Mikey Garcia inactive for over 2 years.

I saw an article in 2014 talking about his walking weight as high as 160lbs. Such a disappointment with his level of talent and lack of activity. I really liked watching him progress in the fight and ultimately take over as the rounds progressed. Maybe the guy was just getting board?

Hadn't even thought about him... Quite rare to see boxers in his position just up and leave. He was a young undefeated world champion, and always looked pretty damn good. If his heart wasn't in it, he was never found out for it and that's impressive as he fought a few at least very solid guys. Hope he made a bit of cash and does something else.

He is a tremendous and disciplined fighter in there. No wasted punches or movement.

Did he officially retire?

He wasn't going to get robbed by Arum anymore. I appreciate that he had the courage of his convictions.
(Although I would have preferred to see him fight)

Solid fighter.

I wondered what happened to him too. He was a very good fighter and had a chance to be one of the top 5 in the sport. A big what if fighter for the future.

As stated above, he had contract disputes with top rank. He wanted to be free and clear. Im not sure how the contract is structured. (whether is based solely on fights or if there is a time/inactivity escape clause.) He mentioned he was willing to fight crawford and beat him (his words) if it freed him of the top rank contract. I think hes back in the gym and plans were to be back from april to the summer at welter. The plans could have changed though I read this maybe about a month to month and half ago maybe.

Such a sad waste of talent and prime years of a fighters. Promoters need shooting for tying up fighters careers and livelihoods.

Garcia must really despise Arum that he will not fight. Most fighters would just get on with it and earn some money rather than effectively going on strike.
