    Garcia will probably fight Vargas, Aligieri or Provodnikov.

    People should learn from Broner who also jumped up two weights.

    It's still a dangerous move. I'd like to see how he will be able to manage two weight divisions up.

    Bradley also has a great jaw. Mikey has a questionable one.

    he wasn't gonna beat loma. he wasn't gonna beat crawford. he's skipping all the challenges to cash out in the money division.
     
  7. Mikey's primary interest this year has been in determining his market value


    At the moment, he thinks that he is worth more than Top Rank believes that he is. Maybe he is or maybe he isn’t. I think we will soon find out what the market will bear and hopefully Mikey’s back in the ring before too long.

    What I am saying is that he is very focused on the financial return of his efforts in this business so I would assume that he sees new large money fight at 135 and far more at 140

    Mikey is trying to cash out quickly. He doesn't care for boxing that much. You can tell.

    Watch what happens when he lands his first big bomb and his opponent just smiles.

    Not a good idea at this stage of his career unless he fights another small 140 fighter , maybe Broner , Malignaggi etc.

    Its a matter of carrying the power and taking the punches. the skill is there to compete with anyone. i think he will do just fine

    There's no doubt that Mikey is a special fighter


    But in 2014 he had exactly one fight. At 130. Where he got rocked (glove almost touched the ground). And the fight went the distance.

    I’m not so sure he can "go toe to toe with anyone" at 140 or 147.

    There’s a big difference between going to 140, and staying inactive (like he’s currently doing), and going to 140 and matching up with someone really big and strong. And 147…forget it. Mike has no chance against Thurman or a healthy Kell Brook etc.
