    How did demanding for Thurman work out for him? See he finally stopped saying his name because he realized it pointless. Arum has already made it clearly the fight is not happening anytime soon. Even Crawford knows this, which why he himself has not straight out said he wants Spence next. Both fighters know this is their legacy fight, and are going to milk it till all the belts are on the line, because both know the other is not going to lose until they run into each other late next year, early 2020.

    And Yes Garica should be calling out Loma.

      Everyone was saying Rigo would expose the Loma kid. Everyone was pushing for the Rigo/Loma fight.

      Bobfather/Loma is ducking Rigo doe. He'll end up like Donaire doe.

      In this case, it's the exact opposite. No one sees Mikey winning the fight.

          Maybe there were some people who were saying that before, but by the time the fight rolled around...come on.

            This!

            Rigo was God. He could do no wrong.

            Garcia, we all know, is going to die against Spence. I look forward to it.

              Again I ask you why would he move up messing up all the potential big fights he's finally in line to get? And also causing a change in his body (Because he would have to bulk up):

              Look at the size difference with both of them within weeks of having a fight (He would have to bulk up):


              To then have to lose that muscle to go back down to 147 where his money fights are at.

              That is just asking for trouble, for his weight/health getting back down to 147.

                Alot of people were saying it... People were saying Loma was running from him and that he was too good for Loma.

                There's no double standard here.

                  I agree he shouldn't go to 154. 147 is ome of the best division with the biggest names so he shouldn't move up.

                    ive not read much of a backlash in the media for this. i do remember golovkin getting slaughtered for signing to fight brook though
