Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia: I'd Rather Fight Errol Spence Than Lomachenko

[Lomadeaux]

You're not fighting either guy Mikey so stop talking out your neck. This dude always name dropping but has yet to be in a 50-50 fight his entire career, let alone any fight where he'd be the underdog.

He'll never fight Spence.

[N/A]

He says he wants Thurman and Spence and only wants fights that excites him, and then he goes and fights Broner and Lipinets...

You're misrepresenting the facts. He said after he wins a title at 140, he wants to move back down to 135 to unify and then move up to 147 a year or two later.

Lipinets is one of the toughest world champions in all of boxing and beat the most legitimate opponent for a totally not vacant title. Easily p4p top 10, if Mikey beats him he is really proving himself to be the best

[CLUBBER!]

I smell a duck.

Cant you see that he keeps name dropping all the top fighters like Loma, Crawford, Spence ect but then when hes offered a good fight he takes lesser opposition. Could have fought Linares, Cotto and Easter and instead hes fighting Lipinets who really sucks.

You're misrepresenting the facts. Linares is the mandatory and can ask for a purse bid at any time. Linares' promoter doesn't want the fight yet. A purse bid is coming, but Linares is trying to get other fights. Mikey is not the one ducking that fight.

Mikey wanted to fight Cotto, but Cotto's promoter insisted that Mikey sign a long term exclusive promotional agreement. Mikey understandably said no.

Not sure how you can fault Mikey for fighting Lipinets instead of Easter. Winning the IBF title at 140 pounds is more significant than winning the IBF title at 135 pounds. Why would you criticize Mikey for taking the bigger challenge?

Just cut it out, alphabet soup. You're just being an industry shill for those you like and it's becoming annoying.

Just stay dormant and only come out to defend and excuse the corrupt belt organizations when asked to like you were doing.

Wow . Didn't realize how much Hate Mikey be getting . He calls out Linares then calls out Lomachenko ( face to face ) then says he's willing to fight Spence WHEN he moves up to WW . But yet you have guys on here calling him a duck , a joke and all these other names ?

I’m on Mikey’s side. I’d pick him over Spence and Loma.

Upon hearing this, Keith Thurman has declared himself 100%. And he’s ready to fight Mikey ASAP.
