Mikey Garcia says he will only fight 3 BIG fights then retire!

[UNBIASED BOXING]

He's probably going to want to fight Pacquiao and Lomachenko.

You guys actually believe when boxers say they will retire?? lol. Mikey will be home bored one day after a year layoff then make his return to the ring. Boxing is in his blood its a family business for the garcias. Remember manny said like 6 years ago he was gonna retire for his mom....And here we are....hes still fighting to this day.

Should've realized that this was a troll thread, but will answer anyway.

There's a difference between three BIG fights and three fights.

Even if you count the Spence fight, the BIG fights for Mikey likely include Lomachenko to seal the lightweight division, a fight with Manny Pacquiao, a fight with Regis Prograis to seal things at 140lbs. For his size, that's basically it in the current crop.

Beyond that, its unlikely that he gets those fights all back to back; a fight with Richard Commey for the IBF 135lb belt likely gets mixed in before Lomachenko, some big venue fights at 140lbs would be nice too, etc.

Mikey isn't the type of fighter who will have to have the fight beat out of him to finally retire, but he's not leaving tomorrow either

Good luck Mikey

He is selling his undefeated record to Errol Spence.

Clearly one of the better fighters out there - I just find it hard to be interested in any of this since he's constantly talking about retiring. I really hope he can offer something special in these fights, I want to be proven wrong

[R-Hand Southpaw]

This is basically Garcia admitting he will never fight lomachenko. You dont go from 135 to 147 then back to 135.

Mikey is probably gonna fight spence and then Pacquiao.

Whoever his 3rd fight will be will 100% be a cherry pick. Whos old and has a big name between 140-147?

Maybe Khan if he Khan can get his **** together.

mikey seems different though.. he's had a lot of fights but aint really make that big money yet. so i can see where he's going with this. he's not gonna keep doing these regular fights for $1-2mil for years to come. he wants to make $10+mil each fight then calls it quit. mikey doesnt strike me as the fighter that will stay around for longer than he should.

[BoxingIsGreat]

I think he gets KOed by Spence and KOs Loma and fights whoever makes him the most money for his last fight.

Maybe Davis if he still standing and fighting at 135.

I don't know if Mikey would come close to KOing Loma after Spence is done with him, win (highly unlikely) or lose. By then, keep also in mind, Loma would be more seasoned and comfortable at lightweight. Skills pay bills. Loma by decision or TKO. This fight might never happen.

Good luck to Mikey but Spence is not a smart way to start his three-fight retirement tour.

We'll see, loads of fighters say it.

David Haye was meant to retire at 30 and we watched him get flattened this year.
