    This guy has so many options. Is he going to go back down to 135? an considering fighting top guy there. ill exclude linares sense hes fighting some one. but other than that there easter jr or flanagan. then loma will move up to 135 it sounds like. so will mikey push for that?

    Or is mikey going to wait and see what happens wit bud crawford. We all are thinking bud will win so if so is mikey gonna go after bud? an hes even considering 147 which i think is wild but i dont really believe it.

    but will mikey fight someone other then easter , loma , or bud? mikey is gonna make a huge fight either way i believe. or he can also fight flanagan thats not a bad match up either.

    danny garcia. i think danny would rather fight mikey than spence and he would make roughly the same purse. i dont think loma is ready to jump up to 135 and take on mikey right off the bat, and everyone else wont generate the interest these fights would.

    I think he will move on Bob is not committed to let Loma face him so 140 is the ideal weigh for him now.

    i was thinking that. however danny garcia is a careful match maker. an hes coming off a loss to thurman and has been inactive. danny will fight mikey but danny would ask for a tune up for sure. maybe even 2

    He can move down to 135 but he might struggle to make weight.

    Mikey Garcia has the frame to be a WW. I believe that is his limit though. He does have a lot of better options at WW than he does at 135lbs or even 140lbs. As for Loma vs Garcia, IMO, I think Mikey is too big for Loma just as Loma is too big for Rigondeaux. A big great man will always beat a great small man.

    He's already said he's moving back to 135. It's obvious he doesn't carry his power to 140.

    Lomachenko wants to fight Mikey at 135. Lomachenko can beat Mikey because of his fantastic skills. Mikey has power, but you can't hurt what you can't hit!!! I pick Lomachenko to beat Mikey, just too many angles, fast feet, fast hands, head movement, etc.

    Am I the only one who doubts he ever fights at 135 again?

    Wouldn't be surprised to see him chase $$$ in a favorable risk/reward fight with Danny Garcia, but I'd prefer to see him drop to 135 for a bout with Linares. That would be a legacy fight, and a beautiful display between two spectacular technicians.

    He better go no higher than 140, no way he can beat top 147

    Well Loma wants to fight but his boss is not committed with all the angles, fast feet he knows Micke's capabilities and is not too eager to lose the golden egg.

    Mikey said that a fight with Lomachenko is up to Showtime. Lomachenko wants that fight at 135, but I am not so sure Mikey wants the fight. Networks are a problem, but Lomachenko's speed, angles, footwork, total skills are too much for Mikey...................I doubt if Mikey will fight Lomachenko.................
