Reason why he didnt fight Mikey

[RetroSpeed05]

I think Linares is good fighter but he cant handle a bigger fighter he would have not handled Mikey who has the power and boxing ability.

Look at his last fights-

Crolla x2, Campbell- not big punchers, and had close 1st fight with Crolla and Campbell fight was close despite Campbell getting dropped,

Gesta- who?

Loma- smaller fighter coming up in weight, not a lot of power who tore his shoulder in the second round and still manged to KO him.

Cotto- lol

I know some thought it would be close or Mikey was ducking but here's another pressure fighter that just blasted him.

Linares cant handle "Mexican style". (Check his record)

Everyone knew linares was nothing special. He was only hyped up by loma fans, and the British for beating their fighters

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

He said it the lil prelouge video before his Lomachenko fight and im paraphrasing "I turned down the mikey fight to fight lomachenko because lomachenko is the easier fight, mikey is the more difficult fight thats why I turned down mikey fight"

Lets not try to change history or the narrative.

The WBC ordered Mikey Garcia to fight his mandatory in Linares late 2017. Mikey is the guy who didnt want the fight. He couldnt come to terms with Golden boy who wanted him to sign with him and he dropped the fight.

He claimed he got better offers and that they, Linares and himself could have a fight in between to make the fight bigger aka Linares vs Gesta and Mikey vs Lipinets.

Keep in mind it was announced Dec 14 2017 that Mikey would be fighting Lipnets. Linares didn't even start negotiating with Lomachenko didnt even start until December 2017.

When Mikey beat Lipnets instead of fighting his mandatory he was granted permission to unify which takes president over mandatories.

And when Linares lost to Lomachenko that ended that.

Mikey went where he says the money was. The dude didnt even care about fighting Linares one bit. Thing is too, hes a hypocrite because the most money would be made unifying 135 with Lomachenko on ESPN which he can fight for because hes a free agent.

The guy thinks he can be the best fighter in tbe world by picking off paper champs instead of fighting the best fighters at his own weight class?

And then the guy has the balls to claim that he wants to be the best? Legacy?

Lmfao

Mikey would savagely K.O him very early.

Linares would be the easiest big name opponent for Mikey.

mikey is the one that didn't take the fight. he said he received a better offer to fight lipinets which is either bollocks or haymon is crazy for giving him more to fight lipinets and steering him in that direction

Someone knows the truth!

Cano punches twice as hard as Loma and Mikey combined... The muhfücka is a 147 pounder.
