Comments Thread For: Dibella Says Arum Won't Put Crawford in With Mikey Garcia

Mikey would lose that fight

[Dr Rumack]

Crawford beats Mikey. I'd say it's the other way around.

Mikey va Crawford is a tough fight for both. Whoever wins, it won't be easy. Leaning toward Crawford but Mikey is live on that one. Other than Crawford, I can see Mikey beating anybody at 40 or 35 including loma and linares. I think Mikey would beat a lot of welters too including dsg

Crawford is not going to be the same fighter when you move him up in weight. He clearly doesn't have speed and power to move up divisions. He can dominate if he stays at 140. Because Arum is an avarice, greedy ***, and doesn't have many options - he's definitely going to move him up to 147 this way he can expand the opponent selection to two divisions.

Crawford needs to get away from Arum ASAP!

Arum will not put Loma or Crawford in with Mikey given how Mikey left TR, unless he can get Mikey to drain down to fight Loma at 130 or put him in with TC at 147.

Mikey should defend his belt against Ray Beltran before He goes on a unification. Crawford will whoop Mikey at 140 if Top Rank decides to make that fight.

So if he gets away from Arum, how does that change anything? The talent pool at 140 is shallow, Mikey and Broner are the only money fights at that weight, and Broner's stock just dropped way down. Garcia/Broner got less than a million views on SHO, so neither of them are PPV attractions and neither is Crawford.

If he moves up, he still has to face the same heavy-handed hitters at 147 if he wants to earn some good paydays. Regardless of who he signs with, the road to wealth and glory is not paved with soft touches and B-rate fighters. He will need to fight Thurman, Spence, D. Garcia, Porter, et al if you wants to make money.

I would love to see Crawford vs Garcia.Tough fight but my pick is Crawford. Mikey and Loma? Loma all day every day and Garcia is one of my favorites. Great skills and as far as I can see a good guy but Loma is just a prodigy. I don't think he will lose unless they put him in with someone real big like Crawford) or till time slows him down like it does for all fighters.

Why is DiBella always talking about Garcia so much lately? He's not promoting him is he?

[PK3434]

he has no fighters that the public cares about.... he gets paid a fee to promote haymon fighters... he is doing his job... dont be a bitter fan boy

Bitter about what? Fanboy for who?

Lou has a pretty large stable of fighters that he should promote harder instead of daydreaming about guys that would never be allowed to sign a promotional agreement with him.
