Morales lost to Garcia by decision, was dropped once.
Khan lost to Garcia by 4th round knockout, was dropped three times.
Which of these two fighters is more deserving of a rematch against Garcia?
I voted Morales. He is way past prime and it's now or never for him. Khan is very young and can rematch Garcia anytime. Morales put up a better fight and I think he gave Garcia a shot at his tittle so Garcia would be returning the favor. I am happy Morales is getting a nice payday and a chance to win the tittle. He deseves it. Good for Garcia. Lots of big money fights out there for Khan.
Lol ok probably not, did you even watch it? Khan won the first 2 rounds, then was KNOCKED DOWN in the 3rd, and twice in the 4th. Sounds like he sure dominated every minute of every round until that fatal left hook.
So you agree? He was winning until the knock down.
Not sure how it was a one sided fight. khan won every minute of every round up until that left hook caught him.

Morales doesnt deserve a rematch..... he is OWED a rematch.
Rematch clause, end of story. At the time Eric was giving Danny the shot, so the terms favored him
Morales, hands down. At least he gave Garcia a fight, and made it to the final bell. Khan went into the fight overlooking the guy, and got finished.
As someone said earlier, neither of them truly deserve a rematch, but I believe that Morales made it more competitive for Danny.
Props to Morales' performance and if he needs/wants to continue fighting more power to him, but I have no desire to see him fight anymore this far past his prime.
Morales at least he put up a decent fight and didn't get blasted out in brutal, one-sided fashion.
This.
Though I think Garcia was just too cautious there, or offered too much respect. I would rather see the Khan rematch though, but Garcia deserves it more.
THat will make more sense. Good post. I was mainly talking to people who says 'if you get destroyed, you don't get a rematch'... Well if you are a big star, you get a rematch. Boxing is a business. That's why Tyson would have gotten a rematch with Lewis, etc. Wlad with Sanders etc. Being destroyed have no effect when it comes to rematches if you are a big enough star.
Obviously you are right, Khan isn't as big a star as the likes of Tyson, so if GB decides Garcia is the future, no rematch.
That's how promoters are, they don't wanna put their eggs in the same basket unless it's very profitable. If both guys win their next fight I can see a rematch early next year, and that will make a lot of money.
Nothing lead me to believe Khan would do any better in a rematch. The kids a cashcow whose gullible fanbase has gone to pot. He didn't give Prescott, Maidana or anybody else a rematch so why should he get star treatment like he is some elite talent that calls the shots?
The guy is straight up garbage & will never improve because he is too pig-headed to take constructive criticism on board.
He is also noway near the draw he or people make out & you only have to look at his rather mediocre numbers to see that.
I'd rather see a fat, out-of-shape, shot to pieces Morales than that defenseless amateur any day of the week. Morales earned his position the right way, like a warrior does. Khan is just a spoiled brat, real talk.
This is not how boxing works. Neither Garcia or Khan is bigger then the sport. So to them you have to look at it from a business standpoint.
Kahn vs Garcia in England is the bigger match, more hype, more tickets, more money.
Just like Froch destroyed Bute, but a Bute-Froch rematch in Canada will be bigger then any other Froch fight.
Fighters can be caught cold, it happens all the time. They can do better in rematches too. Look at Wlad vs Corrie Sanders. Now obviously Wlad didn't rematch, but to say that Wlad don't deserve one just because Wlad was destroyed is stupid. Wlad deserve a rematch, just like Kahn deserve one, just like Bute deserve one. Why? They are the bigger stars.
Now in rare situations, the bigger star becomes so scared they just won't rematch. Ala, Mike Tyson. Tyson was beaten so raw by Lennox, he declined a rematch offer. It is what it is. But in most situations the bigger stars always deserve a rematch.
Who the **** is Danny Garcia?He's a nobody, Khan is still a bigger star overall
I think in this case, Golden Boy knew that a second KO loss in a row would have destroyed Khan's career so they decided to make money with their new star Garcia while giving Khan some time to rebuild (if he can). Makes sense from the promoter's point of view.
neither. they both lost clear decisions
I agree, but I guess I give Morales a pass- even if I don't want to see the fight- in getting a rematch if it happens. Just the regard I hold the old guy in.
