    I won't deny this guy is talented, but what a ****en tool. He constantly complains when he should just STFU and fight somebody. He left 135 as soon as 135 started heating up a little. Linares and Loma? Nah Mikey doesn't want it.

    This guy hasn't beaten ANYBODY.

    He went to 140 fight Adrien Broner FFS.

    Dude needs to gather his nuts and fight somebody who doesn't drive cabs.

    Robert Easter is a good start. That's his toughest opponent yet. But even still that's just 1 decent guy among a sea of bums.

    Yea he has some talent, but he and his brother talk like he's the second coming of JMM or Barrera. The guy hasn't beaten anybody or fought anybody yet.

    Have to disagree with you on this one. He has impeccable timing and excellent fundamentals.

    I never said he wasn't talented. Actually I conceded that.

    I said he's a diva who hasn't beaten anybody, which is true.

    I'm not sure why you would say he is a diva. He handles himself well. Not a braggart. Maybe you attribute his confidence to being conceited. There are so many other guys who are over-the-top conceited in boxing, like Broner or Haye or Fury. Not sure why you would target Mikey.

    Although BoxRec shows TD9 against “Siri” Jaunma Lopez Sr., Mikey Diva’s body language, at the point when the fight ended, pointed to a fighter who was VERY relieved to not see rounds 10 thru 12.

    I really hope Easter pulls off the upset.

    I'll agree he is a diva douchebag and is becoming an intensely unlikable phony, but while his resume isn't all that impressive, his wins over Salido, even though he was starting to fall apart, over Juanma, Rocky Martinez, Sergey Lipinets, Broner and Rojas are all solid.

    I mean they're ok. But this guy and his brother keep pumping themselves up like Garcia running through elite guys. He's not.

    Yeah, but... I think a lot of that's based on to decisiveness of the wins themselves, Mikey has looked fairly untouchable up util the Lipinets match, aside from the one KD against Martinez. Granted, they do overdo it, although that is to be expected out of people who want to hype themselves up.

    How come he’s ranked in the 135lb division in the rings rankings?

    This. Wins over Salido and Broner easily trump Loma's whole pro resume.

    Mikey got the win over Salido, who beat Loma.

    Mikey beat Broner, who beat the same Demarco that destroyed Linares (Loma's best win).
