QUOTES BY Mikey Garcia


I have a blue 2010 Dodge Challenger SRT, the first car I ever bought. I didn't want it to just be a regular Challenger. I wanted it to be different. So I sent it out to Richard Petty's garage in North Carolina, completely tricked it out - a one-of-a-kind built for me and we changed the name of it from 'Challenger' to 'Champion.'

I've been dropped. You get up, and you win the fight.

If I look forward to bigger fights, than the biggest fight for me is Manny Pacquiao.

My kids are four years apart. They're constantly fighting, hitting each other, grabbing the toy away from the other.

All of the great fighters have had losses but are still considered among the greatest ever. The undefeated record is not as important to me as facing the toughest challenges out there.

I'm not afraid to step up and take challenges.

I don't think being undefeated is going to determine my greatness.

I'm not an 'opponent.' I don't believe I should be treated as an opponent.

I could easily be defending my title against top contenders in the Top 10, but if they haven't been champions or their record's not perfect, it doesn't really excite me. It doesn't motivate me. But that's why I'm facing guys like Dejan Zlaticanin, Sergey Lipinets, undefeated champions.
