    Let me pick up a belt here at 140 while I duck Linares, drop that because the IBF wont BS with me with this dangerous mandatory, ( but I still got my WBC 140 diamond belt tho ) so I can hang out at 135 now that Linares is no longer my mandatory, and I dont have to rush into anything and take Easters title. Well played.

        cherry picking really is an art. swoop from 135 to 140 then back to 135. oh wow he fought lipinets and then easter how impressive! way more impressive than beating the top 3 guys in his division like the coward ggg! if he had just stayed still he would have fought linares but all that moving weights actually impresses people even if it leads to worse fights!

              great decision by Mikey. The best fighters are at 135 and 147. As long as mikey can still make weight makes no sense to stay at 140 when you have better fights at 135 and he's too small right now for 147. Try and get the winner of Linares/Loma.

                Maybe he wanted to confirm the fight with Easter was possible before he committed to staying at 135?
                He knew the fight with Easter Jr. is available because Easter Jr. has been calling Mikey out for a while now. It is time to fight.

                    Mikey-EasterJr, Linares-Lomachenko, and Baranchyk-Lipinets for the IBF 140lbs belt, with the winner of that fight fighting Rellikh for his WBA 140lb belt, before waiting on Prograis to wreck Ramirez for the WBC 140lb belt.

                      You mean 140. I agree I wanted Mikey to go back down to 135 after the Broner fight but he stood at 140 to fight Lipinets? Changed his mind a bunch of times and hopefully finally decided to just drop to 135.

                      Good fights at 135, absolutely.

                      Regis Prograis is the name for him at 140.

                      147, a lot of names but I think those dudes are too big.
                      Good catch, I meant 140. Oh yeah, 147 there'd be tons of fights but he just made it to 140 he's not jumping that high so quick so we'll keep our fingers crossed for the Loma-Linares winner.
