I feel both Garcia and Spence used it a bit to raise their profiles, the fight may still happen, but hopefully Mikey's team will be able to convince him of a different path for now.

I just don't really see the path they are taking for Garcia with a Spence fight. If he wins would he stay at 147 and fight the other top guys? I know that's what I'd want from him if he won, that makes a Loma fight an even more remote possibility. Or would/could he drop back to 140 or 135 for Loma or whoever has emerged at 140?

Where does he settle if he loses? I doubt he'd stay at welter. So probably 140 is more likely.

Mikey strikes me as a guy who could live without boxing, he might just take the money and retire.

Personally I think Mikey can make excellent fights at 135 and 140, as well as good money, for another year or 2 before a need even arises to go to 147.
