    Mikey has a ton of momentum, Now........

    Mikey Garcia has a ton of Momentum at the moment.
    He can fight Jorge Linares, Robert Easter, Yuriokis Gamboa, Vasyl Lomanchenko, Terrence Crawford at 140, Even Broner at 140 would be fun offensively. Antonio Orozco is young and Hungry. Mikey With wins over several of these guys could make a run at p4p list top spot.
    List who you all should think he fights the rest of 2017.

    Lomachenko is the toss up fight I'd love to see.
    He beats everyone else on the list but loses to Crawford.

          I think Easter may be the toughest of those fights. Crawford can be lured into trading at times and Garcia is a technically strong boxer puncher.

            agreed. Crawford is world class, but hes not unbeatable and theres still question marks by him for me in terms of whether hes going to be true elite p4p level like many assume. Gamboa was tagging him easily before the size difference came into play. I'd favour mikey garcia in that one. I'd sure as hell love to see it though to find out...

              I love Mikey, but y'all need to slow your roll

              Crawford is not only a p4p dude, but hes alot bigger. IMO, too much to overcome.

              And since the OP said "2017" Crawford IMO is not realistic. Mikey just made his first big win at 135.

              Loma is actually more realistic (if Arum & Haymon could work together). Call me believing the hype, but Loma, even giving up a lot of size, looks like he might have too much movement and speed for Mikey. It would be a tough, evenly-matched fight, but I would pick Loma.

              I'd like to see Mikey fight Easter & Linares/Crolla winner in 2017. Honestly, this is super-ambitous. I consider both fight real difficult tests. But Team Mikey said they want big fights, so lets make them.

              Easter is good young fighter with excellent size. But I saw alot of sloppiness v Commey. He could cause alot of problems for Mikey, but I would see Mikey at some point catching Easter and KTFO. Team Easter should let him gain experience first.

              I actually think Linares/Crolla would be easier for Mikey.

              With these 2 fights Mikey becomes THE MAN at 135, a p4p guy -- and then ready for a Loma or a Crawford.

                Mikeys key to success is staying active. I doubt anyone complains if Mikey takes on a top 20 guy his next fight after that performance he just had, he just needs to get in the ring soon.

                  Easter is tall and can box very well. I still think he would be tougher style wise than Crawford. Crawford likes to try to come forward at times. Would love to see Loma/Mikey at 135. I think Mikey would lose some rounds but be catching up with power punches by round 8. From then on it's up to Loma to try to hold on.

                    Loma couldn't beat 75 year old Salido, but people are saying he'll beat a beast like Garcia? lol
