    Becoming 5 div champ was hard to achieve in the past. Heck, even 3 div champ was hard to achieve too. Remember J C Chavez?

    But I’m not so sure nowadays. Guys like Garcia and Broner seem to make it look easy already.

      Five division champ is no joke. But I'm sure Mikey can do it if he acclimates to the weight naturally. I think the Spence jump was a bit premature. If he takes his time maybe he can make it happen and be like a Pacquiao who's smaller but highly skilled. Of course Pacquiao is faster and had better lateral movement but Garcia also has his tools. I think he just has to take his time. His body didn't react well to him at 147 against Spence.

      If he does win a belt at 147 I would hope it's against a stiff opponent and not the weakest champ in the division.

        Yes they made 4 division champ look easy but going for their 5th division is very very hard for them. For broner to win a title at 154 is almost impossible. until now only hearns, floyd and leonard had done it

          For Broner, it may be hard yes. But for Mikey, he's just one step away from it. And it's not really that hard for him. As I mentioned earlier, he made a wrong turn in Spence but he can try again, against another. Maybe not now, maybe in a few years, he might do it again. How is old now, 31? He'd still in shape for the next 2 or 3 years. He can still fight for it if he desperately needs to.

            I qgree. mikey is capable of getting his 5th division but he need to pick his opponent carefully and if he successfully made it he will become one of the very few to achieved it.
