Comments Thread For: Robert Garcia: If No Mayweather, Pacquiao Wants Mikey Next

[-Kev-]

I really like both Mikey and Spence, but because of Mikey's desire to fight the best, I would like him to succeed but it's gonna be tough. I think Spence beats him but i'd like to be wrong. They're equally good but Spence is bigger, it's gonna come down to their size basically and Spence has that over him.

Mikey should go after this fight instead of Spence.

Figured a pu55y like you would say something like this. You think just like a coward in every situation.

I want a copy. Bet he chickens out if Mikey wins. All talk.

You know he will! 😆

Did you say mikey was faster than Manny?

Yes! Mikey Garcia is ten years younger, lighter with much better reflexes and hand to eye coordination than the Pacman. In addition, Pac is 40 years old with over 70 fights under his belt and is no longer the same Pacquiao that we have all come to know and love over these past 10 or 15 years or so.

I'm not bad mouthing Pac. I love him as much as anybody. However, like all of us in general and boxers in particular our bodies change. For example: His skills set have diminished and are on the decline. I know it's hard and painful for many boxing fans to accept but no athlete remains forever young. In addition, Mayweather is not the same fighter he was 10 or 15 years ago either.

I understand your sentiments precisely. However, I would like for you to take a step back for a moment and think about this for a second.

Just imagine a fighter like Mikey Garcia who is just entering into his prime as Pac has already exited his. So is it too far-fetched for a reasonable people to believe that we cannot expect the same exact version of Manny Pacquiao who was once a young lighting quick and super fast power punching machine to be the same fighter? I don't think so.

In addition, one must understand that this is the shopworn version Pac who will turn 40 years old soon, with just over 70 fights under his belt. He is attempting to defeat a man who is nearly a decade younger than himself; Who has probably the better stamina, hand to eye coordination and reflexes of the two, due to youth as well.

That makes me appreciate Pac even more! IMO hes the best fighter in the last 2 decades... never ducked anyone and weight climbed better than anyone in the sport! Boxing wouldnt have been the same without him... Fn Beast! Good Luck if this fight gets made!

So why even do the damn Spence Jr fight?

why are you so shook of mikey fighting spence? lol mikey fighting a washed up pacquiao does nothing for him tired of these young fighters begging old washed up legends for fights.

[DaBeastO]

Mikey should go after this fight instead of Spence.

lol mikey doesn't need to be fighting an old washed up fighter. even if he wins people will say pac is old.

[GhostofDempsey]

Like I said on another thread Manny will have to walk through fire again to get a fight with Mayweather. After Broner and Mikey he will likely have to face Thurman too. Floyd likes his meat tenderized first before getting in the ring with them.

[RuleOfTheSpear]

Mikey look like pudge at 140. He'll look worse at 147.

I think Pac would lose interest fighting Mikey if the latter lose to Spence.

If Mikey somehow wins over Spence, he has the edge over Pacquiao.
When Mikey lose to Spence, Pacquiao vs Mikey will never happen. Pacquiao's next fight would either be Thurman or Porter (Haymon would squeeze whatever's left from Pacquiao to make money; considering it's only a 2-fight deal)

Not Shooked, fan of both, why do this fight when Crawford wants to fight Spence Jr and Loma wants to fight Mikey

Just because I'm a fan don't mean I won't call some of my favorite fighters out on their BS! Top Rank are making both of these guys look like they're Afraid to fight Crawford and Loma IMO

Just a Unnecessary Fight at the moment, something that could be bigger in a year maybe even 2 AFTER Mikey has moved up and had maybe 1 or 2 Fights at 147 before jumping in with Spence Jr
