Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia: I'm Capable of Being a Major Player at 147

[tito_bandito]

Mikey doesn’t have the athletic build to move up to higher weight classes. His power is respectable at 140, but is Timothy Bradley-like at 147. He doesn’t even have the fast twitch muscles or the output to compete with the elite. He should just go back to 140 and wipe out that division. Elie Seckbach is the only one following up with Mikey as if the fans care after that poor performance against Spence. Mikey is a smart fighter, but he needs to step up his athletic game to compete at 147.

Let’s go down the list. He isn’t beating Porter who is relentless, we saw that against Spence. He isn’t beating Crawford. He couldn’t beat Spence. I don’t believe he beats Thurman. Maybe, maybe, he could beat Danny Garcia or Ugas. But both of those fights could go either way. I think he should go back down a division.

Mikey's walking weight is more than 170 pounds. So going back below 140 will require a lot of effort with less reward. He wants the big cheque at 147 specially a fight with Pacman!

No your not Mikey

Mikey will fade into retirement. He can’t beat the top 8 guys in the division. The only way he extends his career is if he gets by Vargas and fights for a made up championship that alphabet boys make up.

A player who f#cks a lot & happens to weigh 147? Sure.

A player as in a top dog at welterweight? Nah.
