no doubt mikey is far more skill than lucas, but mikey's power at 140+ is not a threat to any of the ww. if mikey cant even hurt broner, lipinets and easter then he's not hurting manny.
let's stop it with the whole pac's chin is gone. mikey will not be able to hurt manny. if anything, it will be the other way around. mikey's power is overrated.
marquez had to knock manny out in order to beat him and it also took him 4 shots at it. and marquez almost got knocked out himself during the process. i dont think mikey is built the same as marquez.
That Manny is not what will fight Garcia, gee Mikey held his own with Manny in his prime as kid.
Personally I believe Manny is not near what he was and put in now with a genuine top liner that's hungry and in form and Manny will look like he did against Rios Algieri Horn etc
Against a shot slow punching bag thats scared to engage is going to make you look like superman and that's what was ment to happen in the LucasM fight.
if this fight happens, im betting the house on pacman!
i've said this before and i'll say it again, mikey doesnt have the movements, counter punching and power to trouble manny at all.
I think you going to be surprised that the Lucas M Manny cannot do the same thing in this fight. Garcia is deceptively accurate and we will see the Manny that struggled in a bunch of his previous fights, LM was a made to order showcase, this is 2 grades higher.
Been watching a lot of Mikey fights... he referenced having to be smart and counter and noted Morales 1 and the JMM fights... he would have to eat a lot of punches to land. As he's not elusive enough like Floyd.
Interesting match up. Tactical.
gtfoh. Mikey has never rocked any welterweights. I have respect for Mikey, but there's no way he would "kill" Pacquiao.
I understand you have deep admiration for Mikey but at the very least...you gotta respect the weight classes. If there's a hierarchy, that's one of them that you have to respect.

You are talking to a poster who picked Vanes to beat GGG there FYI.
It’s truly pathetic that Mikey has pretended he wants Spence all along with no intention of actually following through with it. People fell for it too.
The fight is just a talked about maybe and not a done deal. I don't get excited about maybe fights because they usually don't happen. Again too much talk about Mikey moving up TWO FULL WEIGHT CLASSES. He is just as big as Pacquiao. He won a world title at 140 so he is only moving up one weight class and we all know Pacquiao isn't a real welterweight. Mikey weighed 149 pounds on fight night for Easter and that's almost exactly the same as the 150 pounds Pacquiao usually weighs for welterweight fights. I think Pacquiao knocks him out if the fight happens. It's a great fight if it happens and I think either man has a good chance to win.
