Mikey should have picked someone easier at 147, shame on Spence for taking the fight too but Mikey could have kept his record and taken a belt home. I guess that was his whole point I guess taking a challenge etc.

No, they said Linares would walk through Loma, would be too big, too strong, etc. Instead, he damn near quit. And Mikey would do the same.
Edited to show all that matters. Mikey doesn't like the jab even if it doesn't have power because he isn't going to do jack about it thrown in his face, as we saw with Spence. Spence was throwing with power and Mikey was still tentative. Loma will at least put snap on it.Comment

Much respect to García and yeah he looked foolish but @ least he got in the ring.
Porter almost lost to Ugas for 1.2 million and Thurman was almost stopped by Josesito López for 500K.
Mikey made 3 million and took punishment as most expected but so did Thurman and Porter.Comment

I don't understand the science of weight cutting but from what I've heard it's not easy. Mikey won't be able to come down 12 pounds that easily because that's muscle mass he packed on and he'd have to get his body accustomed to the change again. I think he should slowly go back down if anything. Maybe take a comeback fight at 140 against a light touch and then 138 and so on. I think he should face at least one soft touch if not two before facing a top name again. Mikey was just not Mikey at 147. The added weight really didn't alter his abilities.Comment
