      Yes, I understand that and those are valid points. Conjecture on my part, but I assume that Mikey would identity himself as Mexican as oppose to American, even if geographically he is. I've garnered this theory from watching a ton of crappy ESNEWS interviews and observing his ring walks, choice of music, and style of dress (Mexican cowboy). It's a cultural thing and I understand it, many Mexican-Americans/Chicanos identify more with Mexican culture than they do with American culture. Also, Mexican isn't an ethnicity bro.

        Carl Froch has mentioned Chavez Jr as a possible opponent too. High reward with low risk.

          He needs to get himself to 175 and fast.

          If he shelves himself again over some promotional bull****, I'll stop being a fan.

            And the first notable thing he did was almost in 2010, personally I don't think there is much at 175 for him either maybe a few possibly good wins.

              Good call, Mikey Garcia I feel is not as good as expected. Mares 2.0
              Danny Garcia
              A.B.
              Wilder
              Possibly Thurman

                I also like Andrade, he was my favorite of the last group of prospects so i will stick with him doing some big things, probably not Floyd like big things but perhaps Ward like things.


                I think Spence could be bigger in the end because to me he seems more interested in hurting people.

                  Wilder looks like he has a suspect chin. He's Michael Grant 2.0.

                    There will be some distance between Mayweather's retirement and Ward's retirement I would think.

                      I think there's some good potential wins for him.

                      Stevenson and Kovalev obviously, lineage at 175. Other foreseeable opportunities.

                      There's nothing for him at 168.
