    Hearn offering Mikey this fight in exchange for vacating WBC 135lb belt, do you think Mikey takes it?

    And if so who wins?

    Mikey would knock the daylights out of hooker, he would stop him, of course this depends on whether Mikey is the same.

    I think Maurice Hooker is better than he’s given credit for, but I think Garcia beats him in a clear UD

    Why wouldn’t he be the same? When has he took any serious punishment?

    If the Hooker v Garcia fight occurs, Mikey will
    once again be at a big physical disadvantage,
    and Spence has already made the template on how
    to beat Mikey.

    Maurice Hooker (29 yrs old)
    26-0-3
    Ht: 5′ 11″
    Reach 80″ (?)

    Mikey Garcia (31 years old)
    39-1-0
    height 5′ 6″
    reach 68″

    Hooker has impressed me but Mikey is a league or two above him at least -- IMO. I think Mikey catches him and turns him off early to mid rounds.

    True, but as it happens Hooker isn't good enough to pull that off.

    Darleys Perez is about Mikey-sized and completely schooled him a few years ago, only corrupt judges saved Hooker's 0 that day. Hooker has improved since but not nearly enough to make up the gap in class to Mikey.

    Someone predicted that Mikey cashed out against Spence and it would be just partying and hookers from now on...

    Garcia is done. Hooker will feed on his shell like a caucus. Spence already done the main mauling.

    He took a beating against Spence. Not only physically but also mentally, he got comprehensively beaten at his own game, he lost in the manner which he didn’t think he could lose in.
