Not too long ago, Mikey vs Loma was the fight at 135. Then, Mikey went up to 147 to fight Spence and Vargas.
Lopez will move up to 140 sooner rather than later, and Mikey should move back to 140.
If these two fought at 140, who would win?
If Robert wants it, I'd imagine Teo would also want another P4P star fighter on his resume.
Arum would be the roadblock on his fight. After Mikey lost to Spence, Arum said Mikey was done.
I think aside from cotto arum hates everyone who leaves his company
Oh yeah I forgot about Bob Arum here, Arum wants no business wtih Mikey. Before Spence Arum said F No to Mikey he not doing business with Mikey when they asked about Lomachenko fight and then after Mikey lost to ESJ he was saying Mikey is done. So Arum has a personal grudge against Mikey that I dont think any fight will be able to overcome no matter what that magnitude of fight possibly can be imo.
That's probably a big reason as to why Mikey went to 147. Loma was the big fight at 135 (Arum's fighter). Ramirez and Taylor are Top Rank. Pacquiao is at 147 and is no longer with Arum, so that fight was possible.
I think Arum would let Crawford fight Mikey, because Crawford needs better opponents and it's hard to see Mikey beating Crawford.
If Robert wants it, I'd imagine Teo would also want another P4P star fighter on his resume.

Interesting fight to say the least. I know Robert Garcia Mikey big brother is one record saying he loves that fight for Mikey and is the reason he was excited that Teofimo Lopez won. Its a 50/50 fight, will mikey be able to deal with Teofimo Lopez explosiveness? and can Lopez take Mikey power, Mikey power is obviously the real deal.

At the 147 weigh-ins, it looks like he's carrying around extra weight he doesn't need. He didn't even look drained at all when he weighed for his last fight at 135 against Robert Easter Jr.
Yeah he dont need it he looked fat last video interview I seem with him, he has that Mexican body that you never see ripped , many of these guys look like untrained surfers not fighters lol, Morales always looked like a weakling, must be genetics they just dont have the muscle body fat ratios that others have.
The added weight could just fall of him going back to 140, but once you let your body gain weight that you have kept off for years its often hard to get to leave again.
I think Mikey is banking on a Manny fight and adapting his body to WW.
He might have a hard time making 140 he has packed the weight on this last year.

- -Mikey don't listen to candies on BS.
He gots a future HOF trainer in his big bro and their pop advising him.
Lopez never fought over 135, so who knows. Mikey has some experience even at 147.
Mikey moved to 147 to get his career paydays. he won`t move to 140 for Lopez.
He might have a hard time making 140 he has packed the weight on this last year.
Again, Mikey is 147 fighter now. he wants Pacquiao payday, he doesn`t care about 140 division.
Pacquiao's last fight was July of 2019. It was a hard fought 12 rounds for a 40 year old. I feel like that was Pacquiao's last bit of greatness. He won't fight at all in 2020, and will turn 42 in December.
When he returns from a possible 2 year lay off, my bet is he'll be fighting Conor McGregor. That's a bigger payday than Mikey, and it's also a much easier fight.
Always favor the fighter with faster hands and power, that showed a great boxer IQ.
Regardless that’s a great fight to make down the line.
Let Lopez have some Easy stay active fights. Let him get his feet wet I say.
But Lopez is all Jaguar warrior. He would probably take on the winner of Taylor-Ramirez next.
The winner of Taylor-Ramirez will be undisputed at 140, if Lopez beats the winner and becomes undisputed at 140, then a fight with Mikey would be big.
Y’all really think Mikey is a slow plodder with no skills? Lol
Good fight, think Mikey cracks a lot harder.
He hurts teo late, and that’s when will see who wins

Mikey is a sell out POS with no heart.
Teo would beat his ass too much speed power and accuracy.
Chubby Mikey would go into surival mode ala Spence fight.
Mikey is a proven quality, Lopez hasn't done anything yet. Challenging yourself isn't selling out.
Mikey by KO...hes a big/skilled 140lbr.If he wasnt chasing names at 147and a little more disciplined with his weight,I'd favor him over everyone at 140 let alone135.
