Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia's Father Wants Him to Fight Pacquiao, Not Spence

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

LOS ANGELES Eduardo Garcia has been involved in boxing for many years. Thus the veteran trainer knows now would be the perfect time for his son, Mikey Garcia, to fight Manny Pacquiao. The Filipino southpaw is a much smaller, older welterweight than Errol Spence Jr. and would afford the younger Garcia an opportunity to make a lot of money, as well as a shot at winning a world title in a fifth weight class.

I think we all get it lol of course that's the wiser way to go.

But we aren't the fighters. The man has his mind made up for whatever reason. He's going to jump in the ring with the lion.

Who knows, he might just pull it off. I have no idea how, but he clearly sees a path to success. He spoke like a man with a lot of confidence on Saturday.

The problem with younger kids is they don’t always listen to their father who often times has more wisdom and sees things differently. It makes sense fighting an icon, beating him, making a lot of money, and securing a title. And then going after Spence. But Mikey won’t listen. But here is the thing, there is no guarantee Mikey beats PAC-LOL!!!!

If its money Mikey is after he'll go after Pacquiao. clearly the guy is obsessed with greatness and becoming pound for pound best.. fck it let him do it.

have the towel ready doe..

Manny is a more winnable fight than Spence. I really like Mikey and get that he wants to get a ww title so he can have a title in a 5th division and then he feels he is the best p4p fighter in the world.

Respect that but I'd prefer he'd go on ESPN and lobby hard for a Loma fight. Bob isn't going to do it but at least put pressure on him. No reason that the 2 of them shouldn't fight each other after Loma unifies with Beltran.

After that, then the Spence/Manny potential fights would be bigger and as fans we will have seen 2 of the top 5 guys in the world fight.

I don't see Pac fighting again in the US unless it's for Mayweather 2 where that $20M IRS debt could just be shaved off the top of another $75M-$100M payday. So Mikey would have to travel to Malaysia or some other b.s. venue where Pac has free reign of every "supplement" unknown to man and VADA lol.

Mikey is trying to fight anybody but Lomachenko. Lame. Stop ducking the best! You have the consensus P4P #1 in your own division, you're naturally 25 pounds bigger than him, it's all there on a silver platter for you to solidify your legacy and become the new P4P #1, but you still won't fight him. Never seen a duck this bad before, not of a non-puncher.

The problem here is the timeline. Loma will have a tune up, then Beltran/Pedraza, then maybe Mikey.

What is Mikey supposed to do until then? That's at least a year away.

Sadly this feels like the truth.
