He did the right thing because 140 is the kingdom of the Ruga Ru and that's nothing but bad news Mikey.
Mikey had his chance before and refused. I doubt if Mikey will fight Lomacheko...................Lomachenko will out box him...................
Doesn't want to continue the upward division trend for obvious reasons. I don't believe he wants to be bumping into thurman, spence, crawford etc any time soon. I'm sure he's also desperately begging that Linares wins so he can fight him instead of Lomachenko. Lomachenko will expose Mikey Garcia and make him look like an amateur. Mikey's just a guy who collects titles against bums in empty divisions and then calls himself a '100 time world champion' or whatever, despite clearly not being deserving of it whatsoever. As AJ says, there's talkers and then there's fighters...
I wouldn’t be suprised if the whole Moving back down thing was to avoid the rumoured and upcoming wbss at 140, plus Haymon probably going to pay him a fat stack for the Easter fight.
