    Yes, look how fresh he still looks after 30+ fights, and he's dispatched strong opponents and made it look easy. Also, very entertaining to watch.

          That's exactly how I saw the Salido fight too!

          Garcia looked for, and took, the way out before things got ugly IMO!

            Depends.

            He looked good early against Salido, then when his power stopped having an effect the fight turned. Salido was coming on strong and Garcia was happy for the fight to be stopped on the headbutt.

            He was also dropped hard in the Martinez fight.

            He's a good fighter, but I don't think he's as good as some would suggest.

                Salido broke his nose with a head butt that was clearly intentional. I remember people in the threads calling Mikey a quitter. But like I said back then that head butt was intentional and Salido shouldn't be able to benefit from that foul.

                  He has a good foundation but it needs marquee names now. It's a shame that Arum couldn't make Mikey vs Gamboa or Uchiyama back in 2014

                    Hes lucky he carries so much power, there were certain fights he looked like **** but in the later rounds started to walk the smaller fighter down and KO them.

                      You don't think Mikey has any talent or skill? He comes from a boxing family for ****'s sake.
