Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia: I'd Love The Pacquiao Fight - But I Gotta Earn It

[Oldskoolg]

Earn it. Imagine that. Why can't Crawford admit that?

Well Crawford is considered p4p#1 and an undefeated 3 weight world champion and reigning title holder at the same weight.....

Pac is a PBC fighter lol.

While the OP is just being a bigoted haymon hater, it does seem Hearn and dazn are making a push to sign Pacquiao after his next fight with PBC. Knowing dazn they will probably throw a $100m 2 fight contract at many to get him to sign in hopes he brings in the Filipino American fan base that only watches boxing if there is a popular Filipino fighting. Hearn has his eye on any group in the USA that out of nationalism will follow a particular boxer....it’s all about those subscriptions

No just do like Ustiff. He's only had one bum heavyweight fight and wants his shot already.

Garcia has gone punch drunk. He could not whip his natural division right now. Lomachenko would use him as a mop.

I agree García should fight Crawford

That was his own undoing. He could have stayed active if he wanted to. The reason why he wasn't as active because he was broken. That loss to Erroll Spence broke him both mentally and spiritually. He simply lost his will.

I agree with some of this to an extent. I do think his will was broken DURING that Spence fight. At whatever point, he realized her couldn't win. But I don't think he's ruined. I think taking time off was the right thing to do. What trainer would throw a fighter right back out there after getting destroyed? But people forget the degree of difficulty that the Spence fight was. In hindsight it a foolish thing to attempt. But you never know until you try. I commend him for that. Also, if he wants to try to make a showing at WW (which I don't think is best for him, but it's not MY call to make), the time off is much needed. Let some of that weight settle on the body. One loss doesn't end a career EVERY time. The jury is still out! Unlike another poster stated

Spence put a bad beaten on Garcia. He’s delicious.

[Nomadic]

He was a punching bag for Spence, definitely has to earn it.

Go for the KO Mikey! Vargas is going to struggle with that weight, so I say go hard in the 8th!

[P4Pdunny]

Get past Vargas first and look good doing it
