    When Oscar left Arum IIRC his golden boy promotional company had already been active in boxing promotions. It was Top Rank in association with Golden Boy Promotions. Later DLH realized his name was big enough to promote itself without Top Rank.

    Also Oscar was better prepared to leave. He was the face of boxing at the time. To this day Oscar could walk into an LA fitness here in Dallas and be recognized. Mikey wouldn’t be able to get someone to yield the treadmill to him.

      Would you prefer that he be like Terence Crawford and let Arum build him up safely against the likes of Luis Collazo?
      I would prefer he fought his mandatory then unify with Lomanchenko. Lomanchenko would have beat him also but it's nothing like the beating Spence will give him. He's to small for welterweight. Porter is his height also but Porter is naturally strong and big frame. Former football player. Garcia has the body frame of a lightweight

        Lomachenko said he wasn't going to fight Mikey coming off of surgery. That Pedraza was next.

        Mikey can't sit around waiting on him.

          IMO Easter would beat Linares. Linares has no chin.

                He could have fought Linares and then topped that off with Loma and been undisputed p4p in the world. No instead he will now because known as that arrogant little guy that got tumbled by half good Spence.
                Dude go find you a programming blog cause you obviously don't know **** about boxing.
