Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia Doesn't See How Vasiliy Lomachenko Pulls Off A Win Against Devin Haney

[jqSide]

Garcia seems to have a very skewed perception of height. He said similar thing about Crawford having size advantage when in fact TC has fairly average height, which is only 5'8".

Loma and Haney only has 2" difference.

You want to see real size advantage in play?

Watch the Fundora vs Lubin fight. The guy is a towering 6'5.5".

Mikey Garcia also said Teo's size advantage gave him a huge edge in the Loma fight. Is this guy serious? It was a one inch difference. What a joke.

He is talking more about frame and weight. If you look at Loma, he has narrow shoulders and body so he can carry less weight naturally than more wider fighters like Teofimo for example.

Mikey ducked Loma thats why hes talkin out his as.s....

Maybe so but come on man. Garcia didn't want anything to do with Loma. He knew he would get dominated. It's easier on your ego if you get dominated by a much bigger opponent (Spence) instead of a smaller guy like Loma.

Or better to make bread at PBC, than to put another penny in the pockets of the man that robbed me! They did draw 47K to Dallas Cowboy Stadium!

And Loma was levels above anybody teofimo had faced. We saw what happened.

Fights are fought in the ring. Not on paper

Yeah. And the guy went into that fight with a TUE for his torn rotator cuff from dislocating his shoulder. And many pros don't believe Lopez actually won. Even Ward scored that fight a draw. Yet people want to forget about these things. I guess you're saying that Haney should win if Loma fights with one arm.

The first thought is to think Mayweather vs. Pacquiao, but I'm not sure Haney has faced the level of competition necessary to use his skills like Floyd did vs. Manny. Floyd was groomed sparring with Pernell Whitaker, had beaten fighters like Chop-Chop, Zab Judah, and Oscar de La Hoya, way before Pacquiao came along! I would favor Lomachenko 60/40, but I'm proud of Haney because he wants it, unlike Tank and Ryan Garcia! If I was Bill Haney, I would want Stevenson first, just to see a Southpaw with fast hands b4 Lomachenko!

People compare Haney to Floyd but many of these people don't realize that Floyd had so many more tools on his belt. Haney does things that Floyd would never do, such as constantly dipping. Floyd mixed up his stances and defensive postures fluidly, while Haney doesn't. He has one way of fight and one way only. Some people (not saying you) just don't get it, that the gap between Haney and Floyd is enormous. What Haney does have is good athleticism, but I believe Floyd was the better athlete.

Here goes Mr. I see something again. AkA I ducked linares and Yuri Gamboa. Aka Mr. Rainbow days.

That's right! He ducked Linares too!

Lightweight titleholder Mikey Garcia has rejected an offer to unify belts with Jorge Linares early next year, Golden Boy Promotions president Eric Gomez, who promotes Linares, told ESPN on Wednesday.

Gomez said he, Golden Boy CEO Oscar De La Hoya and Linares were particularly disappointed because Garcia is the one who went on social media and began calling out for the fight and when the company "gave Mikey basically everything he wanted he turned it down."

Gomez said Golden Boy offered him a 50-50 split of the money in the fight, agreed to a one-fight deal without having any options on future Garcia fights -- a big issue for Garcia -- and also agreed that if Garcia wanted adviser Al Haymon, a bitter rival of Golden Boy's, involved in the bout it would not be an issue.

He knows that, that's why he doesn't want Loma to succeed

he's a jealous clown, and he's butthurt because his venture into WW to duck Loma turned out to be disastrous for him

Loma will school Haney if they fight, and everyone knows it

You don't speak for everyone. You speak for yourself.
