Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia Confirms Talks With Team Pacquiao, Wants Spence

[Lemonhead_Jeff]

I forgot how kany loses does he have? 1?? 2??

He's a half decent boxer, but it's not the kind of opponent
we want to see Lomachenko against. It would have been
quicker and more fun to see Lomachenko beat-up Beltran.
Now Lomachenko has to chase this guy around a bit.

He probably should fight Pac. Better than getting slaughtered by Spence.

To me Manny is still the most exciting fighter of them all in this day and age BY FAR and he actually has been the most exciting fighter there is, for more than a decade now, his hand speed and angles are still incredibly enjoyable to watch, the only thing that has suffered from age is his feet and waist movement, which were ridiculously beyond human in his heyday, but he seems more accurate, powerful, smart and WAY BETTER AT DEFENSE now than then, when he was utterly reckless until JMM almost killed him.

IMHO Lomachenko is highly overrated, his hand speed and angles are nothing compared to even today's version of Manny. I am pretty sure Many would destroy him if they made a fight at welterweight or a catch weight between junior welter and welter.

That would be the most exciting fight possible for me way more interesting and exciting than Mickey vs. Manny, which would be great too but not even close as exciting.

The Spence thing, I have watched Spence fights, frankly I find Spence a very boring fighter, very unidimensional, all physicality and that's it, some sort of a version of GGG but faster, why watch a repeat of Crawford vs. Gamboa or Floyd vs. JMM or Lomachenko vs. Rigondeaux, where the first one demolished the 2nd WAY SMALLER BUT WAY MORE TECHNICAL ONE, just because of physicality, because in reality the winner was at the very least two weight divisions bigger naturally?

Any of those three fights, if the abusive super-bigger cowardly bully had fought the other guy IN HIS REAL WEIGHT DIVISION, he would have easily lost, but of course, you fight a guy way smaller with zero power, so no matter how many cool combinations he connects on you, totally ignored by the judges in the case of JMM vs. Floyd, and totally useless in the case of Gamboa because he just couldn't ever hurt the super-bigger bully, the tiny guy just doesn't have a chance in hell.

Manny vs. Loma would be an awesome fight IMHO and it should be done ASAP before Manny finally retires. That's the most exciting fight today, by far. And then Mickey can fight the winner, which I'd bet would be Manny, instead of commiting suicide to a boring way bigger physically guy such as Spence, which is a totally ****** fight and a totally ****** idea.

The desire to see certain fighter's loss sometimes clouds the judgement to a degree when all semblance of logic is abandoned. On one hand this poster condones size mismatches because bigger fighter wins "on sheer physicality". And then turns around and preaches how awesome a matchup of Manny and Loma at welter would be.

VADA? still talking or thinking Manny's is on PED? either you hate the guy or you're a racist, Manny wasn't proven to be taking PED. All accusations with no proof, even small proof to show. Fighting in Asia is no problem. Manny will beat Mikey in USA or in Asia, hands down

As long as VADA is on board I am all for the fight. We all know Manny couldn't knock out anyone the moment Floyd talks about PEDs then his first knock out came in Asia after so many years where no drug tests were conducted.

Don’t overlook the fact that Pac became a politician, a singer, an actor and a born again Christian the moment Mayweather talked about PEDs, and that’s when Pac lost his killer instinct. Mayweather himself said Pac has a lot of distractions outside the ring, he was still knocking his opponents down but not out because his hunger for boxing was not as intense as it was before the distractions. And Matthysse didn’t get knocked out, he could have continued to fight but he decided to quit.
Even if they fought here in the USA, Matthysse would still quit because he said he couldn’t see after Pac hit his face.

Lucas didn't get knocked out though. He gave up. Fight would have been no difference if it was in the states. Lucas lost that fight by quitting not by a knockout. Unless you believe PEDS helped Manny on how throw a punch?

[Beercules]

He wont fight Pac or Spence.

[Thraxox]

He wont fight Pac or Spence.

He's getting beat up also if he fights either both. Mikey is a bit slow.

[uppercut510]

why not fight Loma? I don't get it
