    I do give Garcia a far better chance of beating Spence than Loma. Garcia’s lack of speed won’t be as much of an issue against the bigger Spence, and stylistically Spence poses far fewer problems than Lomachenko. I still pick Spence though 95-5

    I have to watch that fight, depending on what I see it's either going to confirm what I think I know or it's not going to shatter a myth I've created. I'm worried that fight could ruin MG for me.

    Right now he's an elite fighter with everything needed to be a great. If he truly quit but got away with it it'll change everything

    So Lomachenko has consistently stopped world class competition (including the 135 champ that Garcia ducked), and Garcia has consistently outpointed bum opponents. What you’re saying doesn’t line up with reality at all. I’d be shocked if Garcia won more than two rounds against Loma, I’d be shocked if Mikey lasted the distance. He’s basic and been dropped by the likes of Martinez, and shown a propensity to quit against Salido. If he didn’t quit against Lomachenko I’d be shocked.

    Salido is his best win, if you haven’t seen that then what on earth makes you think anything of Mikey? He’s fought no one, and is winning 8-4 type decisions against paper titlists. Mikey is just a basic fighter with good fundamentals and balance, nothing more and nothing less. He isn’t elite, that’s for sure.

    Linares is far faster than Garcia, and likely hits harder as well. Lomachenko was off balance and wore harder shots than that one.
    If Martinez can drop Garcia..
