Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia Still Aims To Become Five-Division World Champion

[EL_GRINGO]

why would he drop 2 divisions?

He should have fought Loma before Spence for undisputed, as far as i know,Spence hasn't gone to 154 so the fight would still be there now

[-DSG-]

who is he going to beat at 147?

Winner of pacquiao-Thurman.

I'm keen to see if he will go beyond the PBC stable. He hasn't done since his comeback, and PBC doesn't have much to offer at 140.

he needs to understand he's too small for 147 and slow,,,,just stay at 135 and 140,,i mean nothing wrong with being a 4 weight champion,,he tried at 147 and lost,so what,he lost to a great fighter,,,i think there are good fights at 140,teofimo lopez will be moving up soon,winner of the tournament at 140,,,

Please no. This guy can`t compete at 147. he is no Duran or Pacquiao.

Mikey should have fought Pacman before Spence. The Battle of Big Heads!

Before the WBSS, Relikh and Baranchyk only fought on PBC cards! Prograis only went to ESPN for Ramirez (no contract with TR), but he swerved him! All other Prograis' fights were on PBC! Marrio Barrios (23-0 w/ 15 KOs) is WBA #1 Contender! He fights on PBC too, just won in February! He's trained by Virgil Hunter!

ok, Prograis fits the bill then - that would be a good fight (assuming he ends up with the belts).

Worst case scenario is that the PBC boys figure Mikey needs to develop some credibility at 147, so they need a relatively well-known name that isn't Porter/Spence/ Garcia/Thurman, who Mikey can beat easily, but can be dressed up as a credible threat, who is a free agent at the moment so not tied to any of the other outfits, who also dreams of winning a world title:

'bring, bring..hey Amir, whatya doing in September....

Prograis is signed to DiBella, and not signed to Haymon, nor Arum, but I think he wants Ramirez when he's done! I think Mikey vs. Danny would be awesome, but I'm not sure what Mikey wants! Mikey vs. Omar Figueroa Jr. would be great at any weight! I've never seen Omar in a boring fight, and he's still undefeated! Lastly, Mikey vs. Mario Barrios is good too, b/c if Mikey wins (Barrios is big, 6ft. w/ 74" reach) he becomes the WBA #1, and the WBA would love to make the WBSS winner (who will come out of tourney with the WBA and IBF belts) face Mikey Garcia! Prograis might want Mikey more now that Ramirez already swerved him once! We'll see!

I agree with all of this. Where is the money at 140 though? Something tells me Mikey is motivated by money and ego these days. He's just waiting on Bob to send the big offer before he starts the hard process of boiling down to 135.

Could unify the division at the same time Loma does 135 and fight each other as Undisputed to make that fight massive, that'd be cool.
