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

[N/A]

Crawford would be a -500 or -600 favorite.

I don't like to argue opinions, so I'll simply respectfully disagree. I expect Mikey to perform very well at 140, I don't think Crawford will do quite as well at 147 as he did at 140, so in this hypothetical fight at 147 18-24 months from now, I personally believe the odds would be about half that. You disagree. I got no problem with that. So we'll move on.

Jermall is a mandatory for a belt he won’t fight for a long time. The WBC is good at that and does t want to push GGG away. Even if Charlo got the belt t would only be one and he would have no opponents.

Jermall is about to become interim champion. Which puts more pressure on GGG or Canelo (if Canelo is even willing to accept the title in the first place) because Jermall will be entitled to a larger cut.

The WBC stripped Canelo when GGG was interim champion. Canelo was the #1 star in boxing at the time. So don't think for one second that Moro will let Canelo or GGG to duck Jermall. I talked to Moro about that just the other day. The WBC isn't next in the rotation, but when it's the WBC's turn, it will be enforced. If Canelo wins, it probably won't matter and Charlo will automatically become champion.

so u are admitting mikey just used Spence’s name just like crawford and Cotto. He knows in 18 months Spence is likely long gone from 147

No, he's naming someone he would like to fight if/when he moves up to 147. If that person isn't at 147 anymore, life goes on. You're acting like Mikey tweeted at Spence I'M COMING FOR YOU NEXT *****!!!

He just mentioned some people he'd like to fight some day. Geez. Calm down.

and then who does Jermall fight? Centeno rematch? Lol. Having a paper title doesn’t do much for his bank account but maybe he will sign with Golden Boy or Hearn and get the big payday he wants.

u also failed to address the talent leaving the pbc and some are taking belts with them.

Call it a paper title all you want, it's still the most prestigious championship in boxing. Last I checked, there are plenty of Haymon guys with belts making millions of dollars and I'm sure Charlo would love to be one of them and he will be if he keeps winning. GGG isn't going to reign forever. Haymon will get his hands on more of those belts.

And what we know about GGG makes it pretty clear he won't duck. So it may actually be GGG-Charlo for all the marbles.

Out of everyone at middleweight right now, Charlo is sitting in a pretty sweet spot. GGG likely will have too much pride to vacate and Charlo as interim champion could get 40% of the purse.

Jacobs left after losing his belt. Khan doesn't have a belt.

The Degale/Selby show was set up by Haymon. Haymon is moving his weight behind Warren now because Hearn is trying to infiltrate the US.

Who exactly left with a belt?

Mikey is so negative towards Lomachenko. All I know is that if Loma were saying similar things the majority of people, especially Garcia fans, would be calling Loma a ducker, etc.

I don't think Mikey is scared but come on...

If I were Spence I would call Mikey's bluff.
Mikey called out Thurman and when they were next to each other he seemed pretty quiet. That was funny.

ggg likely won’t have the belt after 5/5. I don’t see your point.

u mean DeGale was set up by Haymon. Selby signed a three fight deal AFTER that last fight. He’s locked in with Selby. So there goes that IBF belt. Just like there went Beterbievs IBF belt.

I have no opinion on who will win, but GGG is the betting favorite, so I'm not sure I see the logic in saying he'll likely lose. If that's your personal hunch, that's fine. I don't like to argue opinions. I respect your prediction.

I don’t see your point.

The point is that Charlo is sitting in one of the best spots in the division. He gets an easy win for the interim title and then gets a big dollar showdown with GGG with a nice slice of the pie. Or, if Canelo upsets GGG, Canelo likely refuses the WBC title and Charlo becomes the champion.

There's no way in hell Canelo would want to put up with IBF mandatories, so Haymon likely sends the other Charlo after that belt in the next year or so. Haymon is constantly grooming replacements for the belts so his guys can move up and capture more belts. It's like a virus. That's why he's constantly holding eliminators to create a backlog so other mandatories can't break through.
