Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia: I'll Get 5th Title, I'll Be a Champion at Welterweight!

SPENCE and CRAWFORD will not be losing their titles to MIKEY.They would beat the breaks off of him. He might have a good chance with THIRMAN,PORRER or PAC.

[alexnation]

what a madman. I would be ok with that if he showed a litle sign of resistance against Spence but he didn't.
Go back down and fight Loma. That's the fight everyone wants

[Mister Wolf]

Wants to win vacant titles or fight people who won a vacant belt that have no title defenses. Broner and Garcia are cut from the same cloth right down to showing up in their last fights just to collect a check and run.

If he fought thurman next that would be compeititve imo

Thurman didnt look good last fight. Mikey will have grown into 147 more. His body will be more familiar with the added weight and therefore will perform better.

Mikey hits hard

Thurman hits hard too but mikey is better at blocking punches

Thurman is more agile but when he is running he is just allowing mikey to think. And i think mikey's stamina is a weakness and thurman is not gonna push the pace to exploit that.

Will probably a low output fight and in a fight like that i would prefer the guy with the smarter footwork and guy who fights better when he is allowed to fight in rhythm and that is mikey

As for porter vs mikey,everyone is starting to see how overrated porter is. Great athlete but low boxing iq. He wont get a new trainer which means he wont improve. Probably get worse because he the new stuff he is trying to implement is making him less effective. Would be a super close fight but i expect judges to give more credit to mikey because of crowd influence and he will.probably get a close decision. Will probably buzz porter early and porter wont sustain the output he needs to to win the fight

But mikey should have taken these fights first but he got too caught up with his emotions and fought spence.

I think Thurman would stop Mikey. Keith is explosive between rounds 1-4 and I don’t think Mikey would be able to handle Keith’s power. In fact I think Mikey is tailor made for Mikey.

I also believe that he thought if Manny can do it then so can I.
He got a reality check to what it takes to not just be HOF but to be an ATG.

anyone who knew boxing saw that mikey had no chance. no speed, no footwork, no head movements. all mikey was banking on was his "experience"..

[slimPickings]

Ok folks , stop writing Mikeys obituary.
He lost to a legit opponent. Not the end of the world!
"Fans" are so fickle!!!

[ironlungs]

He's not winning a ww title. When your the smaller guy, you need an advantage. No type of movement/angles, short arms, no speed, not a great offensive fighter, doesn't have enough power to keep bigger guys honest.

[Bjl12]

Its because hes the last big name who just made a big deal about becoming a multi division champion without beating a super champion in a higher weight class.

Am I wrong?

Did you watch Mikey at 147? No way in hell he beats anyone with a super title at that weight unless a title becomes vacant and some scrub wins it.

Like..*ahem*....cough cough, Lipinets at 140. Cough cough.

And?

Who cares about belts? There are like 4-5 "champions" in each weight class. It's a joke.

If you need an organization to tell you whose the best (or among) you cant box or dont understand it.

LW Mikey, Loma
WW Spence Crawford
MW Canelo GGG Danny J
LHW Bivol Kovalev
HW AJ, Fury, Windmills

Those are the top guys at a few popular classes. I don't need some arbitrary group to tell me otherwise. Those are the top guys in their classes

[Bestlefty]

He thought he is bigger than Pac.

Even more funny, the Garcia's thinks they would KO Pac inside nine rounds. Delusional!

As slow as he is, Pac might stop him. It would be like Pac vs Mathysse(w/o no mass), maybe TKO

[SplitSecond]

Mikey had no footwork and no speed prior to moving up? Are you being serious?
