    Dude Crawford is a terrific fighter period. There are a lot of things he does better than Mikey, regardless of size. You are fooling yourself if you think otherwise. He's been at 140 for a couple of years now so I'm sure he is outgrowing the division, but make no mistake he would be a small welterweight, Postol absolutely dwarfed him.

    I agree that Garcia-Lomachenko is the more intriguing and competitive fight because although Lomachenko might be ahead in terms of skill he is naturally a little smaller and Garcia has the equaliser, on paper it seems a much more even match up, whereas Crawford-Garica, I perceive the better fighter to also be the bigger fighter, and I think Garcia only has a punchers chance in that fight.

        X I couldn't agree more. I just hope he keeps his promoter situation right. I thk he learned from Bob to be extra cautious

          And there is things that Garcia does better than Crawford, like timing, bodywork, have more power and counter skills.

          Nope, Crawford will be a middle size welterweight.

          Crawford is bigger than Garcia too.

          Loma was fighting in 135 pounds in the olympics of 2012

            Crawford...yes but it could be a boring fight where Crawford boxes circles around him. Its a combination of style and skills that I think totally disarms Mikey. Its one of those fights where you know Garcia has the power and technique to turn the fight on its head in a moment, but that moment probably won't come.
            I agree it would end up looking like Floyd-Jmm..but then again it couldn't we have to see the fight to actually determine what happens

              Just stop bro. I see Crawford doing to him what Chico did to his brother. That said I'm a big mikey fan and wish him the best

                It's a shame for him and ourselves that he got shelved after he stepped up in competition late 2012 early 2013.
                I've always been big on Mikey to be honest he's living proof of my second generation take on Boxing.

                    Why do y'all think Money May cosigns Mikey Garcia and Canelo Alvarez? Because they're the truth! Floyd knows his boxing!

                      mickey vs easter jr would be awesome. broner's friend is huge for 135 lbs a real threat to mickey imo
