Is Mikey on a HOF trajectory?

[Dr.Cool]

That maybe but also Mikey ducked Uchiyama, Gamboa, Linares and Cotto.

So Spence also ducked Cotto? Mikey didn't sign his career over to ODLH.

How did Mikey duck Linares??? Linares would only fight him on hbo. Instead of fighting for whoever paid the most, Linares agreed to fight Mikey after each had one more fight. Then as soon as they both had their fight, Linares backed out to fight on a network that is not hbo. That is Linares ducking.



Bob Arum says that Mikey Garcia won't be fighting Yuriorkis Gamboa, and that HBO isn't interested in Garcia facing Takashi Uchiyama. Will Mikey end up in Macao next?

That is why Mikey left TR. So he can fight better opposition. Gamboa demanded 50-50 so Arum said no. hbo wouldn't pay for Uchiyama.

So how exactly did Mikey duck any of those guys???

LOOOL. So Linares "ducked" Mikey ... in order to fight Loma, who was universally regarded as a much better fighter than Mikey. (Higher on all p4p lists).

Meanwhile, Mikey fights AB & Lipnets. Who are NOWHERE NEAR any p4p lists.


LOLLL, i bet you that 9 year olds beat you at chess.

Linares???

Yes, Mikey fought a champ at 140, something Loma refuses to do. And he fought Broner.

You are really stretching here.

ORLANDO SALIDO
You just ktfo!!!

Keep trying though!

mikey clearly ducked linares. it was pathetic. a "better offer" so laughable. we all know haymon pays these guys millions behind the official purses but mikey took the easier option even though haymon would have paid him millions regardless.

Cmon, if you couldnt recognize that Juan Ma was washed when he fought Mikey, I dont know what to tell you. Tell me, after Salido wrecked him, what did Juan Ma ever do in boxing?

After Salido, every halfway decent fighter Juan Ma faced wrecked him too , Mikey just happened to be next in line after Salido.

Loma isnt HOF for losing to Siri. After losing to Siri in HIS SECOND PRO FIGHT, Loma has only beat the likes of GRJ, Axeman, Rigo & Linares.

You have difficulty with complex thoughts, dont you?

Everything is like "duhh, he won a strap in 4 divisions, he must be a HOF" or "well he beat Siri, so he must be better than the dude who lost to Siri"

which top 10 fighter did lipinets beat??? loma has had one fight at 135. he refuses to do it lol. would anyone care if loma beat lipinets at 140? that would be worth nothing. you have such low standards.

How does Loma refuse to fight at 140? He just had his first fight at 135 and is sidelined through injury. Garcia refuses to fight at 147 then. He also refuses to fight at 154 (he actually flat out did refuse a Cotto fight which is fact based)

[Motofan]

With how the Hall is set up he gets in now. By time he is retired I believe he will have earned it outright though.

I dont even get into "who ducked who," its too much he said, she said. I just take fighters resume as they actually are.

Mikey v Linares was a fight that could have happened. It didnt.

Instead, Linares fights Loma, a top p4p fighter.

Meanwhile, Mikey fought Lipinets (or as Dr. Fool calls him "A CHAMPION AT 140", as if that means anything). Lipinets is an OK fighter, perfectly adequate as a PAPER CHAMP at 140, but it doesnt compare to Loma.

We could get into "Did Mikey duck____" w Cotto ...Bud... Linares...Loma.., maybe soon Spence. BUt why bother.

Just take his resume for what it is. And what it is RIGHT NOW, is borderline HOF.

And see Im not a Mikey hater (Im Mexican after all). I WANT Mikey to step it up. If he fought Loma, as much as I respect Loma, Id root for Mikey.

Im just tired of these fake call outs.

Lipinets barely beat that Japanese dude to win the vacant title and dude is trying to say he's a better fighter than Loma or Crawford.

He's an example of why this place sucks these days. Too many fanboys and trolls.

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

he needs to fight at least one of the names on there first to even be consider, lol. from the looks of it, aint gonna happen.

lomachenko ducking, crawford ran up a division, spence is calling up youtubers crying cause they are giving Mikey props and want them to stop talking about Mikey.


Mikey is the truth!
