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

[Butch.McRae]

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.

How is this a duck? Loma won't be ready to fight Mikey for at least two fights. He's already said this much. So how is Mikey ducking him? Lol

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.

To his credit, Loma hasn't said anything about a tune up. Let's keep it 100- Beltran is a tuneup for Loma.

Yesterday I suggested Mikey defend against whichever mando he needs t take care of around the same time Loma/Beltran fight. Then have the winners unify in early 2019.

Simple. Easy. But because of exclusive network deals and Bob holding a grudge (which is understandable) that will not happen.

Mikey vs Pacman fight will be very competitive while it last.

I tip Mikey but Pacquiao isn't done yet.

I think they already know what Bob's response to a potential Loma-Garcia fight is. We know Bob isn't going to allow Mikey to leave him and make good money while beating one of his best fighters. Not sure why though, that fight would definitely attract big money from ESPN.

More money, but NO props! If Mikey beats him for a WW title, the haters will call it "a gift!" Go for broke Mikey! Spence vs. Garcia! Make it happen!

A mikey/loma fight is very winnable for Loma. The problem is if he loses where does he go? Up to 140 to face Ramirez and Prograis?

135 may be the max for Loma. He is 30 years old so this is probably the top weight class for him. After Beltran and possibly Manny in a CW fight,then things get interesting. Hopefully some of the top guys at 130 will move up to give him a challenge.
