Was Mikey’s first attempt at Welterweight a fluke?

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Styles make fights... there’s definitely guys he could beat and against the right opponent he could win a title. However there’s certain guys he would have absolutely no chance against which was shown in the Spence fight.

Mikey should go to 140 IMO.

He looked better because they lowered his level of opposition. Vargas has always been a B level welterweight. Imagine if it was Thurman,Spence,pac,Porter,Danny,or Crawford landing those same shots on garcia. Can garcia hold his own against the regular welters? Sure,he showed that last night. Can he beat the top 6? No,I really don't think so. I'd even favor ugas and the guy who gave Crawford trouble over garcia,due to size and power.

Good post Mike. You are 100% right, in those examples he gave it was the level of opposition that gave those guys trouble. And even in Garcia you can see how the size difference gives him a bit of problems even against those guys who aren't considered top tier. I really hope Mikey moves back down to at least 140 but with his talks of wanting the Pacquiao and Spence rematch it doesn't look like he will. I mean his own brother is telling him he doesn't belong at welterweight.
