Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia: Pacquiao Can't Complicate Things Like Spence Because He's Smaller

[afont501]

Ridiculous post. The best entertainment a fight can bring is a KO or knockdowns. More often than not, when elite faces elite, the judges are called upon. So when KO or knockdowns are created, entertainment is at its peak!

Dejan - DEVASTATING KO!
Broner - (neither. Bad example)
Lipinets - 7th round knockdown!
Easter - 3rd round knockdown!
Spence - he got exposed
Vargas - 5th round knockdown that was THE fastest I've seen from the time the punch lands, to the time Vargas hit the mat.

That's not enough excitement for you in a 6 fight stretch? It seems to me that people are hating just to hate

I disagree, I believe the reason why Mikey is not there is because of his fighting style. Don't get me wrong, I respect Mikey in what he has achieved in his career.

You know what they say, Styles Makes Fights!!! IMHO Manny will easily beat Mikey and I'll eagerly pay for it on PPV.

Remember when Garcia-Loma was one of those demanded superfights? I think most of us have accepted it will never happen...

I have little to no interest in Garcia vs Pac. I'm not saying it will be a bad fight, I'm sure it will be alright... but meh....

Exactly, Mikey should stay at a lower weight class and fight Loma, if he wants to make a statement....BUT... He knows he'll be outclassed. I wonder who's advising him??!!!!

I think Mikey is advising Mikey at this stage. His family is reported to have said he needs to move back down.

There are great fights with Loma and beyond. There is Josh Taylor, Regis Prograis, Jose Ramirez, Gervonta Davis, Teophemo Lopez, Devin Haney, Ryan Garcia... All of these would be decent to big money fights for Mikey adding to legacy.

When it comes to Loma, I just don’t know who wins at 140 between Mikey and Loma. I know Loma’s footwork is a problem early. However Mikey has decent speed and good timing, power and is better fighting smaller men.

Keeping it 100, Loma has not been as dominant at 135. He seems very susceptible to the average punchers power. Mikey is not that at 140 and below.

But I would say that fight his 53/47 Loma today? As time goes on it may be more in Mikey’s favor. Why... because just like Pernell Whitaker and Roy Jones Jr. losing a step when you are freakishly athletic changes the whole game.

When your success has been based on a game of inches, age and Loma’s adjustment to it will determine if he can still dominate the best.

That’s why they should be fighting right now. Mikey needs to get out of the bleachers and come back down to the court.

I know promoters don’t like it in an era of risk free profiting but it is the risk to both fighters that make the matches compelling.

Mikey may be taking a risk against Pacquiao but who believes Pacquiao is taking a risk against Mikey? Even if Mikey surprises everyone, that outcome doesn’t appear likely so it’s not going to help the sell-ability of this fight.

Mikey should move down to 140 or 135 and fight top guys there. Pacquiao would beat his ass badly.
