    Remember when Mikey said that if Linares fights Loma then Mikey will never fight Linares?
    Pissed a lot of people off.

    It kinda is. He moved up to an easier division while stating that he is at his best at 135.

    I feel you but I do not believe Mikey will fight Spence no matter how much he says it. Any outside of the top guys at 147 will not be a better fight for him than Loma (if he gets past Linares).

    What a strange thing to say, maybe he think Loma would beat Linares. Anyway I don’t care if he doesn’t fight Linares (i think Mikey stops him) I wanna see him fight Lomachenko more tbh.

    Yeah but we know who he will be fighting if he doesn’t stay at 135 and that’s Baryanchuk as it has been ordered by the IBF. Anyway there isn’t anyone at 140 yet, Prograis and Taylor but they are both green.

    Leaving a possible fight with Loma/Linares to fight Baryanchuk is a duck for me, the other two fights are competitive especially the Loma fight. Mikey would school Baryanchuk who isn’t Better that Lipinets in my eyes.

    I would hope he doesn't fight Spence. That's just much a tall order IMO. I see what you're saying though.

    Yeah we know if he leaves to go to 140 it will be for Baryanchuk, if he stays at 135 then Easter has commey, Linares has Loma and Beltran is a crap fight tbh. So not sure what fight he could target which is better than Mikey vs Loma/Linares.

    I doubt Mikey will move back down to 135
    I feel the same, but i do give Linares a legit shot. (i just dont think Mikey is that good).

    But Mikey has talked about fighting Cotto, Pacquiao, Linares, Easter Jr., Lomachenko, Thurman and Spence Jr. Yet he fought Broner and Lipiniets.

    Arum will never let Loma fight Mikey. Not even because he thinks Mikey will win. He just doesn't want to put a single penny in Mikey's pocket.

    Both are good fights, but yeah compared for the people he talked about the guy needs a big fight.

    I think Linares will lose to most big punchers with skills, he is great offensively but his defence and face scarring put him at risk.

    No, he's ducking a 2 month diet. The guy has been grinding at this for 12 years already. After a while I think you just want to live like the rich man you are and eat a little.
