    Mikey is so scared of losing to Loma that he moved up a couple of weight classes to get his ass kicked by Spence.

    Loma is fighting 1-2 divisions above his best weight. For Canelo to do the same he'd be fighting all his fights at 175 and dominating all of Kovalev, Bivol, Gvozdych, Beterbiev. But people are gobbling up those yellow PED-filled balls mentioning P4P when he can't beat GGG without judges.

    Loma is the truth. He has forced "no mas" on quality fighters, ducking no-one. He might get caught as he is aging, fighting bigger guys and chasing challenges, but the truth is plain to see unless you're always wearing certain coloured glasses. You can only blame big mouths like Mikey and Tank Davis for not giving him more opportunities.

    It's true. Mikey took that fight knowing full well that even if he lost it wouldn't damage his stock as much. Losing to Loma would have killed any chance at a higher weight payday. The Loma fight still has roughly the same appeal. So Garcia will probably take once it marinates a bit more.

    Lomochenko is good though and more importantly he's great to watch.

    It doesn't. But running away from the division where he was a titleholder does.

    In recent years, Mikey has been nothing but a cherry picker. He become unified champion by beating boxers who he and the entire boxing world know he would win. People might forget, but he did avoid Linares. Later on, he also avoided his mandatory duty ordered by IBF to fight against Commey, resulting his belt being stripped. And after he lost to Spence, he again chose to vacate the belt rather than stay in the division and prove his worth against Campbell. It does not make sense for a unified champion of two organizations losing both of his titles without a fight. All just because he doesn't want people calling his name to fight the real champion of this division, Lomachenko.

    So tell me, what kind of legacy this man have now ?

    My comment wasn't aimed at possibly the greatest amateur of all time. It was aimed at Campbell, and how they are trying to hype him into a viable opponent, when he is nothing more than Linares' left overs. Having no notable wins against a top level opponent.

    I didn’t mind Mikey taking the fight but his performance was disgraceful. He made no adjustments and spent the night at the end of Spence's jab. After he realized his initial fight plan was not going to work, he went into survival mode and really had no chance. Spence was much bigger and stronger but I didn’t expect him to give Mikey a boxing lesson like he did. Mikey looked very conventional and slow at 147.

    I’m glad he’s not talking about fighting Danny Garcia because he’d get a beating. Mikey needs to diet and get back to 135 where he belongs. Spence went easy on him, I think Loma will give Mikey a beating at 135.

    And Loma schooled Campbell like he was supposed to. Campbell is a very good fighter. And speaking of Linares... Mikey didn’t fight him either did he.

    You enjoy that Stipe revenge a couple weeks ago? Lol

    He stepped up and fought someone bigger and better than Loma lol. Loma even admitted he wanted no part of Spence. Mieky beats Loma easily!

    Did you see that fight? Imitating a beached whale is not something to be applauded for. That shows how delusional he was. Also, there is no way in hell Spence is near Loma in skill.

    sounds like a nervous girly laugh to me, the slightly mental one that high maintenance chicks make when you refuse to buy them BOBA.

    One of the forum race clowns couldn't help himself and rears his ugly head I see. lol.

    Campbell isn't a very good fighter. If he was a very good fighter, he wouldn't have lost to Mendy, and Linares.

    Actually I did. I enjoyed the adjustment he made, and was glad he showed at least a tiny bit of cage IQ. Cormier go that humble pie, as he should have, fighting so arrogantly and not listening to his corner. Seemed like the first guy that listened and tried to implement the corner's instruction was the one that came out on top.

    Since when fighting someone who is two weight class higher become a benchmark of achievement in boxing ? Weight class exists for a reason and challenging someone in higher weight class beyond optimal limit is stupid.

    Using your logic, why not Spence move up to 160 and fight Canelo ?
