Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia: I'd Rather Fight Errol Spence Than Lomachenko

[yoshik]

what does it tell you, Spence is the same diuretic cheater and weight bullying as Garcia

Idiot. There you go alleging PEDs. Don't you chumps get tired of that. Bet you said that about Pac Man too didn't you? Typical #casual.

So we're supposed to criticize him because he's really good?

What if he was the greatest fighter that ever lived and nobody would be a 50-50 fight? We're suppose to trash him for that?

Such a strange way of thinking.

The dude, right away, after a long layoff, went after the undefeated WBC lightweight world champion that Linares was ducking and quickly knocked him out.

He then moved up to 140 to hand Broner his only loss in his best weight class. Now he's fighting for a world title at 140 and wants to fight for a world title at 147.

The dude used to fight at FEATHERWEIGHT!!! You should be praising him for having the balls to keep moving up in weight and instead you're ****ting on him because he's good and nobody at his weight would be 50-50 against him?!?

Well said. Mikey Garcia is the real deal and he should be given respect for what he’s accomplished. Tendency on this site to bash fighters if they’re undefeated or stand above the rest. It’s almost like saying Michael Jordan wasn’t really that good, it was just the competition. Pretty silly.

talk is cheap.. more actions!!

After Mikey's history it's hard to take him serious. Too many fights he's called for and been the one to refuse the fights.

If his history is anything to go by he'll call out Spence, turn it down and wait for a vacant title or easy title at 147 and take that route. Mikey has made one total title defense in all his little reigns. His best win has been what? A washed up weight drained Broner who'd really lost to Granados in the fight prior? Meh. Mikey's a good fighter, arguably in the bottom end of the p4p list but been disappointed with him since 2014.

Linares is his mandatory and Linares has had two years to demand a purse bid. Mikey says he wants to win the IBF 140 and then move back down to 135 to unify with Linares. You say he has zero intention of doing that, but there's nothing logical to support your position. Let's see who ends up ducking the purse bid.

Mikey had every intention of fighting Cotto if it was a one fight contract. That fight didn't happen because GB would only let the fight happen if Mikey signed a long term exclusive promotional agreement.

I agree Crawford & Loma won't happen, but that's not because of Mikey. That's because of Bob Arum. No logical reason for Bob to allow those fights. He doesn't have Mikey. He has very few stars. It would decimate his ESPN deal for one of his two main guys to lose to Mikey unless he had Mikey locked up long term.

some one wants to be a fan, no matter what

[Ogecca MaMa]

whats good for boxing or us fans if fight Cotto - Garcia happens?

the hell..you make it sound like Margarito just called out Cotto...or vice versa, so exciting....to see a borefest and how Mickey with his team simply cashing out.

dude runs his mouth so his fellow gringo killers, believe and he\ll have supporters. give me a break

all bark, but no bite

He says he wants Thurman and Spence and only wants fights that excites him, and then he goes and fights Broner and Lipinets...

Three division world champion Mikey Garcia (37-0, 30 KOs) says the welterweight division is certainly in his future. Garcia back on March 10th, when he goes for his fourth divisional title in a showdown with undefeated junior welterweight champion Sergey Lipinets. Provided he wins, one fight that Garcia wants to do before heading up in weight is a unification with WBA lightweight champion Jorge Linares.

All this weight hopping. It's not really the same as cleaning out a weight class. There are plenty of good fights out there for Garcia. Lipinets isn't one of them.

[Squ□redCircle34]

Loma vs Beltran

Loma vs Pacquiao

Or

Garcia vs Linares

Garcia vs Spence

[Derranged]

That's a lie. Of course he'd rather fight Lomachenko and if he goes back to 135, the fight will probably happen.
