    Don't get what you are getting rah rah about. My point is Bradleys resume isn't HOF and Mikey's obviously isn't but they 'll likely put him in cos he is a 4 weight division.

        Bradley's career accomplishments and opposition were 10x better than Mikey Garcia's. Stop yourself.

          Bradley has Pac and JM Marquez on his record. I don't think he actually beat Pac, but it's on his ledger. Garcia doesn't even have a win against an aging great. Head to head, Bradley would beat Garcia, in my book. I don't even think it would be close.

            I think Tim had a better career. The JMM victory def puts him over anything Mikey has done. (The Pacquiao victory not so much).

            I always felt Tim didn’t get a lot of credit because he didn’t have the classic eye-test boxing style that people liked or expected from elite fighters. But, he’s a HOF’er now so I guess I was wrong.

            mikey has more of that style, and more belts, but didn’t reach as high a peak as Bradley. Time will tell if he gets in but I don’t think he deserves it. Prob will sneak in on a weak year though.

              Mikey did the right thing so he can enjoy his life after boxing. Pac should not come back--bad idea! Maybe Spence should think about it too. If you keep taking punches you will not be much good later in life.

                I wouldn't call it a con job, Mikey had the skills to pay the bills but he didn't have the size for 147, that's why he lost to Spence.

                Same thing will happen to Crawford if he goes too high up in weight, 147 is his max.

                  Mikey was a top tier guy. Maybe a tad overrated but he made a lot of dough and left with his marbles intact! Good luck to him!

                    Mikey handled business for himself because who else was gonna arrange him a cashout like that, especially one where he got to show that you don't just knock Lil' Chunko Mikey out xD

                      Mikey would beat Tank Davis comfortably at lightweight. I feel that was his best division.
