Mikey Garcia wants Errol Spence at the end of 2018

[Badhusker]

No joke, according to Mikey Garcia. I had to see a video to believe he was serious. Got to like his confidence and daring to be great. Skip to 3:38 if you don't want to watch the whole video.

[Taansend]

Fair play to the lad.

[Enlightened-One]

I think this is simply a case of Mikey using Spence Jr’s name to put himself into the media limelight. Garcia is supposedly moving back to 135lbs to face Jorge Linares after his bout against Lipinets (as ordered by the WBC).

Possibly. If Mikey and his brother are so stupid to get into the ring with Spence, Mikey will be lucky to get stopped quickly to not endure too much damage.

[jockpunk]

Lol no way is garcia going to fight spence. He won't even fight linares.

[SenorPipino]

Garcia would toy with Linares, who has never beaten a truly top fighter and has a suspect chin to boot.

Spence is another story. P4P it's a competitive fight. But Garcia moving quickly to 147 against Spence seems somewhat of a reach.

And I'm not certain that the purse would make it worthwhile. As good as they are, neither Garcia or Spence are household names

There are no $10 million + paydays awaiting Garcia, even versus Spence.

No way does this happen, Spence is much too big for Mikey.

Garcia could make $10 mil fighting Pac, but he will likely not want to work with Arum. Mikey would also have very decent chances to beat Manny at 140.

I'd like to see it. It'd be refreshing to see some of these fighters actually follow through on their words at some point.

Not even close to it. Pacquiao only made 10 million to fight Horn and Horn got 500,000.

Pacquiao is not the money juggernaut he used to be

[boxing_rocks]

Wasn't that a government funded fight in NZ ? Manny vs Mikey in the U.S. could probably sell 500k ppvs.

[klitoris]

Lol Mikey can call out Anthony Joshua for all I care. Until he actually gets in the ring with whoever he calls out I have no use for it.

I don't think that Arum would pay Garcia anywhere near $10 million. Mikey is not one of his favorite people.

And yes I agree that Garcia would have an excellent chance to beat Pacquioa. Especially at 140 since I don't believe that Pacquiao can make that weight and remain strong.

He would stop a drained Pacquiao.

But hell. I'm confident that Garcia could even beat Pac at 147.

But again, Spence is another story.

[Impractical Poster]

I'm not count ing out Mikey against anyone.

Spence is the goods. But he does get hit. Thus far he's shown a great chin. I don't think he's all that much bigger than Garcia. He is more powerful. But Mikey is the more skilled and faster. Would be a great fight.

[Lackeos]

Given Garcia's lack of size, I don't think this fight would be worth it. I would prefer to see Garcia fight Rances Barthelemy, Lomachenko, Robert Easter, Jorge Linares, or Terry Flanagan.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Apparently, he walks around at 170 pounds!

Spence is huge for WW. As many others, he is using his youth to cut huge amount of weight. He is about as tall as Golovkin with a longer reach. His frame is big too. Garcia is a midget compared to him.

[Best Coast]

Wow...Mikey is serious but I dont think his chances are good. Spence is just to big and too quick for him...3.5 " in height and 4" in reach!!

[Lackeos]

Ricky Hatton walked around at 200 pounds. But he never ruled the welterweight division.

Comparing Spence to Garcia, it looks like Spence has the muscles of two welterweights and none of the fat; it looks like Garcia has the fat of two welterweights and none of the muscle.

Close.
It was in Brisbane Oz, partially funded by the Brisbane City Council and I believe Queensland State may have chipped in too.
Pretty decent event really, only Hearn last year put on something bigger.

60 pounds of that was Guinness & Curry

Not even the same country, mate.

[caldo2025]

Bahhhhhh haaaaaaaaa. What a ridiculous comment from a cherry picking dodger like Mikey. FYI, always be weary of a grown man named Mikey who wears cowboy hats
