mikey are guys like Lomachenko and Crawford. If I was him, I would be gunning for Lomachenko - because to me Crawford is all wrong for him. I think Crawford shuts him out, which would be a bit soul destroying to see a fighter of Garcia's capability get totally shut down.

#1 can't nobody fvck with him right now
