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

    Yes. Crawford was 157 on fight night. He will be a full fledged welterweight real soon.

    This fight will likely be years down the road at 147

      yea....I dont think Loma will go to 135 at all.....Commey, Easter are big AF and Mikey has pop too. He is gonna be at 126-130 until the dust clears

        He should. Are you afraid that he might lose?

        I'm a Golovkin fan but stop licking his ******** so much.

          damn....he was really that high? thought the wbc usually has a ten pound hydration clause


          man, these MFers be taking advantage of weigh-ins system today.

          30 years ago crawford would have turned pro at 147, ****s sickening at times

          when I wrestled in high school i was at 135 and 140 and even after I ate and weighed the next day I'd only be 143 at 140 and 138 when at 135

            You're talking 5 years minimum before even seeing this fight materialize.
            ...who said the fight was easy to make

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

              well theres one who is trying to do that, one you and many others on this website heckle and berate for staying at middleweight

                he should grab a belt at 135 first imo. but isn't he with PBC now? his opponents will depend on what is there. crawford is with top rank. at this point a fight with broner is more realistic than one with crawford (is more doable imo)

                  I guess he forgot that mikey has already won titles at 126 and 130.....140 seems like its pushing it with his frame and reach

                  GGG on the other hand is in his mid 30s, with a worse resume than a guy who sat out 2.5 years...pretty bad

                      I think broner would knock out Garcia

                      Broner is too big for him and has too mch power. Also he can take a punch. Garcia isnt rough enough to disrupt Broner
