Agreed. I too like Mikey, but he needs to build off that good broner win with a couple key names. Idk if the man he is facing next will do it for him. I’d love to see Mikey vs Crawford in the future. I’d like to see loma in the mix as well, though I’d hate it at the same time because Mikey and loma are two of my favorites.IMO Garcia and Postol are tied for the best at 140 w/o Crawford at the moment. I'm a Mikey fan but I think he needs a few more wins in the division to be considered the best at 140
Yeah 140 is a lot more interesting with Mikey and Loma in the mixAgreed. I too like Mikey, but he needs to build off that good broner win with a couple key names.

Have any of y'all never heard of Eduard Troyanovsky?
Troyanovsky was 25-0 and won almost every single fight by KO, before that shock knockout at the hands of Indongo. Indongo isn't top 5 on any of the rankings, after he lost the belt they demoted him straight to Top 10.
Troyanovksy never left his zip code in Moscow. He was a paper champion. 140 division was terrible terrible filled with fake champions + Bud Crawford
I ain't saying he's the best fighter but he was a top fighter in that pool and he still has KO power. He's in the same league as Indongo and the British guy Indongo beat. Even if that guy had a few more notable names.
Look at the rankings right now, how many of them do you recognize, or the names on their resumes? They're all Troyanovsky caliber fighters. This division hasn't had notable names since all the big names moved up to WW.
And if you didn't notice Crawford moved up too, so he's not in the conversation anymore. Its Troyanovsky and the rest now. And in this class i see Troy pretty highly.
I know Crawford moved up, thats the whole point of debating whether Mikey is the best at 140.
Troyanovsky sucks man. Lipnets, Kondo, Prograis, Postol....are all better than him at 140, as is Mikey. He's terrible. Ricky Burns was dogshit too. It just shows you how bad 140 was that both those guys had titles.
