    I was still hoping he would fight Loma at some point. Sad.

    That Zla-Teach-Anin KO was nasty AF, though.

    You understand when talking about ESjr's fight w/ Mikey and if ESjr is a draw, his recent fights are moot. We're talking about a specific timeline. You can't retro current #'s back in time...

    For a 4 weight champion, Garcia's resume is WEAK.

    Who was the best titleholder he beat? Salido? Martinez?

    As someone pointed out, Broner is often considered one of the worst 4 weight champions in boxing history, but Garcia's resume isn't THAT much better.

    I won't call Broner or Garcia bums. I'll just say that they were VERY fortunate to fight in an era with so many belts and weight classes.

    Haha funny :ARMS1:

    though it's usually the other low view channels that do those interviews but fighthype just take their hard work & content rename it while adding "FLOYD" in it's title whenever given a chance all to appease him while trying to convince the Boxing world that he is the benchmark,

    Must of struck some kind of deal with those channels like villanify media, snowqueen, thaboxingvoice, umong others who are actually doing the work, while fighthype take their credit..............

    Mikey's good, he still had plenty of fights left as he didn't take any real beatings either,

    To be serious he never really wanted that fight with Loma, perhaps he thought he would lose or wasn't completely confident he could win so he decided to take the other route with Spence, atleast there if he lost he would have the excuse of being the smaller/lighter fighter than him & not face the full criticism from the fans while collecting a paycheck & given his performance that night it seemed like he didn't even want to try to win when plan A didn't work out, It was one the most embarrassing ways to lose while continuing to lift his Hand in the air after every round Yikes!

    During 2017 most were confident he would be too much for Pacquiao & wipe him off which i never agreed on, but upon Pac's performance against Matthyse/Broner which then swayed most of the public's opinion on how the fight would go down, doing a full 180 on that topic of them fighting,

    Him & Pac were set to fight two times, instead both of them ended up fighting another opponent & thus both ended up losing while retiring in the same fashion.

    His KO of Dejan Zlaticanin was as clean a shot as could possibly have been landed. Happy retirement you massive underachiever.

    Good, I won't have to watch him fight Conor Benn in 6 years... when Benn is "ready".
