    You lie.
    Loma earned his spot to be considered p4p.
    Rigo was just one of them wins to reach this consensus.

      Loma vs Rigo took place because of diehard Rigotards demanding it.


      Mikey vs Spence is taking place because of the delusional Mikey. not even his brother and father want that fight.

      Rigotards said Arum would duck, Loma jaw would get broken. size didn't matter blah blah blah..

      In this Mikey/Spence fight there is nobody sane giving Mikey a shot.

      therefore it is two different circumstances that cannot be compared.

      Loma himself didnt give himself much credit for beating Rigo so his haters can rest easy. but me personally i gave Loma 100% credit because Rigo and his fans begged for it.

      nobody is begging to see Mikey get curb stomped by Spence.

        So you’re just gonna make up a lie just like that ?? Smh. Come on sir bring facts to an argument not lies. Dont be like most everyone else on this site.

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.
          Excellent post, top to bottom, especially the bolded part. Green K, bro.

            Hahaha...He does favor Louis Farrakhan quite a bit. However, I do believe if Mikey and Spence fought, he wouldn't get the credit. Then again, that's the name of the game in our sport we so wholeheartedly love.

              I have no problems with this. Let Mikey get ko'd and his delusions ruined.

                I get where he is coming from, but it's not really the same

                  These two fights are entirely different. Rigo could have fought Loma at 126,but he priced himself out and ducked. When he did fight Loma there was a 7 pound weight different on fight night. Most of Rigo fans thought he was going to school Loma. After he lost his fans either abandoned him or made excuses for him.

                  Spence will be bigger, stronger and a solid favorite even by the most dedicated Garcia fans. When Mikey loses even his own fans will expect it and give him credit for stepping up two classes. Spence will not really have much to gain beating him, it’s pretty much a foregone conclusion. Similar to Canelo vs Khan.

                    It’s called white privilege.

                    Now watch the white folks say “ uh uh that doesn’t exist “

                    Watch
