Please, remind me who Mike García has beaten...

[jrosales13]

Often, that's what it comes down to. In the absence of big names, the quality of the wins must be considered. Nonetheless, Mikey's not ready for Yuri. They may never fight at all, since Gamboa is moving on to 130 and probably beyond.

They might never fight cuz' of Gamboa moving up. But, Garcia might follow him as well.

Maybe Garcia is not ready, you right.

But, Garcia is probably as good if not better than anyone who Gamboa has fought thus far.

I wouldn't say that Salido or Ponce De Leon, who really are the 2 best fighters that Gamboa has fought, are levels above Garcia cuz' they're not. Not even at this stage.

Really for the level that Garcia is in, his level of comp is not bad. For the level that supposedly Gamboa is in, he level of comp is not good at all.

Barros gives García a thorough beating right now, right from the bell.

Why? What does Barros do that would give Garcia trouble?

What does Barros that would give Lock trouble?

Are you just hyping up Barros because of the Gamboa fight?

I think it's safe to say that Gamboa fights to the level of his competition. And, for all his talents doesn't always look spectacular.

[jrosales13]

You're right. Now, at this stage in Mikey's career, do you think he's ready for Gamboa?

I don't think he's ready for Gamboa personally.

But, personally also I do think that Garcia is just as good or better than anyone who Gamboa has fought thus far in his career. Which includes Salido who I think is Gamboa best win. And, is not like Gamboa look spectacular in that fight either. And, that win became better cuz' of what Salido did to Juanma.

Now García is better than Salido... The nutthuggery is strong in this thread. Check who Salido is and who he has fought and BEATEN (he beat Guerrero, hint) before speaking.

Salido rips García apart.

Frankly, I think Ponce is somewhat overrated. But Salido? He's underated, IMO. Mikey is better schooled and more talented than "Siri", but Orlando is a very tough, blue-collar fighter. Sometimes grit can triumph over talent. A guy like Salido, who came up the hard way, can really rough up a kid like Garcia. Orlando is better than anyone Mikey has faced. And he's the best that Gamboa has been allowed to face.

You should have mentioned Juanma instead of Guerrero. Because, you must think why was that fight change to a NC(Hint, look at his performance). So think before speaking. Because, if you would have thought. I mentioned who he has beaten.

But, also if you had the reading comprehension of a, lets say, elementary school student, you would know that I'm talking about skills and talent.

Not only is the nuthuggery strong in this thread but so is the haterism. SMH.

Salido was good before JuanMa; the upset just brought that fact to light. Gamboa didn't look spectacular, but he handled Orlando quite convincingly. That's not an easy task, as Lopez found out.

Exactly he is. You see Garcia fight, you see Salido fight, you can tell who the more skilled talented fighter is.

I do agree that will intangibles can beat skills and talent. We don't know how much grit, Garcia has yet though. He hasn't had to use it yet. So yes I do agree that so far Salido has showed more in this department.

And, I also agree that Salido is the best fighter that Gamboa fought for whatever reason.

The Juanma win made that Gamboa win better though, that is what I'm saying.

Salido is the same fighter post Juanma than he was pre Juanma. But, he didn't have a marquee name pre Juanman. So beating Juanma made the Gamboa win better than it was before Salido beat Juanma.

I was making a reference to Gamboa not being allowed to fight Lopez.
