Comments Thread For: Robert Garcia: I Want Mikey-Loma, But Spence is Easier To Make

[Bronx2245]

If Mikey talked all that Spence talk, and then fights Pacquiao, he will lose some cool points with me! I understand the Pacquiao money, but it's not cool to talk about taking fighting A for 6 months, and then fight B!

I can't believe Lomachenko will let this Pacquiao money slip away! It might be there if Pacquiao wins, but if he loses, that's money down the drain! Why would you want to fight Pedraza over Manny Pacquiao, who is coming off a KO victory? That's money in the bank!

Pac is way too fast for Mikey... Mikey only chance is ko...

I’d support pac no matter what, but I don’t like him to take this fight.
He is way faster before than Mikey, he is still faster now. But would that be enough?
Mikey is patient ala Marquez and is a very good counterpuncher. Both attributes are Pac’s weakness.
At his age he still wants a war, and Mikey will give him none.
I can see Pac hesitating most of the night once he tastes a few good leather from Mikey.
In before pac will just rise to 2nd and 3rd gear once he’s getting outbox, it is very unlikely he can still do that now.
And his chin is suspect as well.

If it happens I’ll support Pac, but i’d be scared as hell for him at this point in his career.
Even 2 yrs ago it’ll be a diff story.

Khan, loma, broner are very good money options for him.

Here we go again with these bold statements. Can’t wait for you to call out Wilder

come on fight loma!

Mikey only has one chance to fight Pacquiao. He can always fight Spence later, in fact he will get way more money to fight Spence if he beats Pacquiao first. As a fan, I also want to see Pacquiao vs Mikey and Loma vs Mikey most. Spence-Mikey will be nice AFTER that. It's so ******, in every case where boxing should rush to make a fight, they wait, but in the few situations like Spence-Mikey and Fury-Wilder where they should wait, suddenly they are in a huge rush. Stop being so ******, Boxing!!!! This one is a wait. Pacquiao vs Mikey would be lit.

I agree with your boxing logic for once Boxing logic. However, I’m tired of Mikey calling fighters out and not fighting them. He has to be made an example out of. Then upcoming boxers in the future will know better.

I salute your honesty

When a fighter is as big as Mikey and he isn't signed to any promoter then it makes it easier to work with anyone, this is why i hope he doesn't sign with Hearn, Mikey is too smart anyways.

He fights Pedrasa he is unified champ in another weight division. Easy fight as well. Then potentially One more fightand he is undisputed champ at 135. Obviously Mikey will have something to say about that. Not to mention I don’t think Pacquiao can make 140 and will insist on a catchweight of 143 perhaps. Loma doesn’t need an old Pacquiao on his resume and the idea of moving up a further 8 lbs for a lengendary fighter that unfortunately he won’t get much kudos in beatingisntworth it regardless of how much he can potentially make

He's not signing with Hearn. But he can't make a deal with Arum either. Would be very tough.

If beating Pedraza for a unified champ in another division is a big deal, then I guess Mikey winning a 5th title @ 147 by beating Pacquiao must be spectacular! Seriously, Loma vs. Pacquiao @ 140 would be HUGE! You know how casuals love stars! Manny is still a star, and he just won a title via KO! Manny said he can make 140, and Freddie and Arum both say Manny can make 140! As far as Pac being old, just look at what happened to Pacquiao's career after he beat Oscar de la Hoya! ZOOM! Loma can have the same thing!
