    So in your opinion, is what Mikey Garcia doing daring to be great?

    I guess you can look at this from 2 different perspectives, hes moving up risking everything against a tough former champ with name recognition, OR hes moving up for an easy W against a flawed guy with name recognition and lots of drama.

    Thoughts?

        He's doing what it takes to become great. Moving up multipel divisions

          The first one. It's a tough fight against a bigger fighter. Major props to Mikey.

            No, because Broner is on the slide and only an above average fighter.

            If he was moving to 140lbs, to fight Crawford that would be a different story. Still, I'm not criticising him for taking a huge money and profile opportunity, just noting this is not a particularly difficult fight for him.

              It's called making up for lost time. (That time away from the ring)

                    It's a great opportunity for him because it gets exposure, and it's a legit fight because Broner ain't easy. I fully believe Mikey will win but this isn't a tune-up or anything of that nature.
