Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia: If I'm Presented With Lomachenko at 135 - I'll Take It!

[brettWall]

I have no doubt Arum would have made Mikey vs Loma had Garcia didn't leave TR. Both have fought Salido and Martinez. It's a perfect matchup.

[brettWall]

It's not too late, though. Arum needs to make this fight happen ASAP before Mikey moves up to 140.

Gamboa isn't with TR. Loma wasn't at 130 2 years ago when Mikey started to try and leave.

Exactly. Some cats will say anything in their attempts to discredit certain boxers.

[Mr. Luthor]

Very true. Mikey was already getting an average of $970K per fight (with Arum) fighting guys someone already beat. How much did he get for his last two non-TR fights? Less than $700K. He got $376K in the Zlaticanin fight, which is most likely would have been worth $1 mil at TR. He's probably a millionaire by now if he sticked with Arum.

How did leaving Arum work for De La Hoya, Mayweather and Cotto?

[Mr. Luthor]

id say he needs at least 2 more fights before he takes on loma, use common sense man. the disrespect of boxers by so called boxing fans is amazing!

Amazingly pathetic.

mikey wins this, arum wont allow it.

[Mr. Luthor]

Lomachenko is a different breed fighter. Loma will outbox Mickey, I am worried Loma will be robbed, just like he was robbed before, and just like Kovalev was robbed against Ward.
I believe they will meet one day, but Loma will first need to adjust to 135 pounds with 2-3 fights before he takes on Mickey (who is a true champ).
You can't just go up in weight and fight to top KO fighter in the world and do your best.

2-3 fights? That's not happening, especially since I believe there was talk of Loma being willing to move to face Pacquiao.

[Mr. Luthor]

he dropped it because he didn't want to be forced into a purse bid because lil G thought he was gonna get the mandated %.

do you not know how boxing works?

Too true and people seem to forget that Canelo is still the Lineal Middleweight Champion.

If GGG is solely interested in unifying the 160 division but Canelo has no 160 belt, why is he so interested in Canelo? Simple answer....it's always about the money.

[Mr. Luthor]

This would be a great fight.. Loma vs Mickey, they both have great skills and punching power... is a 50/50 fight for me although Loma's foot work could make all the difference.... I'll be very happy to pay for this fight

Lomachenko's footwork is special but so is Garcia's. I believe if they did fight, Garcia's size, punching power and elite skills would be too much for Lomachenko to overcome. However, Lomachenko is so highly skilled that this fight would be virtually a 50/50 pick'em fight where all true boxing fans can't lose.

are you ****ing dumb? I'm not a lil G fan. Lil G and Co. have already publicly stated they want a percentage like mayweather pacquiao. they want 40%. of course canelo isn't going to give them that or anywhere close to that. i mean he's mr. 97k for a reason. He turned down 15 million. So tell me why they wouldn't want it to go to purse bid to get the mandated %?

I agreed with you. Read my comment slower....And that's why they WANTED it to go to purse bid. They NEVER would of got more than 25-30% so they played their cards and lost. But seriously would you do ANY BIG $$$$$ sht KNOWING your going into a lawsuit that could change who gets that $$$$. Dumb FKN GGGTards don't realize SOMEONE else was SUING Canelo and saying they owned all his boxing rights. But that's a FKN DUK???
