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

    I wonder why M.Garcia didnt want to participate in the 140 tourney and went back down to 135 if he knows that fight with Loma will not happen due to Arum,whats the point then ?

    That non sense with Spence is bluff most likely.Garcia isnt big or tough enough to campaign at 140 let alone 147.I have no doubt that Garcia skill wise is better than the 140 tourney guys but power wise,size wise and chin wise he isnt there and thats the reason he dropped down to 135.

    If Mikey fights Spence or Loma next, it's impossible to criticize him.

    That's pretty much all there is to it for me. Let's see if one of those fights gets made.

    Still hating it seems.

    Spence has one good win in Brroj the rest are over non punching borderline top 10 opposition, outside of Peterson who Matthysse had brushed aside a couple of years earlier and much quicker.......

    3 weight world champion brah......fought and beaten more world champions brah......

    I'm a fan of Spence he's a legit guy at 147.....but beating Algeri, Peterson and Brook is nothing compared to what Lomachenko has done......deep down you know did homes.

    Isn't AB a 4 weight champion? Yeah sure, Loma has beaten "MORE" quality opposition than Spence. But he never fought a Brook caliber guy. Algieri and Peterson are around the same level wins as a Walters, Sosa, Martinez, etc. Who you fooling? lmao.

    I think Mikey would prefer to fight Lomachenko but he's not fighting on some ESPN+ App under the Top Rank Banner. And not only that, but Lomachenko is recovering from surgery and said it would be stupid to fight Mikey next.

    The only option for Mikey really is to fight Spence, and it sucks. It sucks that Lomachenko isn't being allowed to fight Mikey and it sucks that he got injured vs Linares.

    All I know is Lomachenko bows to Crawford like a lil ole *****. How many times has Crawford said that he would crush his own stablemate? And all Lomachenko can say is...nothing.

    Arum is definitely blockin thee biggest lightweight title fight since I can remember. Mikey is in his prime so he need not waste it by fighting guys he can easily beat to rack up defenses. Pursue the best from this point out, win or lose and call it a career. Loma and Spence are the biggest fights out there for him that are makable.

    And hell, even that cluster**** took 5 years to put together!

    I wish Arum had as much faith in Loma as he did Manny. How many promoters would have thrown Manny in with De La Hoya?
    Manny was already a PPV caliber fighter, why risk damaging him?

    What makes Brook any good? Outside of Porter and getting his **** pushed in by GGG he's been badly managed and his opposition is proof of this.

    Sosa is arguably a better win than Brook, Sosa beating Fortuna is better than a win over Porter.

    Only person fooling is you the fanatical fan of a certain type of fighter.

    LOL this stable camaraderie is humorous. You know what Loma why don't you fight Crawford next and do what Mikey is trying to do with Spence moving up to welterweight. See if you can beat Crawford and see if Mikey can beat Spence then you can fight Mikey at welterweight lol.

    It's called class.....most people have it plus answer me these questions....

    1. What weight does Crawford start camp?

    2. What weight is Crawford's next day post weigh in weight?

    3. Isn't there 2 divisions between the fighters?

    He can't wait around for Lomachenko, and I doubt Lomachenko would ever try to dare to be great like Mikey is and move up to welter to take on Crawford.

    Mikey should ask for Amir Khan at welter that would be a fight. Then depending on how he looks ask for Spence
