Mikey Garcia vs Taylor at 02?! WAY Better than Garcia vs Pacquiao!

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Taylor beats Garcia in a similar manner to Spence

[Split Decision]

If anything that's a fight to have in the US.

Mikey is not known in the UK, he won't help sell out a stadium and would ask a big fee to come over that the event couldn't justify. But have that fight in the US and if Taylor wins it takes his popularity, worldwide visibility up a notch. Of course beating Mikey anywhere would be big, but do it in Cali and the demand to come back for the Ramirez fight would be huge

progrias wasnt known either and the o2 was booming last night

Mikey didn't have it all his own way vs Lipinets, the big 4 (TTT/RP/Bara/Ramirez) would all be too much for him imo.

GTFO lol!

Spence is too big for all those guys you mentioned let alone Mikey. Mikey beats all 140lbs now. I want to be proven wrong. What’s the point of Mikey vs Pacquiao? Taylor and Ramirez are undefeated

[SCEN3RY]

There's a lot of great and profitable fights for Mikey at 140. Ramirez, Prograis, Mikey and Taylor could mix it up for the next 2 years and get good paydays each.

Mikey vs prograis. Taylor vs ramirez. Pacquiao retire.

I knew Prograis Taylor was going to be close. Watched their styles this past week. I had picked Prograis close. Prograis stateside might have been different. In theory I’d like to see a rematch cause they delivered a great phonebooth and outside game. However, I still think Mikey beats them both, higher Ring IQ.

Mikey definitely doesn't agree with you, he would much prefer a fight with Pacquiao I am sure.

but mikey garcia is a fraud so why would we do this?

Prograis struggled more with the inside fighting than I thought he would, I want to see how he would cope with Ivan Baranchynk. I mean Ivan was pushing Taylor back I'd just like to see how that one plays out, Ivan is a lot easier to hit but the guy is a bit like Maidana very crude and wild the way he fights.

Because we need to see Mikey get in another fight where he does absolutely nothing for 12 rounds but try to survive. Might as well hang them up after that.

Agreed, it would do as well as that, but JMO, UK fighters can either stay home and try to become so popular they sell out stadiums, do impressive ppv numbers and the rest of the division have to come to them, or go to the US and get a big fight or series of big fights there. I feel like Taylor is the second type and now is the right time to head stateside

Mikey would fill O2 but there was talk of Taylor boxing at one of the huge venues in Scotland at some point and I don't see anyone who is known enough here to do that. Didn't Mikey want $5M before for a fight? Not sure the fight would generate enough for that at the O2
