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

So we're supposed to criticize him because he's really good?

What if he was the greatest fighter that ever lived and nobody would be a 50-50 fight? We're suppose to trash him for that?

Such a strange way of thinking.

The dude, right away, after a long layoff, went after the undefeated WBC lightweight world champion that Linares was ducking and quickly knocked him out.

He then moved up to 140 to hand Broner his only loss in his best weight class. Now he's fighting for a world title at 140 and wants to fight for a world title at 147.

The dude used to fight at FEATHERWEIGHT!!! You should be praising him for having the balls to keep moving up in weight and instead you're ****ting on him because he's good and nobody at his weight would be 50-50 against him?!?

the problem is he calls out lomachenko Linares Cotto and Crawford wth zero intention of fighting them. Justo using their names. Now he’s using Spence's name too. He won’t fighg him. Has no intention.

Linares is his mandatory and Linares has had two years to demand a purse bid. Mikey says he wants to win the IBF 140 and then move back down to 135 to unify with Linares. You say he has zero intention of doing that, but there's nothing logical to support your position. Let's see who ends up ducking the purse bid.

Mikey had every intention of fighting Cotto if it was a one fight contract. That fight didn't happen because GB would only let the fight happen if Mikey signed a long term exclusive promotional agreement.

I agree Crawford & Loma won't happen, but that's not because of Mikey. That's because of Bob Arum. No logical reason for Bob to allow those fights. He doesn't have Mikey. He has very few stars. It would decimate his ESPN deal for one of his two main guys to lose to Mikey unless he had Mikey locked up long term.

Name drops fighter he knows he won’t fight. Always with the same excuse to avoid a name fighter saying it’s a business move then he goes fight a no name. Acting like the fights are hard to make but they all under Haymon Promotions.

Mikey is being a diva. Name drops a lot of fighters and ask them to do this and that, but when said fighter is gonna do what asks (Easter) he turns around 180 and goes for an another route.

B1tch made.

Exactly, I was big on Garcia early on but this guy is the most calculated guy in boxing in terms of being in easy fights.

You know damn well that's not what I mean, alphabet soup. His resume is not that good, his best wins are journeyman Salido, a washed up Broner, and.....Roman Martinez? This is the guy who calls out guys like Lomachenko, Spence, Thurman, Cotto, and Linares but had/has no intentions of fighting any of them. It's not that he's that good, it's that he refuses to fight anybody worth a damn. He'll probably defeat the beatable Lipinets, take a 10 month lay off and come back to fight somebody like Easter.

he's calling out guys he has no intention of fighting. ever. he's fought a couple euro paper champs so what? he should have been fought linares instead he moves up to fight a nobody for a paper belt? clean up lightweight first then move up.

Yup, Mikey is the biggest diva in boxing and I don't know how he doesn't get called on it as much. Good for him for having such an easy career but it sucks for the fans because he has yet to deliver any meaningful fight.


This cat left 135 when Loma moved north and Mikey is now at 140 since Crawford abandoned it. How convenient.

Oh oh, he's a journeyman when Mikey beats him. Gotcha. Same guy that after losing to Mikey, goes on to beat Lomachenko. Gotcha.
