Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia: I Want To Prove I'm Better Than Errol Spence!

[JWHardin]

Correct me if I am wrong, but I read that Mikey has fought his last 3 out of 4 fights at 140? If true, they shouldn't be making it out to be jumping 2 weight classes. Its a 7 pound jump.

I commend Mikey for moving up, but let's be real about this challenge. He has the skills to be competitive, but until he accomplishes that, I won't give him the praise for it. Several fighters have moved up in the past at bigger jumps in weight.

This guy better sign to fight Spence, for all his past years of boasting he's reaching new levels. Just actually fight him and I will give him loads of respect, win or lose.

Miley will taste defeat soon. Too small for welterweight

If he does truly fight Spence, I will give him credit. If he suddenly "comes to his senses", it will be no different than cotto, Linares etc.

All eyes are on him right now. He talks the talk, let's see if he finally walks the walk.

If he walks away from Spence and concentrates on Loma instead, that also will be acceptable. If he walks away from Spence and fights another Zlaticanin, then **** him.

No we shouldn’t hate him for being ambitious and having a crack. Too many boxers protected and fail to chase their dreams, Loma is one and this guy is another. What’s the point of being like Wilder and fighting 38 bums and still people doubting you, let’s give some credit to the kid for having heart and courage.

We talkin about if he suddenly holds off the plan.

Either way, he shouldn’t be hated imo. Unless his next fight is against an overmatch opponent.

This is a tricky move. It's good that Garcia is aware that it's a risk and backs himself, but he might be over-reaching taking on Spence.
No one including even the most hardcore fans are demanding he make this fight, so he's only doing it to prove to himself mainly, that he can take on such an assignment and win.
There's plenty of other fights out there, I just wish they could make this fight with Loma.

Call Al or STFU, attention hoe.

He takes a knee or he falls flat on his face. We will let him decide fight night. Personally I believe he plays ‘ FIGHT NIGHT CHAMPIONS ‘ on PlayStation 4 and Robert decides to be Spence and Mikey is obviously himself. Robert F#ucks him up so badly as Spence that it gives Mikey cold feet and he calls off the fight and blames Eddie Hearn and Joshua

Haha! Good post bro. That said, I would be hella surprised if Mikey took a knee but then again, I am not the one getting ripped to the body by Spence's hooks so it's easy for me to say. Peace.

Can't knock Mikey here.

I think Spence is too big for him, Spence has a great skillset but if they were evenly sized I can see a great fight because Mikey will give anyone the business but Spence is just too big.

But even if he looses, props to Mikey. We need more fighters taking on big challenges, and fans need to drop the zero obsession.

Im not gonna hate on Mikey either way. Funny how they bash Mikey for fighting Broner but didnt bash Loma for Linares. Broner smoked the dude who TKO'd Linares.

And anyone who knows boxing should know Lipinets is not an easy out! I expect him to pick up another belt here shortly.

And who can Lipinets beat at 140 that is currently a champion? And the Broner Mikey fought looks like a shot fighter where as Linares looks as good as he has ever looked
