Does Mikey wanting to fight Spence prove that Arum is the roadblock for the Loma fight?

    If Mikey beat Loma, he most likely would be rated p4p #1. He doesn't need to move up to 147 to prove that. Spence is clearly the 100000x harder fight.

    I’m gonna ask you not to ask stupid questions, everyone and there mom knows Arum doesn’t allow people who leave him have fights with his people. Manny and Floyd was a special situation point blank period. Mikey will never get Loma

    Those people are ******ed we don’t take them seriously. History has shown us Arum is a piece of **** who doesn’t care about the fans.

    Who thinks Mikey is ducking Loma?

    Loma is light years better technically than Spence but obviously Spence has the natural size on Garcia.

    Garcia has some good options.....whether any road is the correct one has yet to be seen.

    Spence > Loma. If Salido beat Loma, imagine what Spence would do if he was the same size.

    Wanting to fight Spence and fighting Spence are two different things. Let's see what happens. Talk is cheap.

    That's stupid theory.

    Neither fighter fight similar and Spence has yet to step foot in the ring with any fighter half of what Lomachenko is.

    And loma hasn't stepped foot in the ring with any fighter of what Spence is. Unless you count a 38 year old moving up 2 weight divisions.

    Classic old egomaniac. The man has been to court with Oscar, openly talks **** about Cotto and Floyd for leaving him and is now bad mouthing Manny for waking up and realizing that you should not be in debt after 10 PPV events and a $180 million dollar payout from just one of those fights.

    Lomachenko will fight Ray Beltran next and then just who ever Arum lines up because boxings alt-right will prop up the opponent anyway just because. I actually feel for Lomachenko's and Crawford's career in the future if Arum manages to beat death for another decade. Top Rank builds career's finely but they totally destroy their own creations.

    who else is Mikey gonna fight though? He wants to stay active, he wants the biggest fights out there because he feels he is in his prime. Spence is really the biggest fight out there since Lomachenko is injured or isn't ready to fight Mikey or whatever. Mikey tried to make the fight with Lomachenko, but I don't think Bob wants it and Mikey ain't gonna fight on no ESPN+ App. Mikey is looking for the toughest challenge out there that can be made and that's clearly Spence.

    mikey will not be the same 135 lb fighter after a camp and fight at 147 vs spence, he will be diminished at the lower weights. its important for loma to demand the fight from arum right now, because i doubt mikey will ever be back to 135. they will have to fight one day, its better for loma that it be at 135 than 140.

    I think we're headed for TC vs Pacquiao since literally there's no one else in that division that is a big fight in under Crawford's promotional banner. I wish Crawford could fight some of the Showtime guys like Spence and really unify the division cross promotion.

    Most days I pray for his death and that’s f’d up but he’s a black ball for the sport of boxing far worst than don king in my opinion. Shaker Stevenson was an idiot to sign with him. Crawford will never get a shot at being undisputed at welter with her around. Manny Pacquaio has to the the stupidest boxer alive m. I still remember visionquest telling him Arum was stealing from him. I blame roach as well dude made you so much money and set your family up for generations and you where in bed with the guy robbing him. I hope roachs death is slow and painful and he shakes himself to death in bed disloyal as *****.

    That's the one thing I'm concerned about. I think Mikey though is one of the most skilled guys at cutting weight without it hurting him, but still it's a big ask. I almost hope that if Mikey fights Spence he weights in at like 143 or 144 or something and just doesn't put on weight to put on weight. Because he's a unified champ now at 135 and that's where a Lomachenko fight would realistically have to happen. It's a tough decision for Mikey.
