Did Mikey Garcia ruin his legacy?

Legacy ?!?!?

[QueensburyRules]

Considered one of the top fighters in the lighter divisions and instead of giving us great fights and enhancing his resume he literally pissed it all away just because "he dared to be great" moving up to fight Spence.

Meanwhile after Loma beat Linares it was perfect time to make a super fight and crown a lineal Champion. He instead vacated the WBC title and caused the mess of the vacant title to begin with. Plenty of great legacy match ups in his own weight class with a lot of young rising stars to fight. Instead he ends his career on a loss against a nobody.

- - Arrived at that perfect point in time where he was doing most of his training at the dinner table.

Made his money with noggin still intact and a man of his people unlike U.

mikey made 10 million on his way out

2 million vs spence
7 million vs vargas
1 million vs Martin

He made the right decision for his life after boxing.

Lomachenko is the only fight we ever cared about for mikey and Bob was never gonna pay mikey for that fight after the way mikey left top rank. so mikey made the right decision financially.

8 million vs Spence

[Hustle]

8 million vs Spence

His guarantee wasn't 8 million. And I don't know what he made from ppv. That's why I said 2 million. That was his guarantee

[Zaroku]

Mikey was never really all that good.. Yeah he's good with the basic boxing fundamental but it takes more than that to become great! Could have made some good money but he turned down those fights..

Any Mexican whips up on koons easy

He ruined his legacy when he ducked Loma.

[Malvado]

He had a good career though he could had done more. He is the opposite of Ryan Garcia, he fought at a weight class he belongs to from the start, he wasn't athletically gifted and for a textbook fighter he was very fundamentally sound.

He has held multiple world championships in four weight divisions. Competing from Featherweight to Welterweight.

His resume isn't bad if you analyze his fights

Orlando Salido (40-11-2):
Lost competitively going the distance against Juan Manuel Marquez at his prime.

Had a win over a Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero but was ruled a NC as Salido failed a drug test. After that Guerrero went into winning streak winning against the likes of Joel Casamayor, Michael Katsidis and Andre Berto.

Beaten Cesar Soto who handed Jose Luis Castillo his first loss and beaten Luisito Espinoza in a rematch.

Robert Easter recently made a comeback to light welterweight.

Mikey Garcia first loss was to a 29-year-old Errol Spence who's a Champion two weight divisions above Mickey's competing at the elite level today, and his second loss was against an unknown light welterweight after being unactive for a long time, losing in a boring fashion. Despite that Spence was winning by knockout in every fight before facing Mickey Garcia from September 11, 2014, to June 16, 2018 even though he won in a dominating fashion.

Mickey currently has a record of 40-2-0 with 30 KOs which isn't bad at all.

His fighting record from 2010 to 2018 is pretty good.

Does he have the best resume? No, Could he had done more? Yes he just retired at age 34. But I think he deserves the credit he is due without backhanded compliments just because his career ended the way it did.
