When has Easter suddenly become this world beater ?

[Regulus]

Straight from the horse's mouth,
Mikey Garcia:
"Lipinets presents a size advantage as far as weight, but Easter presents height and reach advantages," said Garcia, who's five inches shorter than the 5-feet-11 Easter. "That could make for a very difficult fight. He could use his height and reach advantage over me and make things more complicated. So those are the challenges."

Easter vs Garcia certainly is the more marketable fight precisely because of the height difference.
So blame Garcia for not wanting any piece of Easter.
Regardless of what fans think.

Mikey flat out ducked Easter.

Since Garcia signed to fight Lipinets, now it’s he “Ducked” Easter lol... ok

You'd be calling Easter a duck

If the roles were switched it would be a duck.

If the roles were switched it would be a duck.

Maybe for idiotic fan boys like Steve Kim and Doug fischer but not anyone with actual boxing brains.

I think you're wrong on Valdez. Kid can become elite imo.

I for one hope so cause I've followed him for a while now but the kid is so flawed and at times ordinary I just can't see it.

I've only seen a few posters talking up Easter as though he was a legit threat to Mikey or Loma. Same with Indongo right before his fight with Crawford. Some people are just easily impressed.
