Figueroa is a very worthy opponent with skills to take that "0" from Mikey. Omar has had hand issues in the past, but if that doesn't come into play, he could take Mikey deep into a war Mikey's not experienced before. OF is a fighter that can turn up the heat later in a fight when other fighters start to gas out and fade.

You do realize Figueroa is a 135 lb fighter who at the last minute had to change the limit to 154 to face demarco cuz his fat ass couldn't make weight. And Mikey's smart to be facing someone with a title instead of someone without

If Figueroa can make the weight than that becomes a moot point. The question is if they can/could get the fight made in the first place. I'm not hating on MG, just making an observation from what I've seen of Figueroa in his past fights. If OF can no longer make the weight than it's time for him to move up.

Can you show us any reasonable adult who has stated anything similar to this?

I think genpop is getting annoyed with Mikey Garcia. I think an issue here is he's overpricing his worth and it's coming off like he's jumping the line, know what I mean?

He had a big chance recently to grow his brand and passed on it because he didn't like the deal. He lied about the Cotto deal, he said he didn't like the deal and thats why he didn't take it.

Later on he says in a video he did like the deal and he was ready to sign. Just his Dad got worried he might get hurt or stopped and it would ruin his futures.

On one hand it's calculated and shows a good sense of business, but on the other hand Mexican Warriors know no fear. Getting caught in a lie about the god forsaken bad deals when it's just you and your team showing fear is kinda wack for consumers to deal with. How many of the other deals weren't so bad is what I'm thinking.

Boxing is about calculated risk and the move was to get that Cotto deal signed. If he would have done that he would have serious star power right now and there is absolutely no doubt in my mind he would have beaten Cotto even at that weight. Fool turned down everyone and their mother but the best deal was this leipinets, fishnets --- whatever his name is?

I enjoy Garcia the fighter, but this two-bit Garcia the promoter/personality thing is annoying.

Omar is lucky he isn't fighting Mikey.

I read a fight may be in he works between Omar and Broner.
