    to be honest, i think this fight is a lot closer than most would think. pac has problem with smaller guys who arent plodders that can match or be comparable in speed. my theory on pac is that moving up in weight was an advantage for him because he kept his speed and power moving up. this is why JMM always gave him trouble no matter what. think about all of the fighters who have given him problems. they are people that havent been afraid of him and can counter him and catch him with a lot of shots.

    im not saying that mickey would win, but i will go on record saying that mickey makes a more competitive fight than anybody he has fought outside of marquez for the past 7 years.

    Honestly, that's just a stupid thing to say by Garcia. I mean seriously, slow your roll. I like Garcia and can take Manny or leave him but get a grip. Not only is he divisions apart but the humility he showed early is eroding into a young cocky guy getting ahead of himself and reading his press clippings while blowing weigh ins and being dropped clean by a smaller guy. Dude needs to concentrate on himself first and not be puffed up into some camp affiliation or frankly even think he merits a Manny event at this stage. Walk then run!

    Exactly.. It's not like Pacman bulked up so much to compete these bigger guys.. He had the advantage at the higher weights because of his exceptional speed..

    The ones who were the most effective against him were the guys his size like Morales and Marquez cuz they had the skills to catch him with punches he didnt see..

    MIkey Garcia is naturally bigger than the likes of Morales and Marquez and he's capable of hurting pacman just the same.

    Size is a non factor in this matchup. Pac aint got no size advantage against Garcia..

    Come on, you're going to fault a guy for trying to talk himself into a 4 million dollar payday?

    Mikey is a great young talent, but I don't know if he can deal with Pac this early in his career.

    Yea he did but shit like that happens.. pac is not a natural WW and he's no bigger than garcia..

    Garcia can beat pacquaio..
    Garcia was dropped by a lightweight world champ but pac was ko'd by a flyweight bum

    That's not relevant in this fight. Pacs too divisions bigger and that should prove decisive but there's signs pacs on his way out and at the rate Mikey Garcia is improving nothing would surprise me

    Mikey would have a decent shot. Pac has been beating guys on speed. That advantage is gone against smaller fighters. Looking at the punch that dropped Manny in the 3rd round of the Marquez fight his reactions have slowed. I'd be very interested in this fight.

    The best thing for Manny is to keep fighting plodders, Ruslan fits the bill.

    Garcia is a quality fighter who should concentrate on his own weight class. Everyone wants to fight the cash cows like Floyd and Manny but you have to earn it most of the time, although connections with Top Rank and GBP help a little.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
