Mikey Garcia plans to vacate WBC lightweight belt

[Spicoli]

Good spot for Campbell. Keeping an 'out' open..once again..for Mikey to return to lightweight for the wbc is a farce. Shame it looks like Loma v Mikey is not on his mind and if he goes 147 again I can't see him doing much there and this all sounds very familiar.

I hate all these belt (cough) "categories". Emeritus, super, regular, interim, silver, gold, platinum, blah blah blah. The WBC is the king of the worthless belts and titles. It's a shame, because it lessens the importance of the actual, well-earned belts.

Weak move by Mikey and really screws Loma. Loma will be forced to retire without ever fighting an elite fighter it seems. Tragic

At least for Loma’s sake he greats credit as if he had beaten a truly elite fighter.

The real silver lining is that he can retire without having read your posts, that bolsters anyones legacy.

So you disagree? No, I expect you know what I said is true so you do the personal attack. Common, disappointing, but common.

Its just banter, though you do take things a bit too seriously for my liking. I think i remember you didnt discredit Rigos chances before he fought Loma, despite the size difference. If Garcia were to come back down and make the fight right away there could be the same excuse, right? Not to mention Loma is still young enough, and Davis or Lopez could prove worthy opponents.

A few things about your lack of memory

1)I clearly picked Loma, if you think you can find me saying anything otherwise try to look it up. It will be a waste of your time though.

2)I’ve never made excuses about outcomes except disagreeing with outcome. If you care to look feel free but it will be a waste of your time. But, Mikey coming down would have nothing to do with different sizes, they both started at the same weight, they are the same age. Mikey should make the fight, he owes the fans that made him wealthy and he owes Loma because Loma deserves that opportunity.

As far as Lopez or Tank, neither is ready. Lopez will outgrow the division before he is ready. Let me put it differently.....Mikey should be the one to give Loma his shot at greatness because Mikey is the only one ready right now to give him that shot. Loma can fight 1000 Pedraza’s, it doesn’t mean anything to his potential level. And this isn’t GGG choosing not to chase greatness, this is a fighter being robbed of his opportunity to chase greatness.
