Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia: My Experience Will Allow Me To Compete At Highest Level, Even At 147

I agree, Amir Khan would be a great fight for Mikey...

Mikey is the one who should be fighting Kell Brook. Not Terence Crawford.

I wonder how Mikey feels that he is Manny's low risk high reward bout

[Combat Talk Radio]

MIKEY SHOULD STICK TO FIGHTING GUYS LIKE AMIR CON OR VICTOR ORTIZ ... HE CANT BEAT THE ELITE AT 147

Victor Ortiz would be an interesting opponent. Someone not afraid to take risks against Mikey. I see that fight going similar to the Jesse Vargas fight - which I had Mikey losing.

Outside of Crawford and Spence I agree would. But outside those two who else???

At 147: Porter, Garcia, Thurman, Pac, Ugas.. Hell, I'm not even sure he could beat Lipinets again at that weight. Vargas was clearly outboxing him before he got clipped.
Then at 140: Taylor, Prograis, Ramirez, Postal even Baranchyk and Hooker.

The fact is, above 135, Mickey is b, b+ level.

Mikey cannot compete with the top 10 guys at 147! Mikey is a smart fighter but he's too predictable and too slow! Mikey is looking for one more huge payday against Manny and will go back to looking for c-level opponents.

lol i thought mikey did enough to win... But i was watching broner vs vargas the other day and i thought jessie lost that as well...

He's got enough to be top 10 at 147, but not a champ, size does matter at that level. Unless he gets the Pac fight and Manny gets old inside the ropes for the final time.
Mikey should have topped out at 140, maximum.

I don't show that I scored Broner/Vargas, but I do remember the TrainerTrax - and based on the trainer, I think that was the fight where Broner just wouldn't let his hands go at all and was giving away rounds.

This guy can’t give up the burritos to fight in his own weight class he’s not even top 10 at welterweight
