After watching the Spence Jr fight I'm assuming most people are in agreement that Mikey should go back down a division or two, to test himself against people more similar in size to himself. My question is, aside from Lomachenko who is the obvious pick for most people, which other fighters at either 135 or 140 give Mikey the toughest work? How much of a chance would you give fighters like Davis, Prograis, Taylor, Linares (just to name a few), to beat Garcia? Or at least challenge him.
Hello James, Thank you for posting. Your enthusiasm is appreciated. You named them all. Please submit a ticket to close this thread. Sincerely, Paranoid Android
i would bet my last cent that regis doesnt see 10. regis has horrible defense, besides mikey being better at everything else. i like regis, but he isnt on that level.
Naw, you like Mikey and you can't see past that. I like Mikey too but I don't see the skillset in him necessary to dominate Prograis. It would be a toss up for me. Prograis has better defense than you give him credit for and a great chin. The only reason I say it's a toss up is because of Mikey's chin. Prograis has better speed than Mikey.
ive proven my ability to put my feelings aside and be honest about what i see. i was probably the first that posted that spence whooped mikeys ass. i have no sons who box, the rest is just sport.
Mikey and Spence is a different subject, this is about Mikey and Prograis. Just because you acknowledged that Spence beat Mikey doesn't mean you don't like him. I like both fighters but I mesh their styles and study how they performed in previous fights and I just don't see a scenario where Mikey walks over Prograis. Mikey boxes but Prograis can box and in fight. He got two inches in height on Mikey but loses an inch in reach. I have no doubt that Prograis would have beat every fighter that Mikey beat and some of them he would have beaten in a worse fashion. Prograis is no joke and surely no walkover for Mikey.
if thats not what it means, point to a previous post you think demonstrates my bias regarding mikey in any other debate. where have i ever been unreasonable regarding mikey?
Never said you was unreasonable but I do think that you may be a little bias and saying that doesn't mean it a bad thing. I just think that you are over looking Prograis skills.
