Comments Thread For: Robert Garcia: Pacquiao Wanted a Fight Before Facing Mikey

[IceTrayDaGang]

Broner has absolutely ZERO track record to say that he is "tough" for any A level fighter, especially north of 140 pounds. Hell, a B level fighter in Jesse Vargas got out to a nice lead and leaked oil to a draw. Broner is what he is. Please don't make him out to be this boogeyman killer that is just waiting to hit his stride and put it all together...lol You betting on a 3-legged horse in that regard.

and mikey has???? who is saying broner is a killer??? the fvvvk?

im just saying that mikey didnt really put a beating on broner. if manny wanted a tune up, we would have gone with a weaker opponent instead of broner.

Follow the money. Broner is low risk/high reward and brings a guaranteed sold out gate to the table. Then factor in Pac's last fight was in Malaysia, a $20M debt to the U.S. IRS etc. I could see Broner making the trip overseas to fight Pac, but can't see Mikey doing that as easily as he has more bargaining power than Broner. Pac is probably only going to fight back in Vegas for something guaranteed at $50M or more (where that $20M IRS debt gets absorbed withheld) and the only 2 dudes that could produce that for Pac would be Mayweather 2 or maybe Khabib.

I knew Broner wouldnt be **** at 140+ when he fought that tune up right after Maidana against some bum journeyman. He hit that guy with his best punches and didnt faze dude one bit. The fight went the whole twelve. The very next fight the journeyman got stopped by Amir Khan.

"from what i heard"... yeah someone is not telling the truth!

as if mikey is levels above broner or something lol. both of these guys are pretty much in the same boat.

they will be used as "tune ups" for the better fighters because they are not completely bad fighters but they arent elite either.

mikey and broner in the same boat?? dafuq is you smokin lol

Mikey shut his ass out how tf are they in the same boat?

Neither one of them can punch at 140.

imo broner is tougher than mikey... why would pac fight broner as a tune up for mikey?? makes no sense!!

Wtf is wrong with you casuals

Mikey beat the fuuck outta broner yet broner is “ tougher” wow!!!!!

So I guess Ortiz was more skilled than Floyd too despite losing. Lol

Mikey isn't elite?

I have him top 10 P4P right now.

i really dont like putting crap on boxers, however, garcia and co do a lot of talking... its starting to get a little irritating as well. first he called out spence, that fight is never happening. now they saying that pac doesnt want a fight right away with mikey? like he needs a tune up... this is manny pac, has just had a fight 3 months ago, and has had almost 70 pro fights. garcia camp feeding off big names.

Sounds like hes judging "Elite" of all time instead of current events. EVERYONE has Mikey P4P top 10 except him.

Punching power does not constitute their class, even if Broner hypothetically had more punching power than Mikey, Mikey is still leaps and bounds above Broner in class.
