There's one paranoid poster on this thread, can you guess who it is?

Mikey is an interesting fighter no doubt. He's a very solid all around fighter, but I can't think of any one thing he does that you'd consider elite. Comes from a good boxing pedigree and is definitely a fundamentally sound boxer.

He has a couple issues though- first one being his 2 plus year layoff. Luckily it wasn't injury related so there is a possibility he could get back to the form he had at SFW before his hiatus. But still, he lost 2 + years of his absolute prime, and he'll never be able to get that back.

i also question his chin a bit. It looked shaky when he moved to 130 lbs a few years ago, than he had that long layoff and now he returns campaigning at LW. He made mention of eventually going to 140 lbs, he better avoid Crawford because Terrence would probably stop him inside 8 or 9 rounds.

Okay, can I ask you why you don't consider Mikey's counter punching elite? Or why you don't consider his left hook elite? How about his jab, or ability to set up shots, and traps? Mikey did catch a flash kd from Rocky Martinez. I just wonder if you don't see how he set the tone for the fight, and also has very good ring generalship.

Please keep that stuff about judges being bought out of this thread.

I'm glad Mikey is back in the ring and am looking forward to seeing him take his place back among the elites.
I just hope he stays very active for the next couple years.

Ok comeback win? He knocked the guy down 4 times in 5 rounds and made him quit. Triple G does that to a comparable level opponent and he's p4p lol. I think Mikey's power will carry all the way up to 140-147, if his body fills out.

@kirk what do you think he's missing? Every time he had a step up fight he's dominated and KO'd his opponent. He beat the **** out of Salido until Salido broke his nose on purpose and the refs stopped it. Oh yeah his broke Salido's orbital bone.

Yea Broner vs Mikey by the end of year per Robert Garcia

Like I said, there's not one single thing I can point to that he does or doesnt do to underline my feeling on him. Just a feeling I get. And I picked Garcia to knock Salido down repeatedly on the way to a stoppage win so he didn't do anything I didn't expect.

Great thing about boxing is we will eventually see his level though... he could show me totally wrong and become one of the stand outs of this era. We will see.
