In an ideal world I’d like to see him face Mikey or Tank but I just don’t think they’re realistic options.
Realistically, I’d say Commey/Lopez winner, then Berchelt and Valdez at 130.
Also, if he fights again this year, who’s available for Dec?
For a place that was supposed to beef him up I dont even think they did a good job.
He wasnt noticeably bigger anywhere, other than his gut, and he didnt have any more speed or power. Probably even less.
Consider too that Mikey was saying how sore he was and how grueling the workouts are and that prior to that he only ever jogged and boxed he should have blown up easy in size.
But he didnt. For a guy who is close in size to myself Mikey is one tiny guy and despite the fact he had over half a year to train for that fight the results of SNAC were pretty poor.
Was at SNAC for about a month, he himself said his focus was power. They had him running outside in one of those bane masks as well. I mean considering even at lower weights Mikey looked sloppy, I will go ahead and lend that to genetics more than anything. Who knows but they stressed the muscle focus and even Robert was asked whether it would impact his handspeed and he said no he's still explosive but with better power (not verbatim but along that wording). Granted SNAC is a system that requires a decent time investment but he took Spence's shots decently so I imagine some of that can be attributed to strengthening the core which isn't exactly visible muscle development but alas it doesn't matter.
Yeah, I saw all of the muscle he put on. It was just all around his gut.
No offense, but you are a really gullible person.
"Itz duh SNACCCC bruh, Itz legit!!!"
How about I go one step better than no longer quoting you. I'm going to put you on ignore. You are a moron.
How about it? THANK YOU! Saved me the click
Yeah but as I said he’d half to deteriorate how body to the point he may as well not do it. He passed on Lomachenko for the it’s ok if I lose to Spence paycheck..still don’t think it was a smart move on his part.
Agreed, I think the Spence fight could have long term damage on Mikey, he really took a beating and I still can’t believe Robert let him continue in those later rounds. I’d be surprised if Mikey ever fights below 140 again tbh.
He should fight the winner of Commey v Lopez then fight the winner of AJ v Ruiz then fight the winner of Wider v Fury and become the undisputed lineal HW champ
stay busy opponent...fight for undisputed...tank.
Good stuff. I want Davis, in the meantime, to fight two styles: Gamboa, then the stiffest brawler at 135. That's Fortuna for me. That'd be a fantastic fight, style wise. It's my first choice before Gamboa.
Or I can trust...wait for it...wait for it...what SNAC is known for..not opinions, not conjecture, not assumptions but literally what their training regiments focus on. Sorry bud but I said he looked sloppy as well but that does not mean he didn’t put on muscle. You know legs, calves, back, shoulders, biceps, etc all have muscle right? Right? Ok then, so you put any athlete on a lifting regiment and according to your logic if they don’t come out looking like Tim bradley used to then they didn’t put on any muscle at all..somehow. Yet keep on keeping on cuz..just stop quoting me..please. Thanks.

Conspiracy theory? Lomachenko? Are you responding to the right post? Because if you aren't, then that is a hell of a random tangent to go off on.
I saw a fat, sloppy Mikey getting humiliated because he was fighting someone way too big.
A Mikey who had defended his title - and kicked ass - at 135 about half a year earlier, with no sign of struggling at that weight.
Mikey is an elite talent. He chooses to fight above his natural and best weight class for his own reasons. I respect his choice in that. Other fighters do the same thing, for their own reasons - chasing challenges, chasing bigger paydays - it is all good. I respect those choices.
But I don't deny that it is his choice.
Boxing camps, promoters, even boxers themselves are notorious for being loose with the truth.
You can choose to trust an unreliable and biased source over your own ftwo eyes. I choose differently.

Wow dude I’m a huge Lomachenko fan but holy conspiracy theory dog...have you actually looked into SNAC before assuming all of that? Dude just don’t reply anymore..because wow just wow...

The best scenario imo:
Haney
Commey-Lopez winner
Tank
Possibly the 3 best young fighters in the game all in the same division. Doesnt get any better than that
That was a hell of a regiment.
It managed to pack nothing but muscle, and only between the bottom of his ribs and the top of his pelvis.
Poorly defined muscle. Just around his waist. Which did nothing to help his performance.
Fat which identifies as muscle.
I like Mikey, and I even like his family, although I know that a lot of people don't.
But his family are there to help promote him, to say what they think needs to be said. They can say what they want, and if it contradicts what we see in the ring, then we know they are just doing their job.
Mikey was thick in the gut, slow, and sloppy. He got humiliated by a guy who is extremely talented - but not as good as he looked in that fight.
Mikey could fight at 135 easily. He doesn't want to. That's his choice.

Don't be so pessimistic. Tank and Mikey are the right fights to make and as fans, we should not accept a lot of BS excuses.
Yea but it most likely aint gonna happen especially the Mikey fight
Go watch the videos of his family talking about the snac regiment he was on, he may look sloppy but he put on muscle.

Yeah, he could make 135.
He didn't bulk up with muscle for the fight with Spence. He looked soft, and thick in the gut.
He also lost like a guy trying to fight several weight divisions above his natural weight.
Mikey is an elite boxer. Spence made him look like a fool. The happens to elite boxers who try to jump several divisions. It wasn't because Spence was so much better than Mikey - it was because Mikey was fighting two whole divisions above his natural weight.
Mikey could be fighting at 135. Physically it would be easy for him. He chooses not to.
He can stay at 140 and be successful. Elite fighters can sometimes fight one division above their best weight and enjoy prolonged success. Loma is doing it right now.
Mikey has enough ability to accept the handicap of fighting outside of his weightclass and do very well against the current crop of 140 fighters. I expect that is what he will do. Or he will chase some cash out fights, big names for big money at whatever weight.
