    Even if everything you’ve said is true, so what if he wants a tuneup post-surgery? Mikey can’t wait until the beginning of 2019? Too long of a layoff for HIM??!?

    Calling it like I’ve seen it, Loma took on Walters, Rigo, and Linares. But he would duck Mikey? Mikey WOULD price himself out, as he’s been delusional the majority of his career.

    He’s not marketable and actually boring. Very talented, but boring.

    Someone who applauds his decision to run off to 140 (one of the worst divisions in the sport) is not looking at this correctly.

    What career development is fighting Pacquiao? Lose-lose fight imo. Beat an ancient PAC or even worse, get caught and lose to him?!? I guess he can finally get some coin after years of inactivity.

    If he wanted to test 147 first against someone other than Spence, fine. But leaving 135 when Loma is there (and Davis will be) is weak.

    i read the whole post, twice. i failed to find 1 fact. if i missed one, please point it out. if you want to debate with only opinion, then lets just say my opinion, backed by facts, is different to yours.

    Well first you should learn the definition of fact and opinion. Then maybe come back and read it a third, fourth, or fifth time until you understand.

    Good luck.

    Yes, it is of my opinion that Loma fought Walters, Rigo, and Linares with no issues regarding contracts. Mikey has been an inactive (or infrequent) fighter for years. I suppose you rate a win over a 40yo PAC as a career-defining win and “career developing,” but there are bigger fish to fry all around him (and still at his current weight class of 135, which me saying Loma is, is also opinion), but I guess that’s my opinion.

    And if you need some “proof” of him pricing himself out of previous fights, I could find them for you in the morning.

    in the last 1.5 years mikey has won the wbc world lightweight title, wbc diamond super lightweight title, ibf world super lightweight title, and a unification for ibf world lightweight title and wbc world lightweight title. you call him inactive, i call him an overachiever.
    beating pac is better than anything loma has done, or is likely to do given the competition around him. mikey is his only chance to top it.
    what fish?
    please find them, so we can put some context to it and see whos opinion lines up better with the facts.

    And I see 6 fights in the last 4.5 years. Beating an elder PAC is better than Linares? Man, you’re really grasping now. The top dogs at 135 and 147 are the fish, not PAC.

    Overachiever haha. Funny because most would probably classify Mikey as an UNDERachiever. Has the talent to be a star, but not the heart or mentality to be (but just talk about it after every fight).


    Just start saving your money now for that Crawford-Garcia PPV that you’d pay to see.

    You are up with the worst posters on here. Mikey has beaten no one worth anything and he ducked Linares. That’s what he’s done in recent years. At least Easter was a step in the right direction, but then straight away he left the lightweight division to talk about fighting guys he’s never going to fight. Beating Pac certainly isn’t better than GRJ, Walters, Rigo, Linares. Jeff Horn beat Pac. Are you claiming that Jeff Horn is above Lomachenko and Mikey? You have an argument with Mikey I guess.

    its becoming more and more clear that you dksab.
    you believe mikey has 6 fights in 4.5 years, that linares, who has gotten beat up by guys at demarco level, is a better scalp than a top 30 atg who ko'd his last opponent, and that there are bigger fish at 135 than mikey garcia who is the only unified champ between flyweight and middleweight.
    chew on that a little and swim back to the shallow end, and take that idiot whos already been "dealt_with".

    Oh wow, clearly grade-A trolling.

    Yes I believe Mikey has fought 6 times since the beginning of 2014. Another baseless opinion of mine.

    Linares is a better win than this version of PAC (not ATG version), who lost how many times in the last 6 years?

    I said Mikey has bigger fish at those other weight classes than 140, but I know reading comprehension isn’t your specialty.

    And I would say you really dksab, but that would actually be a compliment for you.

    Don’t quote me anymore, I’m done with you.

    I'm not walking it anywhere it's clear to see in your post.

    "he called mikey slow and easy to figure out,
    This content is protected
    now hes too dangerous to fight after a surgery."

    Those two things are not mutually exclusive.

    which part of that is false or hyperbole? the debate was whether loma-garcia can get made and why. i wish loma would have said, "let me test my shoulder first and then ill give him that work", but he didnt. nor is he giving any indication that he wants mikey in the future.
