At 135 Garcia had some solid fights like Linares, Easter Jr and probably Lomachenko !

Mikey Garcia’s move to 140lbs is supposedly only a temporary one. There’s a video of him on YouTube stating his desire to return to 135lbs immediately after his next bout.

Mikey is only 5’ 6” and he’s physically not big enough to permanently campaign at 140lbs.

In fact, the WBC granted special permission to Mikey Garcia to face Sergey Lipinets for the IBF’s 140lbs title under the assumption that he’ll be facing Jorge Linares at 135lbs during his next outing.

End of thread!

Nope! I can understand the fight with Broner because it made $en$e but why Mikey didn't stay at 135 and try to unify with Linares or Easter Jr who has the IBF title at 135 lbs ?

He's the same height (maybe taller) as Tim Bradley, Pernell Whitaker, Macho Camacho, Lucas Matthysse, Manny Pacquiao, Ruslan Provodnikov, Ricky Hatton

Mikey Garcia has clearly explained his desire to move back down to 135lbs after his next bout and he's already detailed his reasons for doing so.

If you feel compelled to be a smart ârsê about it, then I suggest you send him a strongly-worded letter telling him that he doesn't know shît about his own body!

There's a lot you don't understand that I cannot be bothered to explain to you. If Mikey Garcia's own words, coupled with the actions of the WBC aren't good enough for you then you really do need to seek help from a professionally-trained mental healthcare specialist.

I've provided you with a factually correct definitive answer to the question you posed, so I don't need to do anything else.

Because here at Boxrec if a fighter doesn't fight who and when certain posters want.
They are considered a coward a chicken and a disgrace to humanity.
Half of the members are delusional

OK, so it seems you’ve finally come clean about your initially thinly-veiled agenda.

Instead of creating a thread discussing Mikey Garcia’s one-off world title bout at 140lbs, you really wanted to start-up a bandwagon of hatred about the man, by encouraging others to endorse your unsubstantiated belief about him being a “duck”.

You clearly don't know anything about Mikey Garcia's troubled relationship with Top Rank, which promotes Lomachenko and Crawford!

FFS! Why didn’t you just be honest about your opinions and create an anti-Mikey Garcia thread?

You’re a fúckíng juvenile twát!

saying that a fighter's being 5'6 means he is therefore not physically big enough to campaign at 140lbs is absolutely not a 'factually correct definitive answer', you have been helpfully provided with a list of fighters of 5'6, many of them with smaller frames than Garcia, who campaigned with great success at 140lbs.

NOTE TO READERS: DID YOU EVER NOTICE HOW OFTEN EO USES THREE WORDS WHEN ONE WILL DO? 'FACTUAL', OR 'CORRECT', OR 'DEFINITIVE', WOULD DO, BUT HE CAN'T HELP HIMSELF SAYING ALL THREE? THIS IS A CLASSIC SIGN OF A PERSON TRYING TO APPEAR MORE INTELLIGENT THROUGH HIS USE OF LANGUAGE, AND OVERCOMPENSATING. NOTE, IN MOST OF HIS POSTS, THERE WILL BE SIMILAR SUPERFLUOUS USES OF LANGUAGE, WHERE HE WILL SAY BASICALLY THE SAME THING WITH TWO OR THREE DIFFERENT WORDS. PLEASE DON'T CONFUSE HIS VERBOSITY AND POMPOUS TONE FOR INTELLIGENCE- HE REALLY ISN'T A VERY BRIGHT GUY.

Please read through the previous response I supplied to the person that challenged my remark you quoted.

In regards to your irrational rambling spiel that you've articulated using bold uppercase text, I am always capable of justifying my beliefs by citing evidence either from the proverbial "horses mouth" or from reliable sources.

That doesn't require remarkable intellect, instead it demonstrates an ability to effectively quantify one's claims, which requires a certain amount of effort that you regularly fail to demonstrate, hence the reason why I'm always able to argue far more effectively than you can.

Simply put: I reap the rewards of possessing knowledge that was acquired from the amount of effort I expend performing extensive research! Whereas you don't even try, so you always fail.

Keep crying kid, because your tears taste delicious!

Don't know why but I have the feeling EO is Chris Eubank Sr. spreding his wisdom on this forum. Both seems to have the same habits when they communicate with other people and both think they are always right.
