Larry Merchant: Mikey Garcia is the future of Boxing

[Ray*]

I personally agree.

The future returns March 8th!

both looked strong fighting med core guys but once they step up to the elite wacky **** starts to happen (mickey already has had wacky moments. missing weight, not going on in the salido fight) now i know his nose was broken but I've seen guys fought with broken noses (many many of times) even a broken arm..........

well, heres your problem.............you thought that i was throwing a personal attack towards mickey and comparing his boxing abilities to ortiz. but i wasn't. (thats some fanboy stuff) going directly into a head to head comparison and missing the entire point. both guys have wacky moments...........mickey himself is struggling with his weight which leads me to believe that he's not a 130 pounder. he's like ortiz in the sense that both looked good early on but as their career progressed wacky things started to happen (now do you get what i was trying to say to you?) I'm not attacking your beloved mickey.

the comparison had nothing to do with who's the more polished...........ortiz is a wacky fighter & when he stepped up he just couldn't stop ****ing up.

i see mickey as a bit of the same. a wacky fighter. he's already missed weight (and his career is just starting) i just see him as having very wacky moments..........

Shut your wacky ass up

I like what I've seen from him so far. He is always patient, never gets rattled, and sets up nice combos to the head and body with power.

Definitely one of the young guns that will carry American boxing into the future

Perfect way to sums it up, I really do see this kid as the future. I just love the calmness about him.

i see mikey being p4p one day top 5 maybe he's had some hiccups but every boxer does

[HanzGruber]

Don't know about that. He's already been dropped a few times. Who's to say a guy his size or bigger wont really hurt him

Mikey is Mexican. When have you ever heard him say that he is American? He thanked the people of Mexico for their support after his win over Martinez, he wasn't thanking Americans.

except when he hurts his nose and runs to the ref/doctor to stop the fight

he was born in the United States and lives in the United States. he is American. his ethnicity is Mexican but he just uses that to draw fans like floyd uses mexicans on his undercards to draw fans. works like a charm.

Watch the Robert Garcia Reality Show episodes. You'll never hear Mikey or Robert or any of their family say that they're "American". You must be white, white people love to tell People Of Color what we are, as if we can't decide for ourselves.
