Comments Thread For: Easter: Mikey Garcia Made 'Lame Excuse' for Not Making Our Fight

[jjsmyth87]

Mikey is following the path of a Black fighter! His name is Floyd Mayweather! You can call Floyd whatever you want, but just make sure you call him the highest paid athlete of the last decade! That's smart business!

Thats the thing though hes not following the Mayweather blueprint. Hes trying to skip over the pretty boy Floyd stage and go straight to Money Mayweather and it doesn't work like that. Mayweather had to beat guys like Diego Corrales, Zab Judah, and Odcar De La Hoya and was a ppv star before he could cherry pick and make all that money. Pacuiao had to beat Erik Morales 2x Barrera 2x and De La Hoya before he could make big money. Mikey will not get there by continuing to fight the Lipinets and Zlaticanins of the world. Easter or Linares would have been a step in the right direction if he truly wants to become a ppv fighter. Right now hes using the Danny Garcia blueprint but even he stepped up and fought Thurman eventually

I used to be a big fan of Mikey too. I watched the Robert Garcia Reality Show on Esnews every day but now im his biggest hater because I came to see hes all talk and no action, biggest fraud in the sport right now

Mikey "served his time" with TR, just like Floyd did. He got out of his contract, just like Floyd did! He beat Zlaticanin @ 135 for a title, and Broner @ 140, which put him back on the map! Now he needs to beat Lipinets for his 4th title, and then beat Linares in the summer! He's on the right path, however neither Linares, nor Lomachenko, are as big as Oscar was for Floyd! On top of that, the PPV is dead! Mikey will never be as big as Floyd (and no ne else will either) but he is maximizing his career very well! SMART MAN!

If it were Easter that jumped up to fight Lipinets instead of Garcia it would be seen as a clear duck.

I knew he wasn't fighting Easter from jump.

At 5'11" Easter Jr. is too high-risk, low-reward, for anybody (incl. Loma) at 135! I think Easter should move up to 140, and challenge Prograis, Barthelemy, or Omar Figueroa Jr.!

Easter wants to unify 135
He can move up afterwards.

Loma is not moving up to 135...dude is not about taking risks.

Unify with who? If Mikey beats Lipinets, he faces Linares in the summer! If he beats Linares, he'll be seeking Lomachenko, or another fight @ 140. If Omar beats Broner, I can see that fight (Garcia vs. Figueroa Jr.) happening! Easter should beat him to the punch, and go after Omar, or a title @ 140!

Where do you get that Lomachenko **** from??
You're on LSD if you think Loma gets in the ring with Garcia.

He is not about taking risks.

If he retiring after the Lipinets fight? He can't fight him in a unification bout! I like Easter but relax just because he didn't fight him next doesn't mean they will never fight. They can't meet at 140

Loma is not scared of Garcia, but we know who is the Grinch! So about that unification...Easter should unify with who?
