Should Mikey stay at 135 and not rush a fight with Crawford?

[therealpugilist]

Fighters move up and down the scale too much for me


there arent many established fighters who dominate their division and establish themselves as greats in just 1 anymore


Mikey Garcia has the tools to clean out 135 and possibly be considered a hall of famer, maybe even an ATG if he doesnt rush and takes it one fight at a time

I dont see anyone at 135 that could beat him

A fighter with Linares would be awesome

Lommey and easter jr. would make great opponents soon, as would the other titlists

He doesnt need to rush a crawford fight. Crawford has the size on him and is just as skilled as he is, if not more. I'd rather see them fight each other at their very best


lightweight may not be spectacular but their is enough talent at 130-135 for Mikey to build his resume and then create a demand for Crawford

also its not a given that he will be able to beat Easter jr. or the other top 135ers, he has to show us first.

Garcia can do whatever the hell he want but he aint beating no slick brother like Terence.

lil Mikey be fighting like a robot, stepping forward, arms high. He aint got no rhythm. Feel me?

....floyd sr....is that you big homie....

Yea i think crawford may be a little to mobile and tricky for him

Mikey is a little stiff

he looks beter suited for 135, 140 may be his ceiling



oh yea man....tell on your ladies to roll a fattie for this pimp daddy!!!

I feel you slice. Mikey only good when he got himself a size advantage otherwise he aint all that. when all these bruvas start rising up, theyll tear him apart.

only guy I see giving him trouble at 135-140 is Easter jr. and Crawford the others are toss ups or Garcia beats them out right.

That dude Robert Easter is pretty huge. Hes 5'11" with a 76in reach. Some heavyweights dont even have that big of a reach but hes still un-proven as is Garcia, hell look at Imir Imam, dudes built the same way. 135 other than that really isn't all that. And no way does Garcia go to 140 and try and rattle it while TC is there.

BUT not trying to call you out completely Pugilist but as a fellow GGG hater, you started your post off saying people move up and down to much and dont claim 1 division, but isnt that what GGG is doing?

its cool man...in GGG's and Rigos case.....they should move up if being "ducked" is a problem...look at Frampton...that was the lamest excuse " I want to provide for my family".....rigo would be one of his highest pay days he and his team just doubt they beat him, just as a few guys with GGG


The difference is Garcia has already won titles at 126 and 130, there is no need to chase the big guys at 140 if he can make 135 and establish himself there

whereas GGG has never moved up.

Sure, drain down to have a crazy size advantage over most. Kidding aside, I won't be surprised if he stays there but sooner or later he's gonna miss weight AGAIN (people seem to forget).
