So Mikey would rather fight Welters than fight Lomachenko?

    Mikey and Loma dont do catchweights and rightly so. Loma has alreadly said publicly that he will not go any higher than 135, and he might drop back down to 130 if he can't get Tank after the Teo fight.

      For his Legacy it's better to be the smaller guy losing to the bigger guy than being the bigger guy losing to the smaller guy just wouldn't look good for him

        that fight had its window and Loma cand Arum didnt want it, Mikey wasnt going to stay around at 135 and wait on Loma like a clown (liek khan did for mawyeather) theirs no gurantee in boxing, Now mikey gets paid more than Lomachenko. Linares turned that fight down, Loma didnt want it and Bob Arum Screaming he wont negotiate with Mikey but idiots still wanted mikey to wait around at 135 for Loma to grow some balls lmfao.

        Idiots.

          Why Can't Lomafako just grow a set and meet Garcia @ 140lbs?

            because 135 is his limit??? and loma has never fought at 140 before... where as for mikey, he's fought at 135 before!!! matter fact, his fight before the spence fight was at 135!!

              fighting and losing to the best welters gives Mikey an out by default..."cause they were bigger, taller, stronger and longer"
              fighting and losing to Loma, at their weight, doesnt give Mikey an out at all.

                Mikey v any of the top dudes at 140 (Taylor, Ramirez, Prograis) would be FIRE, bc all of these dudes throw a lot of punches, giving Mikey opportunities to crank up his counters.

                I'd actually much rather see those fights than Loma. I think we'd see less action.

                But theres more $$$ at 147. So I understand why Mikey is there.

                  Are you saying then that Garcia is too big for Lomafako?

                    I would rather see him clean out the 140 division and make it his own like Aaron Pryor did.
